Fauci & Collins Cashed In on Covid: Records Show 58 NIH Royalty Payments Worth $325M

Newly discovered records have exposed the staggering profits that were reaped in the form of royalty checks on the back of the Covid pandemic.

The records show that the former heads of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) massively cashed in from the pandemic.

Former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and former NIAID Director Dr. Tony Fauci reportedly received 58 royalty payments between them from companies to license their COVID-19 shots for public use.

The injections were also developed by private pharmaceutical companies using American taxpayer money.

Fauci and Collins both heavily profited through royalties from the continuing payments that arrived in their bank accounts throughout the “pandemic.”

Transparency watchdog OpenTheBooks has published more than 1,500 pages of unredacted records this week.

The documents show which companies paid Fauci and Collins for their inventions.

The records were obtained through a mostly successful probe using the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The NIH fought tooth and nail to stop the FOIA requests from being fulfilled. ...

The only thing we do not know is the individual amounts for each payment and its corresponding licenses, which are not listed in the records.

Fauci personally received 37 payments from three companies between 2010 and 2021. ...

Fauci also took in 14 payments from Ancell Corp., which produces immunology tolls, as well as eight payments from Chiron Corp., which was acquired by Novartis in 2006. ...

“Four payments to Collins came from Quest Diagnostics’ Specialty Laboratories, which provides biological testing services; four from Ionis Pharmaceuticals, originally named ISIS, known for RNA-targeted therapeutics; and one from Progeria Research Foundation, a nonprofit specializing in research for the congenital disorder,” explains Just the News.

i actually think the sourcing is a bit lacking and the manner in which is is presented a somewhat misleading and so the numbers are suspect and do not really jibe, but it does raise an important issue:

the NIH is a thieves forest where the public money they take from your taxes is used to fund research, but when the research proves fruitful the royalty payments therefrom often go not to the agency but to the individual staffers who were involved.

not only are they making out like bandits, but they have no obligation to report these royalties or their amounts publicly or even to congress.

there is zero oversight and this makes the insider trading rules in the house and senate look positively benign.

it’s a helluva grift.

As COVID vaccine patent dispute drags on, Moderna forks over $400M to NIH

Vaccine-maker Moderna has forked over $400 million to the National Institutes of Health for using a molecular stabilizing technique borrowed from government and academic researchers in its mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine—which the company made roughly $36 billion selling amid the deadly pandemic, according to The New York Times.

Moderna mentioned the payment in the company's latest earnings report, which described the sum as a "catch-up payment" negotiated with the NIH in December as part of a new royalty-bearing license agreement. The agreement will also grant the NIH "low single-digit royalties on future COVID-19 vaccine sales." The company expects to make around $5 billion in COVID-19 vaccine sales in 2023. ...

At the time, then-NIH director Francis Collins told Reuters that the NIH had spent time trying to resolve the dispute amicably with Moderna but had failed. "I think Moderna has made a serious mistake here in not providing the kind of co-inventorship credit to people who played a major role in the development of the vaccine that they're now making a fair amount of money off of," Collins said.

"But we are not done," he added. "Clearly this is something that legal authorities are going to have to figure out." A spokesperson for Collins later clarified to the Times that by "legal authorities," Collins meant government lawyers.

Dr. Fauci, remember when this little lilliputian told us that the best, the optimal vaccine protection is to become infected, natural exposure infection? Recall this? Naturally? Then why COVID change?

"If she got the flu for 14 days she is protected as anybody can be for the best protection or vaccination is to get infected yourself" so who paid him, what did he get from Pfizer & Moderna?

@SpartaJustice

Fauci made sure that none of those kids had guardians which is illegal and then he hid what he was doing to the board. Fauci was disposing of the corpses of these children who died in illegal experiments. These are children who had no parents, nobody was there to protect them.

