How Trump has damaged science

US President Donald Trump’s actions have exacerbated the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 200,000 people in the United States, rolled back environmental and public-health regulations and undermined science and scientific institutions. Experts say that many of those deaths were avoidable and some of the harm to science could be permanent. “I’ve never seen such an orchestrated war on the environment or science,” says Christine Todd Whitman, who headed the US Environmental Protection Agency under former Republican president George W. Bush.
