This one is interesting for what wasn’t done!
HHS Office of the Inspector General did an audit on the NIH and their foreign grants, and the results were NOT good…
NIH did not ensure that NIH foreign grant recipients completed and submitted required annual audit reports. NIH did not receive 81 of the 109 annual audit reports for foreign grant recipients that met the requirements for an audit and for which NIH provided the majority of HHS funding. As a result, NIH did not have information needed from the 81 annual audit reports to effectively monitor these foreign grant recipients for potential findings or recommendations noted in the audit reports. Of the 28 audit reports received by NIH, 18 did not contain any information that indicated a need for further NIH monitoring or corrective action on the part of the foreign grant recipient, and 10 contained findings that required follow-up actions by NIH and the foreign grant recipient. However, for 7 of the 10 audit reports that required follow-up actions, NIH did not follow up with a management decision letter or did not timely issue the letter.

Of note, there is no list of either the grantees or the type of research being done… Just that they were ‘foreign’…
One wonders if they will ever get the answers…
Welll now, anybody betting on how many of our borrowed dollars wound up in some US politicians or government “officials” pocket? What? No takers??
The lies and corruption from top to bottom in washington and it’s surrounding swamp are staggering.
Even Hercules diverting a river couldn’t fix it.
Roger- No bet…
There will be no truth coming out of the NIH or Fauchi’s mouth. All the government agencies and those running them know when confronted is to lie, lie, lie. That is the mantra from the President thru the Congress and Senate and every agency. Lie upon lie upon lie!
John- Sadly, I can’t disagree.
Cut the funding to NIH completely.
