Do you mean doctors? He could cut funding for scientific research and other medical funding and make their lives much harder. He probably already has, so he can threaten to cut it even more to keep them quiet.

Unless you meant something else.

He has done so much damage, it might have slipped by. He could have made cuts here and there that no one noticed, especially if he did it before this Corona thing came up. I don't know that, but even if he hasn't, he could threaten them with it.

... to pregnant women, that abortion is NOT risky, for example. Title 10 says they can't talk about abortion as an option if their clinic gets govt funding.

"By restricting providers from delivering accurate information to their patients, including abortion referrals, the new Title X rule represents an inappropriate intrusion in the patient-physician relationship." American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists president.

is smartly wary of losing his job if he continues to speak in public.

His job is more important than most, and he wants to and should keep it.
