The US government is reportedly investing millions of dollars to breed more monkeys in the name of biomedical research after a shortage of the animals worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the scientific journal Nature, demand for the non-human primates in the US has skyrocketed as the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued grants to study HIV/AIDS and the coronavirus necessitated the animals’ use in vaccine testing last year.
The publication reported Thursday that the NIH had invested around $29 million over the past two years in primate housing and care in addition to other “infrastructure improvements” at the seven US National Primate Research Centers (NPRCs) and that the agency is expected to spend another $7.5 million by October.
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) FY2022 Budget in Brief includes an additional $30 million to support a 27 percent increase in funding of non-human primate resource infrastructure at the NPRCs and Caribbean Primate Research Center (CPRC).
“These resources will address space and infrastructure capability needs such as animal purchase and transport along with investments to expand housing and support space,” the agency wrote in its request.
According to Nature’s report, around $8 million of recent funding for the NPRCs came from the 2020 CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security) Act.
The NPRCs have more than 22,000 animals including rodents like rats, mice and voles.
Rhesus macaques are the non-human primates most commonly used in NPRC research programs and the centers’ website explains this is due to similar “biological links” between the animals and humans.

The vaccines killed off a bunch of lab monkeys????
Accidentally....................
Huh?
You have to pay monkeys to breed?
You don’t have to pay humans to breed.
I’ll do it for free. See what I mean?
Are female monkeys in short supply?
5.56mm
LOL, where’s PETA??? Oh I bet out eating a Prime Rib while no one is watching:-)
And where did all the old monkeys go? They die in vaccine testing?
And what do you do? Show them monkey porn?
That actually makes more sense than the movie did.
Somehow, a zombie apocalypse has to be fit in there, though.
Millions? Seriously?
What? Don’t the monkeys know how??
And they met with Kamala Harris, who is already widely suspected of being a "super-spreader." /ba-dum t'sssh>
It takes a lot of Spanish Fly to incense a monkey.....................

I thought we were the test monkeys.
How does the breeding work?
Singing by the males. “Peel me a nanner, toss me a peanut, and I’ll come .....
Given the politics, we just know that somewhere there is a new josef mengele itching to start experimenting with “vaccines” on the newest class of Jews: the great unvaxed. And we know there are many in the biden admin just dying to set him free to work his magic.
Put them all in a big cage and let them do their thing. I think they already know how to breed.
Great Play!
I read once that a zoo wanted to breed their monkey population.
The monkeys were 3rd and 4th generation within the zoo system and had never experienced life in the wild.
The keepers had to bring videos of monkeys copulating, in order for the zoo population ‘get it’
Actually, the monkeys were all progressives and screwed each other promiscuously
more monkey business...
