LOL: Politico Is So Sad That Anthony Fauci's Wife and His Other Allies Just Got Fired from NIH

As Black Conservative Perspective would say, they're all boo-hoo whinin' and cryin'.

As an anti-vaccine activist, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. spent years attacking Anthony Fauci and sowing doubts about the successful effort he led to develop a Covid vaccine.
As HHS secretary, he's exacting his revenge.
Kennedy on Tuesday fired Fauci's wife, Christine Grady, and reassigned at least three of Fauci's longtime colleagues at the National Institutes of Health, as part of a purge of senior officials involved in the government's development and distribution of the Covid vaccine, eight people familiar with the matter said.

BRB, organizing a Giggle Party

...
The removals, which came amid a mass reduction in force across the health department, effectively gutted leadership at the NIH's infectious disease office and key parts of the Food and Drug Administration, stunning agency employees and leaving the broader public health community in disbelief.
"It's like a Fauci fixation," said Dr. Eric Topol, a public health expert and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute. "So many of these people are just dedicated, they really want to do good and now they're losing their jobs senselessly."
POLITICO spoke to 11 people for this story, many of whom were granted anonymity for fear of retribution.

LOL. So brave.

Several NIH leaders were told to accept reassignment to outposts in states like Alaska or leave the federal government altogether, according to three people familiar with the matter. One of them was Jeanne Marrazzo, who succeeded Fauci at NIAID.
...
In a post on X, Kennedy called the firings a "difficult moment" but insisted that HHS needed an overhaul.
"The reality is clear: what we've been doing isn't working," he wrote. "HHS needs to be recalibrated to emphasize prevention, not just sick care."
...
Peter Stein, who heads the FDA Office of New Drugs that aided work on Covid vaccines and treatments, was fired on Tuesday amid a gutting of his office's policy shop. His removal came just days after Kennedy and new FDA Commissioner Marty Makary agreed to force out top vaccine regulator Peter Marks, who played a central role in creating the Operation Warp Speed initiative that delivered the Covid vaccine in record time. Marks' deputy, Julie Tierney, was also put on leave on Tuesday.
The abrupt house-cleaning -- delivered to officials in early-morning messages -- generated near-universal dismay across the public health landscape on Tuesday. And while Kennedy and his allies have argued that the overhaul is necessary to restore trust in HHS, the removals fueled suspicion among Fauci's supporters that Kennedy was using the mass firings to rid the department of top Covid-era scientists and others close to Fauci.

Really? Is that your suspicion?

In addition to purging leadership at NIH and FDA, Kennedy ordered cuts to a range of divisions focused on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases -- the area where Fauci first gained prominence as a leader of the government's response to the AIDS epidemic. The moves follow a crackdown already underway on grants related to Covid and vaccine hesitancy.
...
Makary and new NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya are also Fauci critics who gained prominence as opponents of the government's Covid response, with Bhattacharya at one point calling Fauci's role during Covid a "propaganda campaign." They have both vowed to overhaul the agencies and refocus public health priorities.
In a message to NIH staff on Tuesday, Bhattacharya wrote that he would "foster an environment where varied perspectives are valued and encouraged at NIH and the broader scientific community" -- a pointed contrast to his accusations that Fauci and his allies shut down dissent at the agency.
...
"This is the darkest day that I've had in 50 years of public health," said Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist and director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, who called reassigning Marrazzo and others to far-flung locales "almost a way of punishing them for what they have done."

Cry moar, commie thugs and gaslighters.

Thanks to Jay in PA.

It's about fucking time. HIV is an almost entirely preventable disease mostly localized in a small segment of the population. But it was localized in one of the most preferred populations in all of human history -- homosexuals -- and therefore of course we had to spend trillions on it.

All homos had to do to effectively eradicate HIV on their own was stop engaging in violent group sex with 20 fags a night, without any protection whatsoever. But that was too much to ask. Even today, homos are still spreading HIV.

Imagine if all the HIV money went to diseases like cancer and heart disease, how much better treatments for those would be today. I hope Fauci gets fucked in the ass by Satan for all eternity.

