Francis Collins, NIH Director, Resigns After Gain-of-Function Falsehood Exposed

Paul Bois 4 Oct 2021

Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced his resignation on Tuesday, just weeks after documents exposed that he made “untruthful” comments about U.S. federal funding of gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“It has been an incredible privilege to lead this great agency for more than a decade,” Collins said in a statement posted at the NIH website.

I love this agency and its people so deeply that the decision to step down was a difficult one, done in close counsel with my wife, Diane Baker, and my family. I am proud of all we’ve accomplished. I fundamentally believe, however, that no single person should serve in the position too long, and that it’s time to bring in a new scientist to lead the NIH into the future. I’m most grateful and proud of the NIH staff and the scientific community, whose extraordinary commitment to lifesaving research delivers hope to the American people and the world every day.

Collins is 71 and has been Director of the NIH for some 12 years. So without more direct evidence, the tie to the gain-of-function research funding "revelation" is tenuous.

Every manglement person in the NIH should read and reflect on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
