\nspeaking at the March for Science in Doylestown, PA.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

My name is John Mack and I
\nlive in Newtown.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nOn Twitter I am known as
\nPharmaGuy \u2013 that\u2019s P-H-A-R-M-A, plus \u201cGuy!\u201d I PUBLISH a newsletter for the
\npharmaceutical industry. And I have a graduate degree in Biochemistry.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nEvery day we benefit from medicines
\nand vaccines<\/b> created by scientists
\nwho work in pharmaceutical and government-funded research laboratories. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe need to discover new drugs
\nfaster and defend efforts that make those drugs cheaper and more accessible to
\neveryone. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nIn doing so, however, we also
\nneed to defend the scientific methods the drug industry uses to prove that
\nmedicines WORK. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nA big part of that process is
\nthe Food and Drug Administration, which ensures that drugs are proven safe and
\neffective through rigorous clinical
\ntrials<\/b>.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nToday the Food and Drug
\nAdministration and other science-based agencies like the National Institutes of Health<\/b> and the Environmental Protection Agency<\/b> are under attack by the current
\nadministration, <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWHICH intends to increase SPENDING
\non the military and decrease SPENDING on these and other science-based agencies
\nthat help improve our lives. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe should not have to sacrifice science
\nfor security.<\/b><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDEFUNDING science impacts us
\non a local level whether the issue is the quality of our air and water,
\nfracking, opioid drug abuse, or the heroin epidemic. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe need leaders who believe
\nin data and scientific evidence to help solve these problems.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMore scientists must get
\ninvolved in politics today just as Benjamin Franklin did during the American
\nRevolutionary War.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThere is a war being fought today \u2013 a
\nwar against science.<\/b> <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe must defend science in THIS war.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMarching together is a good
\nfirst step. <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBut we must follow up by
\nelecting pro-science leaders<\/b> and
\nensure that they rely on evidence, not
\nbeliefs<\/b>, when making decisions about our health, our environment, and our
\ngeneral well-being.<\/div>\n
\n
\nThank you for listening and
\nmay Science be with you!<\/b><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
