Perhaps when the director of the NIH stops throwing away 30x as much money per casualty on AIDS research as on the most frequent killers of Americans he'll have something valuable to say.
The plans and directives for NIH are not usually founded in the reality of year-to-year scientific development ... when spending taxpayer monies, never focus upon right and wrong (morally) and always check the source institute from whence cometh the request (the politics of research funding; see GSlob for more on THAT).
