During the pandemic, the American people started to feel that Big Government was very cozy with Big Pharma.
Now we know just how close they were.
New data from the National Institutes of Health reveals the agency and its scientists collected $710 million in royalties during the pandemic, from late 2021 through 2023. These are payments made by private companies, like pharmaceuticals, to license medical innovations from government scientists.
Almost all that cash — $690 million — went to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), the subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and 260 of its scientists.
Information about this vast private royalty complex is tightly held by NIH. My organization, OpenTheBooks.com, was forced to sue to uncover the royalties paid from September 2009 to October 2021, which amounted to $325 million over 56,000 transactions.
We had to sue a second time, with Judicial Watch as our counsel, to pry open this new release.
Payments skyrocketed during the pandemic era: those years saw more than double the amount of cash flow to NIH from the private sector, compared to the prior twelve combined. All told, it’s $1.036 billion.
It’s unclear if any of the Covid vaccine royalties from Pfizer and Moderna, the latter of which settled with NIH by agreeing to pay $400 million, is even included in these new numbers. NIH isn’t saying.
...
Fauci won’t be able to misspell words to evade scrutiny or have folks physically courier messages — just two of the FOIA-avoiding actions described by Dr. David Morens, a key Fauci deputy.
...
Fauci wraps five decades in government having become its highest-paid bureaucrat, he should consider ticking those boxes again. For old times’ sake.

How do you spell “corruption”? F-A-U-C-I.
Make no mistake. These were bribes. These government employees accepted bribes that also harmed the tax payers. There should be no mercy. Mass murder charges for all of them.
zero private money should go directly to ANY FedGov agency: it should all go into the general fund and CONGRESS should allocate all said monies according to the US Constitution ...
A few years before covid, Ralph Baric exposed a scheme by well connected researchers and government officials to cash in on the next pandemic while he was giving a public presentation at a conference
Mass murder of innocent human beings. RIP DG. RIP DF.
This information has been available since 2010 and Fauci and the NIH unethical have been collecting patent royalties since the GRIDS epidemic. It is easily obtainable in an information search.
Pure Bribes. What was Fauci’s payoff.
Fake news. Trump, in Iowa talk d about the billions saved worldwide by operation warp speed. Iowa agreed and voted for him en masse.
He saved us with th Faucis help… and that’s why Trump rightfully gave him the prez commendation.
It was about lives and we are grateful.
Can you do the same for this one?
After Long Delay, Moderna Pays N.I.H. for Covid Vaccine Technique
Moderna has paid $400 million to the government for a chemical technique key to its vaccine. But the parties are still locked in a high-stakes dispute over a different patent.
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/23/science/moderna-covid-vaccine-patent-nih.html
I think what is being mentioned, $710 million dollars paid to government agencies between late 2021 through 2023, largely a result of COVID vaccines I assume IS new information.
That is new.
That people in NIH and other branches like it get royalties is not new to anyone who pays attention, but that amount in that time probably due to COVID royalties...is.
btt
Disgraceful, absolutely!
Confiscate everything they accepted and then fine them for half their assets
Good place to start the hangings.
safe and effective...
Thank you.
Wow, but there are some gems in this article.
“The N.I.H. said its scientists, some of whom had been collaborating for years with Moderna, had helped to design that sequence. Moderna also received nearly $10 billion in taxpayer funding to develop and test the vaccine, and to provide doses to the federal government.”
“But even as the fight over the sequence attracted public attention, including suggestions from the N.I.H. that it might consider legal action, another standoff played out largely in private, this one concerning the chemical tweak that was the subject of the payments announced on Thursday.
That technique was integral to a number of coronavirus vaccines, including Moderna’s, scientists said. It entailed changing the mRNA code within the vaccines so that they would help people generate an immune response to the version of spike proteins present on the surface of the coronavirus before they fused with human cells.”
“Under the agreement with Moderna, the company made what it described as a $400 million “catch-up payment” to the N.I.H. “
Confiscate the $710M and their pensions to pay for vax injuries. Fire them if they aren’t already.