It's clear that some or all omicron variants were synthesised in a laboratory from which they were somehow released, as part of a deliberate program. Coupled with the lack of synonymous mutations in other variants, this suggests that all variants described after the original Wuhan strain have artificial origins.

It's anyone's guess what the purpose of that experiment might be.

The authors suggest the variants they have found are indeed part of an experiment to characterize the spike protein and the effects of mutations on the virus' behaviour:

Indeed, the lack of findings to date that many of the various mutations seen, especially in the early variants, are indeed associated with increased viral infection (van Dorp et al, 2020) supports the hypothesis that each variant was artificially synthesized to identify the amino acids of the S protein responsible for infectivity and pathogenicity.

Conclusion: this changes everything
If the observations and inferences in this paper are correct - and barring a pure hoax, involving fraudulent depositions to sequence databases, they certainly seem to be - then they provide indisputable evidence that the entire history of SARS-CoV2, at least subsequent to the emergence of the original strain, is artificial.

Someone, somewhere, really is doing all this deliberately.

CIA Official Questioned Over Wuhan Cover-Up Took Job at U.S.-China Consulting Firm

The claim that the CIA used bribes to bury findings supporting a COVID lab leak brings scrutiny of an influential D.C. consulting firm filled with former intelligence officials.




Last week, lawmakers in Congress probing the origins of the coronavirus pandemic revealed that they had heard testimony from a new whistleblower, reportedly “presents as a highly credible senior-level CIA officer,” who claimed that CIA leadership had suppressed an assessment that COVID-19 came from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

According to the whistleblower, six of seven CIA officers researching the outbreak of COVID-19 found evidence to make a "low confidence assessment" of origin from the Wuhan lab. But a senior official allegedly helped muddy the waters and used financial incentives to persuade the officers against the lab assessment, ensuring that the CIA did not blame China.

The lawmakers requested that CIA chief operating officer Andrew Makridis, who coordinated the agency’s response to the pandemic until retiring last year, participate in a voluntary interview with congressional investigators. Makridis, the whistleblower claimed, “played a central role in its formation and eventual conclusion that the CIA was unable to determine" the origins of COVID-19. The congressional letter makes clear that Makridis could soon face a subpoena.

While the source of the virus is still unclear, growing evidence suggests that COVID-19 first emerged at the Wuhan lab and escaped under subpar biosafety standards. Many fear that such a conclusion will further harm U.S. ties to China, and potentially disrupt the $800 billion in trade relations between the two countries.

Makridis, notably, left the CIA to pass through the revolving door into a Washington, D.C. business that monetizes the nexus of U.S.-China relations. He now serves as a senior advisor to Beacon Global Strategies, a firm that helps corporate clients navigate delicate national security concerns, particularly surrounding China.

Beacon Global Strategies, founded by a bipartisan group of officials from the CIA, Defense Department, and House Intelligence Committee, maintains high-level contacts throughout the U.S. government and regularly speaks with national security agencies, information that it uses to help clients understand the geopolitical and regulatory landscape.

The firm, now in its tenth year of operation, was founded with seed investment money from Claude Fontheim, a lobbyist who spent two decades representing the U.S.-China Exchange Foundation, a pro-China influence group. Beacon Global Strategies has grown rapidly by advertising its unique insight into U.S. and China policy.

Although the company is not registered as a lobbying firm, officials at Beacon Global Strategies have worked to influence China-related policy.

In 2019, Jeffrey Kupfer, while serving as an adviser to Beacon Global Strategies, directly pressed the Trump administration against a “proposed plan to once again increase tariffs up to 25 percent on Chinese products,” arguing that such tariffs would result in retaliatory trade penalties on American liquified natural gas exports.

That year, Beacon Global Strategies was also hired by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to push back against a Trump administration plan to unwind a partnership that AMD had forged with a Chinese firm to produce state-of-the-art computer chip technology. The administration raised national security concerns over the fact that AMD’s partner worked closely with the Chinese military. The efforts by Beacon Global Strategies to “make peace,” as the Wall Street Journal reported, between AMD and the Trump administration, failed. The U.S. Commerce Department eventually sanctioned AMD’s partner, effectively killing the deal, but not before vital technology had already been transferred to the Chinese.

