The vast majority of life sciences is funded by NIH. This is one reason why the nonstop "revelations" of crazy projects funded by gasp Anthony Fauci are really meaningless. NIH doles out an enormous bucket of cash year after year for all sorts of research.

I'm not really aware of any of those other than the gain of function research on bat coronaviruses by EcoHealth Alliance, which was only controversial beacause Fauci denied it in front of Congress and was technically not supposed to happen due to Obama's moratorium. What are the other revelations are you talking about?

Not gp, but there was another one that made the rounds about dogs being subjected to being bitten by desert insects. Iirc It turned out that this wasn't funded by the nih?
