The bill, entitled the NIH Reform Act would replace the Anthony Fauci-led National Institute of Allergic Diseases (NIAD) with three separate agencies:
One to deal with allergic diseases,
a second with infectious diseases,
and a third to deal with immunologic diseases.
Directors of each of these institutes would be subject to Senate confirmation and would serve no more than two five-year terms.

This is not a solution - this is MORE BIG G'Ment - My goodness, these elected assholes just keep sticking it to us.

SHRINK the size of the Fed. Departments - reduce their $$$ by 30% each year

This is the point you beat me to.

If NIH and its subset NIAID had its budget cut by 75 % to 90 %, it wouldn't have money enough to create mischief in China with gain-of-function research.

Better yet, if it didn't exist then funding for research would come from the private sector, which it already does in large measure.
