Chan Zuckerberg Institute doesn't produce much actual research it's mostly fancy dinners, global travel for congresses and conferences and big opulent parties. They actually got in trouble in the building with the landlord for too many parties, there was a problem drunken individuals peeing in the hallways when they had Justin Bieber and other celebs on site (seriously).

Purely anecdata but I know many people who have had their work funded through CZI. And no, this wasn't drunken parties.

Lol cool anecdote. Guess karma for hating on billionaires is more important than saving lives.
