Avoid foreign ties.

Some 54 scientists have resigned or been fired as a result of an ongoing investigation by the National Institutes of Health into the failure of NIH grantees to disclose financial ties to foreign governments. In 93% of those cases, the hidden funding came from a Chinese institution.
The new numbers come from Michael Lauer, NIH’s head of extramural research. Lauer had previously provided some information on the scope of NIH’s investigation, which had targeted 189 scientists at 87 institutions. But his presentation today to a senior advisory panel offered by far the most detailed breakout of an effort NIH launched in August 2018 that has roiled the U.S. biomedical community, and resulted in criminal charges against some prominent researchers, including Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University’s department of chemistry and chemical biology.
“It’s not what we had hoped, and it’s not a fun task,” NIH Director Francis Collins said in characterizing the ongoing investigation. He called the data “sobering.”
In the vast majority of cases, Lauer reported, the person being investigated has been an Asian man in his 50s. Some three-quarters of those under investigation had active NIH grants, and nearly half had at least two grants. The 285 active grants totaled $164 million....

Sheesh!
China’s bald espionage is striking. They always have been at war with an unsuspecting , largely leftist government bureaucracy, which has been powned completely.
Even Dr. Anthony Fauci is suspect ( so is Bill Gates).

this is kinda flying under the radar.
especially considering "nobody is doing nothing"
PS: who signs fauci's paycheck anyway??
Problematically only a decimation of what needs to be done
Avoid foreign ties.
when does farci get exposed?
Even the Polish ones?
Every department, agency and branch of the fedgov should be so probed. The legal equivlent of a biopsy, colonoscopy and MRI.
First the WHO ties to China, now the NIH. Sheesh.
If they falsify information on a Federal form, isn’t that a crime? They should be prosecuted, not just fired.

I’d have put the thumb screws to that little bastard.
bttt
It's a start.
wow, thanks for posting.
That bought and paid for research was probably the basis for unhealthy CDC “requirements” and info re drugs or other treatments (e.g., fake studies portraying CHQ as useless). China is not our friend.
When having it all is never enough:

Federal arrest[edit]
On January 28, 2020, Lieber was charged with two federal counts of making a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement about his links to a Chinese university. According to the Department of Justice’s charging document[82], there are two counts of alleged crime committed by Lieber. First, during an interview by DoD on April 24, 2018, Lieber was asked whether he was involved in the Thousand Talents Program. Lieber stated that “he was never asked to participate in the Thousand Talents Program”, adding that “he ‘wasn’t sure’ how China categorized him.” The DOJ believes that Lieber’s statement was false, because an intercepted email dated June 27, 2012, from Wuhan University of Technology (”WUT”) included a contract for Lieber to sign. Second, in November 2018, the NIH inquired of Harvard University about Lieber’s foreign affiliations. In January 2019, Harvard interviewed Lieber and reported to NIH that Lieber “had no formal association with WUT” after 2012. The DOJ believes Lieber’s statement was false. Lieber was charged with two counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2), one on April 24, 2018, and one in January 2019 for making the allegedly false statements.
During his arraignment, authorities executed search warrants at his home and office in Lexington, Massachusetts. Lieber has been placed on paid administrative leave by Harvard.[83]
On June 9, 2020, the Department of Justice, Indicted on False Statement Charges. Alleged that, unbeknownst to Harvard University, beginning in 2011, Lieber became a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China. He later became contractual participant in China’s Thousand Talents Plan from at least 2012 through 2015. [84]
