From Google-
“Christine Grady served as the head (Chief) of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center from 2012 to 2025”

Does Jodi Ernst mention the head of NIH during this hearing that could have taken place in 2020?

No.

Why not?

Ernst: Fauci approved COVID research putting fetal body parts in mice
By Josh Christenson
WASHINGTON — Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) has revealed that former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci approved the use of “aborted baby body parts in mice research.”

“NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers, thymus and chunks of human fetal lung that they got from aborted, almost five-month-old human babies,” explained Ernst. “They put those parts in their research mice. They disgustingly named them ‘BLT-L’ mice, and wrote they had created a ‘sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.’”

“Get it folks? BLT, a BLT sandwich,” Ernst emphasized. “Thankfully, the current NIH director has said no more of this. Dr. Fauci, yes or no? Do you think that human aborted parts should be put into mice for coronavirus research?”

Do you think that human aborted parts should be put into mice for coronavirus research?

Did he actually plead the 5th on answering that question - a question merely asking his opinion?

This is against the law in the USA.
The reason it was moved to China and Ukraine.

These types of threads bring back all of the embryonic stem cell hype, and stem cell hype in general.

It's been over 25 years since the initial papers promising renewal of heart muscle with stem cells were published, but we have no substantive established therapies based upon this work. 25 years, and billions of dollars (at least) was spent on the development of such therapies - a large amount of that from federal taxpayer dollars.

Many of these ‘grow a brain from circulating stem cells’ etc. claims were all over the media outlets, and a fair number of scientists became celebrities from this research. Then came the call for a retraction of 31 papers from a Harvard lab, and the cumulative realization that like most science there wasn't going to be a eureka moment and much more needed to be done and much more learned before they hype ever led to great therapies.

That said, it didn't stop the ‘scientists’, pro-abortion activists, and politicians from telling everyone that restricting this work and pushing for more deliberative science would steal great impending therapies and cures from the world.

There's an important lesson to be learned from this - including that ‘celebrity’ and scientist are incompatible terms.

Joni Ernst must be up for re-election. She’s like a Groundhog that pops her head up once a year. Per her voting record she is 100% loyal to the RINOs, but she’s about the best that Iowa can do, all things considered.

That said, PING to Morgana.

It’s NOT aborted baby parts. Dead tissue serves no purpose. It’s live birthed baby parts harvested from living children on ice.

That was my number one reason for refusing the shot. The last person I want to piss off is God.

I remember reading years ago about the Covid shot being from an aborted baby in Australia. They used excuses that were replicated over and over. Makes no difference to me. It was still an aborted baby.

Joni is quitting in January. The GOP nominee is Ashley Hinson.
