They were busy studying obesity and racism.
NIH? Isn’t that Dr Fauci?
I am now a retired RN, but I remember the whole Ebola crisis.
Healthcare staff was required to watch a video of PPE staff needed to wear with Ebola patients.
It consisted of gloves, mask and gown. Neck, lower legs, shoes, and the space between the end of your gown and the start of the gloves exposed. Africa had better PPE.
This was the same PPE that the two nurses who got Ebola wore.
I knew then all the hospital administrators ( most of whom are not medically trained who have an MBA) were absolutely clueless, or they just didnt give a damn.
It was all about making a buck.
Would I work in a hospital now, and volunteer for this effort? No way.
The CDC, NIH need to be disbanded, and a more nimble department needs to be enacted. We also need more research dollars for viruses.
Hospitals need to be more prepared, instead of building palaces.
What government agency is?
Thank you
Which, in reality after 2008, we already do own them.
HOMER KNEW!
According to this 90 SECOND video, NBC (NatteringBoobs Communications) had to cancel theirs. Folks, this AIN’T a PANdemic. It’s a SCAMdemic! HOMER KNEW! Move one level up the food chain & you’ll find ALL the USUAL SUSPECTS!

Why would they? It’s a government job.
“The National Institutes of Health is the government agency primarily responsible for biomedical and public health research. After SARS and, again, after H1N1, the NIH, along with the CDC, should have been paying close attention to illnesses emerging in China and other third-world countries.”
As a former NASA employee (contractor) I can assure you NASA is looking at the problem. And IIRC several experiments are being conducted (in pack, solar wind, gravity tug). The problem is identifying a threat long before it becomes an unsolvable problem and NASA has launched at least one satellite to do just that. Just hope the space rock does not approach from behind the Sun.
What is with all that pop up carp at their web site??? Unreadable
Trust me, when it comes it’s gonna be YOUR fault.
I’ve been watching CDC and FDA closely since Covid19 appeared on my radar screen. Both have been miserable failures. At a minimum leadership at CDC and FDA needs to be fired.
Me? I am retired. I sure hope the mob doesn’t find out I’m X NASA when the space rock shows up.
Here is another article/post about NIH waste and incompetence.
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3828878/posts
The author cites no specific shortcomings particular to this outbreak, suggests nothing that could have been done that would make a difference, and seems to confuse the roles of NIH, CDC and FEMA.
Click bait.
What if NIH or other agencies had funded research into the efficacy of drugs like chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, and HIV cocktails that had shown promise against coronavirus dating back to 2003?
What if more pressure had been applied by the medical governance world to develop vaccines aimed at coronavirus?
What if the medical community had simply adjusted its outdated modeling that predicted coronavirus would spread slowly and could be contained to account for the massive growth in global air travel the last decade that transported this virus from China to the West in treacherously fast time?
The cheapest Monday morning quarterbacking.
Who says they weren't?
I suggest this article by John Solomon as a more thorough critique of NIH.
