Fauci and Other NIH "Scientists" Hid $710 MILLION in "Royalty" Payments from the Big Pharma Companies

Service a gigantic corporation and receive a bribe payment called "royalties."

During the pandemic, the American people started to feel that Big Government was very cozy with Big Pharma.

Now we know just how close they were.

New data from the National Institutes of Health reveal the agency and its scientists collected $710 million in royalties during the pandemic, from late 2021 through 2023. These are payments made by private companies, like pharmaceuticals, to license medical innovations from government scientists.


Almost all that cash -- $690 million -- went to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and 260 of its scientists.

Information about this vast private royalty complex is tightly held by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). My organization, OpenTheBooks.com, was forced to sue to uncover the royalties paid from September 2009 to October 2021, which amounted to $325 million over 56,000 transactions.

We had to sue a second time, with Judicial Watch as our counsel, to pry open this new release.

Payments skyrocketed during the pandemic era: Those years saw more than double the amount of cash flow to NIH from the private sector, compared to the prior 12 combined. All told, it's $1.036 billion.

It's unclear if any of the COVID vaccine royalties from Pfizer and Moderna, the latter of which settled with NIH by agreeing to pay $400 million, is even included in these new numbers. NIH isn't saying.

Of course they're not saying. Why should the nobles respond to the impertinent questions of the peasant scum?

The writer points out the recent scandal involving a Fauci henchmen deliberately misspelling words in order to avoid FOIA requests for communications with those keywords. David Morens also apparently delivered physical letters by courier to avoid having an searchable paper trail.


Fauci won't be able to misspell words to evade scrutiny or have folks physically courier messages -- just two of the FOIA-avoiding actions described by Dr. David Morens, a key Fauci deputy.

The NIH continues hiding the $710 million in payments from lawmakers and taxpayers with a right to know who's getting paid off by Big Pharma:


Characteristically, NIH is still redacting pieces of the data that would help us more easily connect therapeutics with their government-paid inventors. For example, they refuse to show us the amount of royalties paid to each individual scientist. So we still can't entirely follow the money.

I covered this earlier, but it bears underlining: Transcripts of Anthony "I Am Science" Fauci's closed-door testimony were released on Friday.

Science Itself admitted that it was making up all of its "scientific" Magic Spells against covid. At the time, of course, he claimed these Amulets and Talismans were all so completely supported by The Science (TM) that anyone questioning them was complicit in murder and must be denounced and censored.

So much to be outraged about, so little time. You would have thought that we're still close enough on the historical timeline to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially here in the United States, that the news from Friday would have resulted in atomic-level public reaction.

Due to the other outrage, the banana republic court verdict in lower Manhattan that was micromanaged and orchestrated by Joe Biden donor and trial judge Juan Merchan, the news about the pandemic culpability of Dr. Anthony Fauci barely registered a blip.

The top medical advisor in the White House in 2019-2023 at the height of the COVID outbreak, Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified in January in a closed-door session of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. The transcript of that hearing was released last Friday.

In short, the response to the pandemic - the masks, the social distancing, the separation of families, the 6-foot spacing signs graffitied all across the country, the plexiglass walls erected to wall people off from each other, the closed schools, all of it was bovine excrement. All of it. There wasn't a lick of science behind any of the policy. It was Anthony Fauci and his team making it up as they went along, and Fauci relishing the power trip in which he found himself.

In the National Review's write-up of the release of the transcript, here is Dr. Fauci just nonchalantly admitting that masking, in this case, child masking that caused so much damage to an entire generation of child development, wasn't based in any scientific data. Fauci said this.

During the second day of his testimony, Fauci made a similar concession about the lack of scientific evidence to support masking children to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

"Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?" a staffer asked Fauci.

"You know, I might have, Mitch, but I don't recall specifically that I did. I might have," Fauci replied.

Of the "six foot distancing" rule, Fauci said, "It [the six-foot rule] just sort of appeared, that six feet is going to be the distance."

He then claimed this was an "empiric decision that wasn't based on science."

But that's a lie, too. "Empiric" -- a shortened form of "empirical" -- means "based on observation."

Based on experience and observation rather than on systematic logic. Experienced physicians often use empirical reasoning to make diagnoses, based on having seen many cases over the years. Less-experienced physicians are more likely to use diagnostic guides and manuals.

