Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
The man was prophetic, both in his fear that "a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity" as shown by this burial of research to preserve funding and the "danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite" such as Dr. "La science c'est moi" Fauci.
Duh. Yeah.This entire vaccine thingie is about MONEY. HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE and IVERMECTIN cost pennies and don’t kill you. But hey, pharma and research labs want us to pay for this clot-shot snake oil.
“It’s sickening.”
Indeed it is. And people died from it.
Yes, and not just in the medical field.
“Science” was an exercise chasing government money in the early 1980’s. I was told that by people on a couple of “projects”.
Then it is not "research funding," it has become propaganda funding.

Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. The search for the truth of practically anything in modern society is supplanted by the love of money no matter the cost to said society.

And Fauci holds the purse strings of who receives research money, and who doesn’t. Dr. Malone compared him to a mafia don running a nefarious and deadly organization.
Bump!
