Your post absolutely does NOT offend me in the least. I am of the same mind. In the last two years, the NIH has forfeited any trust I might have placed in it.
I included that graphic about the NIH to fortify my observation that the NIH is indeed involved in this kind of thing, and in my opinion, absolutely should not be. (As opposed to some non-governmental entity such as a non-profit, which I support. Their money. Their time. I am all good with those people.
But the NIH, or anywhere else in government? Not even one, single person there.
Oh, “climate change” WILL devastate us, right? Bad ideas are more deadly than any virus.