We’re making slow progress. The UK Telegraph ran a story yesterday headlined, “China lab suspected of Covid leak stripped of US funding for violating biosafety rules.” The sub-headline explained, “Wuhan Institute of Virology broke rules with experiments that increased viral activity more than tenfold, says health department.”

Yes, they are talking about that infamous little (big) shop of horrors, the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).



Finally! The Department of Health and Human Services announced last week it was ‘debarring’ the WIV, after evidence proved WIV scientists were engaging in gain of function research by inserting new spike proteins into four different bat coronaviruses. Gosh, all those technical words sound so familiar.

Sadly, ‘debarring’ does not mean “nuked from orbit” or even ” “burned to the ground and salted the earth,” it just means that WIV will be ineligible to receive any U.S. government grants, and it prohibits U.S. scientists from collaborating with WIV scientists.

According to an HHS memo, as late as 2019, the WIV’s problematic coronavirus experiments resulted in at least one chimeric virus that killed 75 percent of infected humanized mice within two weeks, and increased viral activity more than tenfold, in clear violation of government grant guidelines. In spite of that evidence, many grant-grabbing U.S. scientists continue insisting that covid coincidentally made its planetary debut five miles away at a super-low-tech farmer’s market.

But I digress.

Chinese authorities have forbidden any WIV investigation providing access to laboratories, research notebooks, or internal databases. Our mega-funded U.S. health agencies tried super hard to find out, too. The HHS’s memo even said the NIH tried to call the lab several times to ask questions but nobody called them back. Plus, HHS even “tried to contact WIV by fax and email.”

Tough customers, the Chinese, ignoring faxes like that.

Ominously, HHS’s memo also warned there’s no reason to think the WIV has stopped doing all that gain-of-function research, saying: “There is risk that WIV not only previously violated, but is currently violating, and will continue to violate, protocols of the National Institutes of Health on biosafety.”

There is risk? You don’t say. It only took three years for that risk to occur to the geniuses in the federal government.

Oh well. Debarment is a temporary measure and usually lasts three years, but we’ll see what happens this time. The fickle winds of politics never stop blowing, do they? It’s only the wind’s direction that changes.

Still, it’s progress and I will take it. We will keep the drums beating.

More allegations casting an even darker cloud of distrust over the efforts to uncover the origins of COVID-19. Brad Wenstrup, Chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, recently raised reports from whistleblowers that Dr. Anthony Fauci made unusual visits to the CIA Headquarters, and that he was there to "influence" their investigation into the genesis of the virus.

This ties in nicely with the accusations involving six CIA analysts who were allegedly offered significant remuneration to ensure an inconclusive result. The spotlight intensifies on Dr. Fauci with the surfacing of another intriguing aspect of the "Proximal Origin" paper's drafting process, which aimed to debunk the lab leak theory.

This string of unsettling revelations stoke fears of a false narrative being promoted by federal government agencies about the origin of COVID-19. Chairman Wenstrup is arduously seeking all related documents and communications concerning Dr. Fauci's access to CIA facilities and its personnel. The Select Subcommittee has also requested Brett Rowland, a Special Agent, to provide a more detailed account of Dr. Fauci's suspected activities in connection with the CIA.

teflon tony goes to langley?

just when you thought you'd seen the bottom of the rabbithole

i am old enough to remember when “covid-19 escaped from a lab” was a “conspiracy theory.” to my own embarrassment, i initially suspected this was correct because using coronaviruses as a base for a bioweapon seemed like a poor choice and it was my presumption that this was the claim.

then i came across the whole peter daszak story and the wild and reckless GoF projects to work on various forms of vaccines and some truly crazy ideas about spreading hotwired covid to wild bat colonies. and everyone from ecohealth to peter hotez has their snouts in the trough.

