Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : A bill introduced in the California Senate on Thursday, shared first with POLITICO, would create a new state agency to fund the scientific research being slashed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency as well as bolster the vaccine access being questioned by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. "California is a global leader on science in our own right, and we must step in to protect our scientific institutions from the new Administration's anti-science, Make America Sick Again onslaught," the bill's author, San Francisco state Sen. Scott Wiener, said in a statement announcing his proposal.
43% : " The move comes as California and other states gird for potentially massive cuts to health care and scientific research coming from Washington, and as a growing measles outbreak throws the administration's position on vaccines into question.
35% : "As Trump, Musk, and RFK Jr. tear apart federal science leadership, California must step up for science," said Wiener, who's widely believed to have his eyes on Nancy Pelosi's House seat.
34% : They also agreed to review the science behind vaccine recommendations and stay-at-home orders themselves instead of relying on Trump.
32% : His proposal would create a new state agency -- the California Institute for Scientific Research -- that would provide grants and loans in several areas being targeted for cuts by Trump and Musk, including research in biomedicine, climate, weather and drug safety.
