This sets a dangerous precedent, allowing an administration to dismantle an independent scientific body and replace it wholesale, undermining scientific integrity and public trust." It happened with the CDC's Lead Poisoning Prevention Advisory Committee in 2001.

Do countries become oligarchies overnight, or do they rot slowly from within?