this changed my mind and made “lab leak” look to me like by far the odds on (and frankly, near certain) choice. it also made an awful lot of people look like overt and deliberate liars not least of which was teflon tony himself. last i checked, perjury to congress is still a crime but hell, who knows these days?

the whole affair became one vast fox commission investigating the henhouse murders as the very people who funded and made this mess were empaneled to investigate it. it’s been a truly top to bottom whitewash from start to what seemed like the finish. ...

as many of you likely saw, a whistleblower came forward to discuss the fact that a number of CIA analysts appear to have been paid to change their takes on covid origins.



and now guess who looks to have been right in the middle of this imbroglio? oh yeah, the fauch-meister, faucharama, the fauch a ding ding: talking-point tony himself.

because this is totally normal, right? (bold mine)

According to information gathered by the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, played a role in the Central Intelligence Agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19. The information provided suggests that Dr. Fauci was escorted into Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters—without a record of entry—and participated in the analysis to “influence” the Agency’s review.

... this certainly has some interesting dovetails into “the great pivot” where fauci and numerous others all suddenly went from “it’s fine, go on a cruise, masks are silly, go live your life” to the crazed and evidence free covidian stances of lock down, mask up, and jab, jab, jab that they instantly adopted upon the arrival of debbie birx to the white house (after being sent not by health agencies, but by the national security advisor.)

and there certainly was an awful lot of poorly explained and deeply unusual military involvement in and around covid.

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic just tweeted that it has obtained evidence that Dr. Fauci made an unregistered visit to the CIA’s headquarters to “influence” the intelligence agency’s investigation on the origin of SARS-CoV-2. If this allegation proves to be true, it will add to the mounting evidence that Fauci and his virology cronies performed the greatest act of fraudulent concealment in human history.

Dr. Anthony Fauci made at least one secret visit to the Central Intelligence Agency’s headquarters in McLean, Virginia to “influence” the agency as it tried to figure out if Sars-Cov-2 had leaked from a Chinese lab.

That bombshell allegation came yesterday from the Congressional subcommittee examining the origins of and response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Fauci’s hidden efforts in 2020 to discourage scientists from examining if the risky Chinese “gain-of-function” research he supported led to the pandemic have been extensively documented. Now the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic claims it has evidence he tried to steer the investigations inside the intelligence community too. ...

The whistleblower reported the CIA had set up a seven-person team to examine the origins of Sars-Cov-2. Six analysts concluded, albeit with low confidence, that the virus had “originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.” But the team’s senior officer disagreed, according to Wenstrup’s earlier letter.

The senior officer then paid the junior team members to “change their position,” the whistleblower claimed. Ultimately, the CIA said it could not “determine the precise origin of the COVID-19 pandemic,” according to a government report released in June.

"Dr. Fauci was escorted into CIA headquarters... without a record to entry to participate in the analysis to "influence" the (CIA) Agency's review..."

- House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic

Wow! So, basically Fauci impeded a CIA investigation or helped in a CIA cover-up because of the crimes he committed. That is clear because the CIA reported early on that the virus was not man-made and a DNI report generated about the origins of the virus also claimed it was most likely not man-made - that the virus jumped from animals to humans naturally in the wild. This is false. Most likely, Fauci knew and lied to the CIA. Either that, or the CIA lied and Fauci assisting the CIA in generating that lie.

Either way, Fauci must be prosecuted. There must by an independent inquiry with a special prosecutor - separate from the DOJ. Congress must authorize a special prosecutor now and continue on with their own investigations. It is time for a prosecutor to step in, so charges can be filed.

