“The years passed, mankind became stupider at a frightening rate. Some had high hopes the genetic engineering would correct this trend in evolution, but sadly the greatest minds and resources where focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.”
- Idiocracy
One of many reasons the Founding Fathers wanted limited government.
As NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci is responsible for funding such research.
Not a problem - just increase their budget by $30 billion more....
The left seems to get joy from wasting taxpayer money. From useless studies to conferences in vacation locations to so many wasteful ways that it is difficult to comprehend.
NIH is a waste of taxpayer’s money.
The Obama Years ?
What were the findings on Tailgating?
A bunch of us Temple Football Fans, “The Parliament” had been getting together for years, and everyone would bring enough food to feed themselves and the other six families. Needless to say, we all had a TON of leftovers, and early season games, we had to throw them away because our cars were all too hot.
Finally, my buddy Hal, suggested we coordinate in advance as to what to bring. Sure saved everyone a ton of trouble.
If NIH had shared their findings with us about five years ago, that would have made the entire operation justifiable.
John Solomom and “Just the News” helping to save America from itself.
We finally have someone who is trusted and admired by those who are on the inside of these institutions and who are willing to expose these insanities.
We have much to learn.
Hey, it’s not THEIR money, so they won’t hesitate to spe3nd it on any frivolousness they choose.
All research grants should require a precise accounting of how every penny is spent. And probably half of all requests should be denied out of hand. I personally don’t care why lesbians tend to be overweight or why trannies are more likely to commit suicide.
Fauci = NIH Director.
“Just two days ago, in the midst of surging coronavirus deaths in America, NIH released a joint study by its National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Aging that came to a heady conclusion: If you walk more, you are likely to live longer.”
Wow. If you walk more, you are likely to live longer.
I.
Did.
Not.
Know.
That!
NIH has a Primate Animal Facility on a very lovely rural property apart from the Bethesda campus.
Odd thing is that driving past the site on the two lane country road the white rail fence always seem to have a dozen or so vultures just sitting and waiting, staring towards the hidden lab buildings. And no, they’re not waiting for road kills, hardly ever any traffic on that stretch... now I know they’re waiting for drunken monkeys...
Thats the basic nature of research. A lot of DARPA’s work is similarly dead ended.
It’s the game changer hit it out of the park home runs that make it all worthwhile.
And NIH has hit quite a few out if the park. A15% success rate in innovative and applied research is better than average in my experience.
I consider a 1 in 10 success rate pretty darn good in applied research. We are able to do the things we do because the 15% success justifies the investment in the 85% not so successful that maintains the critical mass of our R&D system. Sure there are lots of seemingly worthless and frivolous projects that need to be cut out and should be cut out. However, I can give at least one example of a research project that I at the time considered the epitome of frivolous and absurd but turned out to have some pretty consequential and far reaching impacts. You never know when and where the next great break through may come from
Have recently read quite a few of NIH research papers and have been absolutely blown away by the quality and important usefulness of some of the work.
Just more evidence that government is wasteful. For profit companies would never waste these kinds of dollars. Mystifying that in the face of insurmountable evidence of waste fraud and abuse, Democrats continue to think Government is the answer.
St. Fauci and his DEMOCRAT WIFE are both at NIH!!!
MORE TRUTH from John Solomon!! He doesn’t worship Golden Calfs like Fauci!
Do a search for Fauci, Event 201 and Bill Gates for their mRNA-1273 vaccine. Follow the money and you’ll see why they oppose the hydroxycholoquine treatment.
This is certainly not a surprise. It’s extraordinary that we would read something like this and not be surprised, yet that is the reality of massive bureaucracies and what we have come to expect.
