Making the case for federal public health work

Project 2025 vs. The Public’s Health, Part III from Dr. Paul Offit’s Beyond the Noise “discusses Project 2025 and its notion that the NIH has a monopoly on directing scientific research that should be broken.” (Source)

Dr. Offit writes,

The authors of Project 2025 state, “Funding for scientific research should not be controlled by a small group of highly paid and unaccountable insiders at the NIH, many of whom stay in power for decades. The NIH monopoly on directing research should be broken…More recently, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Anthony Fauci’s division of the NIH, owns half of the patent for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and several NIH employees receive [annual royalties] from Moderna vaccine sales…That would be the same experimental mRNA vaccine that the CDC now wants to force on children, who are at little to no risk from COVID-19 but at great risk from public health officials.” (For the record, far from “little to no risk,” about 1,700 children in the United States have died from COVID-19.)
