00:00More than a million U.S. veterans did something extraordinary.
00:03They volunteered their DNA to help unlock medical breakthroughs that could save lives.
00:08This effort, called the Million Veteran Program,
00:11became one of the largest genetic databases in the world.
00:14And the data?
00:15It's helped uncover links to anxiety, cancer risks,
00:19even the impact of toxic exposures like burn pits.
00:22But now, scientists are sounding the alarm.
00:25Decades of progress could be lost. Why?
00:28Because crucial partnerships, like the one with the Energy Department's supercomputers,
00:32are set to expire.
00:34No computing power, no research.
00:36Grants are drying up.
00:38Trials are being canceled.
00:40And experts with years of experience are leaving.
00:43The Department of Veterans Affairs once led the world in medical innovation.
00:47They gave us the pacemaker and helped launch life-changing weight loss drugs.
00:51But today, due to budget cuts and bureaucracy,
00:54the very program that promised to transform veteran health is in limbo.
00:58And the data that could change millions of lives?
01:00At risk of collecting dust.
01:02Linkedinário now has been made up of 30 tons per square feet.
01:06In the state of the state of the space,
01:07the test might need to SARAH and AC dusty travel.
01:08Then, we are diagnosed with less concrete information.
01:10We are diagnosed with aökullscape.
01:12After the design process, we are almost 100% of our consciousness.
01:14The model is available in the state of the state of the state of the state.
01:16And now, it's a solid state of the state of the state.