30 Hey, remember a few months back when it came out that the top Covid doc in NYC was going to ecstasy parties with his wife that may or may not have been full blown orgies during the height of covid when he personally pushed to lock everything down and didn't allow people to have funerals for their loved ones, or allow old people in nursing homes to see their families before they died?

Strange how the people who pushed these policies didn't seem to act like it was a life or death situation.

Kind of like Obama decrying sea levels rising for years than retiring to a mansion on the ocean.

You have a decent risk, if someone with a decent viral load of HIV, puts their weener in your butt.

Doesn't matter what gender the butt is. Likewise, if you put your weener in a butt that has a decent viral load of HIV, your chance of getting infected is incredibly low.

It was always about where you put semen into your body, and how much virus was in that semen.

The part that makes this even more infuriating is that STDs transmit more slowly and with intent.

If you segregated gay men with AIDS you likely would severely reduce the spread of AIDS, especially for gay men.

The clot shot marginally increased your risk of getting COVID so sending clot shot resisters to concentration camps would likely slightly increase the spread of COVID.

They conveniently omit that the response was a clusterfuck because they refused to actually address the primary population affected in favor of politically correct bullshit that AIDS affected everyone equally.

124 IIRC, at one time the money spent on AIDS was more than all other diseases combine. For a disease that killed fewer annually than male breast cancer.

I recall during the AIDS hysteria that a couple of medical researchers authored an article in the Wall Street Journal noting that they were trying to find treatments for schizophrenia, a terrible, terrible disease that affects millions of people, and they were getting their Federal funding cut off.

Meanwhile, there was infinite Federal money available to study AIDS-related dementia, a condition that only affected terminal AIDS patients in the last few months of their lives.

Yup. That was always an op to scare straights into fearing the disease -- and it worked for a while, especially among women -- to justify spending more money on it than all other diseases combined.

You will also be most surely shocked to learn, if you don't already, that Fauci initially said HIV was not likely to spread to straights. He then quickly did a 180 and said "sure, of course HIV will spread to straights, so send us trillions!"

170 One of the FNM mouthpieces accidentally let slip that more then half of COVID deaths had a co-morbidity.

Two main factors in COVID deaths:

1) Be over 80.

2) Be extremely fat.

Your chances of dying from COVID were minimal without one of those two factors.

Amusing that they banned exercising outdoors and closed health clubs as an anti-COVID measure.

Two main factors in COVID deaths:

1) Be over 80.

2) Be extremely fat.

When people noticed that contrary to FNM reporting kids faced little risk from COVID the FNM went into overdrive trying to find a kid that died from COVID.

They finally found one and reported that he had no comorbidities. Then one FNM outlet mistakenly included a picture taken shortly before his dead where he was more then 300 lbs.

180 You will also be most surely shocked to learn, if you don't already, that Fauci initially said HIV was not likely to spread to straights. He then quickly did a 180 and said "sure, of course HIV will spread to straights, so send us trillions!"

Straights could get AIDS, but only those straights injecting IV drugs.

Yeah, lying about the risk to heterosexuals was the first step in destroying the reputation of the public health profession.

No one thought it was a good idea for the patients to be intubated.

They only did it to protect hospital staff from the COVID patients' exhaling COVID particles in their faces.

They knew putting sick people in a medically induced coma, on a respirator, was going to kill many of them.

260 A good 20-30 years ago, there was some study about second hand smoke conducted on cocktail waitresses, showing that they all had elevated levels of nicotine and cancer rates etc.

I don't know where they got the 3 cocktail waitresses nationwide who didn't smoke/drink/do drugs. Must have been those Amish cocktail waitresses....

Most second hand smoke studies are garbage - and causality of second hand smoke has never been proven. If you have pre-existing breathing problems, like asthma, there could be problems. Cancer was not one of them.

Who files the patent is irrelevant financially. The question is who is the assignee (i.e., owner) of the patent. The government will be an assignee (there may be more than one) if it funded the research, unless the government assigns its rights to the grantee.

Not quite sure - but in MOST cases the reason that government (or foundations like LLS or JDF) start pumping money into drug research is when investigational products that show promise reach a point in their patent life where its not financially beneficial to the company to continue the drug trials/research.
Thus the government breathes life back into compounds that might otherwise never see the light of day again.
