Washington Free Beacon ^ | August 8, 2016 | Elizabeth Harrington

the Washington Free Beacon has uncovered $49,577,386 worth of questionable NIH studies since the Zika epidemic began in the beginning of 2015.

The projects include everything from studying how drunk men look at women to teaching 11-year-old Kenyans how to use condoms.

Many of the studies involve behavioral research into obesity, including the now $3,531,925 study into why a majority of lesbians are obese while gay men generally are not, which concluded that gay men have a “greater desire for toned muscles” than straight men. The project is slated to receive additional funding this year.

The agency spent $1,679,030 on an exercise program for refugees, which sends "community partners" into mosques to talk about physical activity.

And what do you want to bet that some of that money went to providing ice cream and chocolate to obese lesbians?
