EXCLUSIVE: Chip Roy Introduces Bill To Demolish Agency Fauci Led For Decades
Story by Adam Pack • 19h
Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy reintroduced legislation Friday to take a sledgehammer to the federal health agency Dr. Anthony Fauci led for nearly four decades.
Roy’s NIH Reform Act would reorganize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) by abolishing the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and splitting the agency into three separate research entities, according to background on the bill shared exclusively with the Daily Caller News Foundation. The NIAID operates under the umbrella of the NIH and has previously funded high-risk gain-of-function research, some of which was exported to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The bill is modeled on steps Congress took to rein in the FBI following J. Edgar Hoover’s decades-long tenure and would prevent another bureaucrat like Fauci from operating a federal health agency without rigorous congressional oversight. The directors of each newly-created institute would be appointed by the president, subject to Senate confirmation and restricted to two five-year terms, according to background information on the bill.
