NIH director confirms agency hid early COVID genes at request of Chinese scientists

By Steven Nelson

National Institutes of Health acting director Lawrence Tabak confirmed to lawmakers Wednesday that US health officials concealed early genomic sequences of COVID-19 at the request of Chinese scientists — but insisted the data remains on file.

Tabak told a House Appropriations subcommittee that the NIH “eliminated from public view” the data from the pandemic epicenter in Wuhan, China, before adding that researchers can still access it via an archaic “tape drive.”

Vanity Fair recently reported that the information was hidden in response to a request from Chinese scientists, despite potentially resolving whether the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology or passed naturally from animals to humans.

Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) asked Tabek to explain why US officials would comply with such a request.

Nice of them to finally confirm who they work for and that it isn't the American people. Everyone at the top of NIH that had a hand in this needs to fired with prejudice. Oh I guess the guy that was the head of NIH at the time, appointed by Barry resigned at the end of 2022, fine strip him of his ginormous pension for acting against the good of the American people.

Fauci, Collins Shared In ‘Secret’ NIH ‘Royalties’ Totaling $350M: Watchdog Report



Anthony Fauci, Francis Collins and other bigwigs at the National Institutes of Health reaped more than $350 million in secretive “royalty” payments from drug companies and other third parties over a 10-year period, according to an explosive new report from a watchdog organization.

The report from OpenTheBooks.com said the royalty payments, including at least 23 to Fauci and 14 to his former boss, Collins, were paid out between 2010 and 2020. Government scientists got the payments for being credited as “co-inventors” of various treatments and pharmaceutical products, according to the report.

“Because those payments enrich the agency and its scientists, each and every royalty payment could be a potential conflict of interest and needs disclosure,” OpenTheBooks.com co-founder and CEO Adam Andrzejewski wrote. “NIH is a revolving door of tens of billions of dollars in government grant-making coupled with hundreds of millions of dollars in private – non-transparent – royalty payments.”...

BOMBSHELL: Dr. Fauci and His Cronies Took Tens of Millions in Secret Payoffs

(BLP) – Special payouts from Big Pharma over the past ten years to Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Francis Collins and other top officials with the National Institutes of Health are raising major ethical questions from members of Congress.

Rep. John Moolenaar (R-MI) raised the subject during a recent hearing with current acting NIH director Dr. Lawrence Tabak. He noted that corporations doling out tens of millions in payoffs were also receiving federal grants from agencies which employed the individuals who they were bribing, creating a massive conflict of interest.

“The idea that people get a financial benefit from certain research that’s been done and grants that were awarded, that is, to me, the height of the appearance of a conflict of interest,” Moolenaar said.

So what?  Aren't bribes, kickbacks, "honoraria," extortion, payola, palm greasing, etc. just part of a politician's/agency head's daily routine in the District of Corruption?
