The government health agency continues to withhold key details about the sources and allocations of the large streams of cash flowing to its scientists.
The National Institutes of Health and its scientists received an estimated $350 million in royalties from third-party payers between 2010 and 2020, according to an investigation by government transparency watchdog Open the Books.
The third-party payers are, according to the report, mostly pharmaceutical companies that credit NIH scientists as coinventors on various patents.
"Because those payments enrich the agency and its scientists, each and every royalty payment could be a potential conflict of interest and needs disclosure," writes Adam Andrzejewski, founder of OpentheBooks.com and the report's author.
NIH disclosed 22,100 royalty payments totaling nearly $134 million made to the government science agency and almost 1,700 of its scientists between roughly fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2015. The limited disclosures were made after OpentheBooks.com sued in federal court for access to the information.
The nonprofit is still awaiting records covering the 2015-2020 period.

Fauci is a leech.
Ripping off working scientists who actually made the discoveries and inventions.
Gee I would have thought such a thing would break about 500 federal laws. Apparently not.
On top of the exorbitant paychecks they get directly from the taxpayers!
Such a deal!!!
There was a time when people on the taxpayers payroll weren’t supposed to be able make a profit on stuff that they did while on the taxpayer’s largess.
And it’s our lives they are playing games with.

Can you imagine the medical advances we could have been capable of if only the corruption rife within the medical/pharma community didn’t exist?
Oh, he probably did, but when you can buy off or coerce by threats and intimidation to keep LE off your back, you can get away with whatever you want.
And we know the DS is not above offing anyone who gets in their way.
This reeks of corruption in so many ways. Unethical. Financial Conflict of Interest.

I can see the world’s largest set of class action suits for fraud. They lied. All of them.