The Big Story
A CIA whistleblower told a House subcommittee investigating the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the U.S. National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases who led the government response to the pandemic, had been “escorted” into CIA headquarters without making a record of his entry before he attempted to “influence” the agency’s conclusion about the origin of the virus. The date of his visit is not yet known. The head of the House committee, Rep. Brad Wenstrup, wrote in a letter on Tuesday to the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services that the whistleblower’s testimony “lends credence to heightened concerns about the promotion of a false COVID-19 origins narrative by multiple federal government agencies.”

According to a new report on Thursday from Substack newsletter “Public,” the whistleblower, who was a former senior-level officer in the CIA, said that Fauci had come to “promote the natural origin of the virus.” Subsequent government documents obtained in public record requests show that Fauci was at that time aware that funding he’d approved for viral research studies at the Wuhan Institute of Virology could have contributed to the gain-of-function research responsible for the lab leak of the virus.

“He knew what was going on. I mean, you see all the redacted documents that are coming out. He was covering his ass and he was trying to do it with the Intel community,” the whistleblower told “Public.” “He came multiple times and he was treated like a rock star by the Weapons and Counter Proliferation Mission Center.”

The whistleblower said that following Fauci’s visit, the agency’s assessment that the virus originated in a lab leak was changed to “unknown origin.” Analysts who altered their assessment received cash bonuses and Exceptional Performance awards.

https://public.substack.com/p/fauci-diverted-us-government-away

Previous reporting already showed that Fauci “prompted” the “Proximal Origin” paper, according to its authors. Lead author Kristian Andersen expressed grave doubts about the natural origin theory even months after Nature Medicine published the paper. And they described themselves as pressured by “higher ups,” referring to individuals in the White House and other government agencies.

Now, the new information from multiple sources, including a CIA whistleblower, a senior government investigator, and a senior official, suggests a broad effort by Fauci to go agency by agency, from the White House to the State Department to the CIA, in an effort to steer government officials away from looking into the possibility that COVID-19 escaped from a lab. ...

Fauci had reasons to push scientists and intelligence analysts to believe the virus had a zoonotic origin since his agency had issued a grant to fund research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China.

The Wenstrup press release noted that the whistleblower’s information suggested Fauci was escorted in “without record of entry.” According to the CIA whistleblower, the CIA purposely did not “badge” Fauci in and out of the building so as to hide any record that he had been there.

“Fauci came to our building, to promote the natural origin of the virus,” the CIA whistleblower said. “He knew what was going on. I mean, you see all the redacted documents that are coming out. He was covering his ass and he was trying to do it with the Intel community… I know he came multiple times and he was treated like a rockstar by the Weapons and Counter Proliferation Mission Center. And, he pushed the Kristian Anderson paper.”

Takayuki Miyazawa is a professor and virologist at Kyoto University.

He is a pro-vaccine advocate, and has been pushing operations to reduce the transmission of coronavirus.

But he finally realized that the coronavirus was artificially created and that the governments had been taken over by evil people.

Why has Pfauci not yet been prosecuted for openly lying to Congress about his gain of function research in Wuhan?

Why has Pfauci not yet been prosecuted for openly lying to Congress about his gain of function research in Wuhan?

Nobody has the guts to criminally charge him.

...Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) first said that newly-obtained emails show Fauci immediately knew covid came from the Wuhan lab and then covered it up. "We now have emails that show saying that he knows it was gain-of-function, that the virus looked manipulated, and that he was worried that this came from the Wuhan lab," Paul explained.

Senator Paul also said new, difficult-to-get evidence proves Anthony Fauci personally shepherded the Wuhan gain-of-function research around a safety committee set up to prevent high-risk research. Paul said, “We also know that there was a safety committee that should have reviewed this and we know that Anthony Fauci went around the safety committee."

Rand Paul said he thinks this evidence “will bring down Anthony Fauci.”

We can hope! Like cockroaches, which can survive a nuclear attack, Fauci — a human cockroach who would even terrify Franz Kafka— has proven hard to squash, as he scurries between various bureaucratic assignments and speaking engagements. I pray I live long enough to see Fauci in an orange jumpsuit.
