CNBC ^ | 08 July 2022 | Spencer Kimball

It's a massive undertaking, and expectations are high. The size of the budget, breadth, depth and scope of the study are rarely seen in scientific studies...The National Institutes of Health also plans to launch clinical trials on potential treatments in coming months.

The NIH has lost all credibility, ergo this massive waste of taxpayer dollars is worthless. It only adds to the inflation burden.

I wouldn’t give them the time of day much less actually participate in some politically-purposed ‘study.’

There is only one motivation for such a study which omits common therapeutics.

Same ol, same ol.

pretty much this will be the blame area for any and all vax issues. they do need to come up with something people desperate to avoid facing the truth can cling to.

‘Twould be nice to fund a study of how this got started and why it spread. Of course, we know, but who cares, right?

And the next pandemic is coming. Guaranteed. And it will not be accidental.

Yet no studies allowed on the Ivermectin cocktail.

Would undermine Pfizer's Billions and their kickbacks to Politicians.

Oh....and people getting well would undermine the Population Control agenda.

More likely studying why these 40,000 are still living so they can tweak the next 'variant' they are working on (bidens next oft warned pandemic), to increase the mortality.

You are right. There is no way such a study could cost 1.2 billion dollars. Who knows where the excess will go.

“Fauci still passing out the dough.”

This is exactly it and stated with excellent concision. Fauci is buying support for THE SCIENCE. Covid is/was nothing special and would have passed as every other flu season has, except for the intense propaganda campaign. Now they will do this “study”, the purpose of which is to buy fealty to the fascistic “public health” scam and produce fodder for 100s of stories in the MSM about how dangerous Covid is.

Too much, way too late for NIH. They should have enrolled everyone from the start!
As an aside, Harvard has an endowment of 50 Billion bucks, Stanford,Yale, and Princeton ain’t that far behind.
One would have thought these beneficial institutions of higher learning would have volunteered their copious assets (knowledge also)....to have developed smarter vaccines, and therapeutic tools, and drugs instead of the taxpaying public depending only on the us government to figure it out.
Total fail.

My daughter has long COVID. The doctors who see this all day, every day told her it could be with her for a year. She’s half way through the year and seeing improvements already. Sounds to me like this whole initiative is another waste of money, like everything else pissed away on COVID.

Covid is special in that it is one part of a man made bio-weapon.

This is a BS study to make vaxxing look good. Pure none sense.
