It's important right now. I asked my friend Chat (on January 27, 2025), "Is Trump for or against Lyme disease federal funding?"
He replied: "While these funding decisions are made by Congress, the administration's stance on broader health funding could influence future allocations. Notably, the Trump administration has proposed significant budget cuts to federal health agencies, including the NIH and CDC, which may impact research and prevention efforts related to Lyme disease."
