As Fauci testifies in front of a Congressional committee, I figured I'd show you this little bitty piece of news right here: NIH scientists made $710 million in royalties during the pandemic.

New data from the National Institutes of Health reveal the agency and its scientists collected $710 million in royalties during the pandemic, from late 2021 through 2023. These are payments made by private companies, like pharmaceuticals, to license medical innovations from government scientists.

Almost all that cash โ€” $690 million โ€” went to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and 260 of its scientists.

$710 million in royalties!!

That's more than double the combined royalties paid out to the NIH between 2009 and 2021.

Here are the details:

OpenTheBooks.com, was forced to sue to uncover the royalties paid from September 2009 to October 2021, which amounted to $325 million over 56,000 transactions.

We had to sue a second time, with Judicial Watch as our counsel, to pry open this new release.

Payments skyrocketed during the pandemic era: Those years saw more than double the amount of cash flow to NIH from the private sector, compared to the prior 12 combined. All told, it's $1.036 billion.

It's unclear if any of the COVID vaccine royalties from Pfizer and Moderna, the latter of which settled with NIH by agreeing to pay $400 million, is even included in these new numbers. NIH isn't saying.

$400 MILLION from Moderna and Pfizer alone!!

And the corporate-government alliance wants so bad to hide it from us, we don't know if we add that $400M to the $710M above or if that's included in the number already.

Please tell me more about how we live in a free country and we must "preserve our democracy"!!

We don't have a democracy. We don't have a republic. We have a corporatocracy. And it will remain so until we do something about it.
