Senate Appropriations Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee Chair Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) at a hearing on Friday suggested that advocates for medical research become more politically active in requesting additional federal funding, the Baltimore Sun reports (Rockoff, Baltimore Sun, 5/20). The hearing included testimony from representatives of nearly two dozen disease advocacy groups.

The hearing included testimony from representatives of nearly two dozen disease advocacy groups.

These "advocady groups" are part of what's wrong with the National Institute of Health. They are the reason AIDS receives such a huge disproportion of funding in relation to the number of people who have the disease.

All they need to do is take funding from their "studies" of firearms as disease, and other non medical cr@p, and they'd have increased funding levels for studying real diseases, like bird flu, including man jihadie made or enhanced ones.

But they won't.