There was never any observation supporting this "rule." Nor any "experience" with it -- it had not been tried before.

As Fauci says, "it just sort of appeared." Meaning, he just chose it on a whim, and then said I Am Science as he compelled people to follow his "science."

Former NIH director Francis Collins also admitted in closed-door testimony that he was aware of "no evidence" supporting this rule.

29 I used to work at a government lab. The policy then was that any royalties from patents on work done using taxpayer funding resulted in the authors splitting 20% of the royalties. This was done to motivate people to think in terms of practical applications, and it worked nicely. However, we had no control over policy, so couldn't influence whether we got royalties.

It's unbelievable that Fauci was both a policy maker and a beneficiary. This is a prima facie case of conflict of interest.

86 Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been over shadowed by task forces of scientists in
laboratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free
ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of
the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For
every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation's scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the
power of money is ever present and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal
and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old,
within the principles of our democratic system ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.

It really matters whether the policy and science functions have been separated. In this case, they clearly were not.

I used to work at a government lab. The policy then was that any royalties from patents on work done using taxpayer funding resulted in the authors splitting 20% of the royalties.

Well, that must be unique. When a patent application with me as an inventor was filed, I got a small amount of money (like $100), which is legally necessary for transferring all rights to the company. I don't know that anyone kicked about it or was less motivated to have a commercially successful product or process. That was our job.

They're just following orders.

The letter to NC doctors from the NC medical licensing board (whatever the offical title is) was posted here and a thread discussed it. It was very clear. If you don't follow FDA guidelines on COVID (and only on COVID, you can prescribe whatever else you want and it's fine), you risk your license.

I suspect that's where the bulk of the deaths came from during the big push to scare everyone. Antibiotics were withheld from people with pneumonia.

During COVID the government unconstitutionally stripped people of their liberties, lied about the virus to control people, let many people die by being denied care, didn’t even allow families to bury their dead, kept people from worshipping, forced them to take medicine they didn’t want or need, kept cures from them, made people lose their livelihoods, destroyed peoples reputations, jailed some people and overall achieved a complete dictatorship. Now we know it was all lies, people profiteered from it, it was an organized conspiracy and… it a single thing is being done to these people. Not one thing. Even worse people followed like sheep to the slaughter. There is no limit to what people will take and when Democrats blatantly steal the next election and stay in power it will be over.

Ah, but it's okay. It's N95 respirators that are dangerous because they're respirators. Identical K95 masks AREN'T respirators because the manufacturers didn't pay for certification, so they're perfectly safe to wear for 12 hour shifts since they're identical to but not N models. Also shut up.

I am. He's busy trying to whitewash the record now but his pronouncements including saying that companies and schools should be forced to implement vaccine mandates led many to do just that because he carried the implied power of the federal government. To this day including in today's hearing he still maintains that the unvaccinated are responsible for hundreds of thousand of deaths.

The real revelation about Fauci isn't that he wasn't just working for the NIH. He was working for the DOD as the head of bioweapons research at the exact same time and has been since the Bush administration.

205 Carbon dioxide dropped after colonial contact wiped out Native Americans.

Did the massive scale of death in the Americas following colonial contact in the 1500s affect atmospheric CO2 levels? That’s a question scientists have debated over the last 30 years, ever since they noticed a sharp drop in CO2 around the year 1610 in air preserved in Antarctic ice.

That drop in atmospheric CO2 levels is the only significant decline in recent millennia, and scientists suggested that it was caused by reforestation in the Americas, which resulted from their depopulation via pandemics unleashed by early European contact. It is so distinct that it was proposed as a candidate for the marker of the beginning of a new geological epoch—the “Anthropocene.”

... this sort of ends that meme that native americans took care of the land better. scientific proof that indigenous people had a horrific carbon footprint.

Those entities were collectively able to twist the arms of nearly every person in the country to do things that were clearly against their well being.

For 18-24 months it was like living in a huge commune (we're all in this together) with some of the most draconian rules ever seen. It allowed an election to be stolen. It changed how people work. And the majority of people fell for it. Embraced it. Still live it.

Posted by: ... at June 03, 2024 02:35 PM (WAqZr)


We caught Covid from a 100% masked and probably 90% vaxxed event. Got a call the following day that several attendees came down with Covid and the next day we learned that we didn't escape the Coof. This, after repeated, unmasked, direct contact with actively sick people, and exposures to mass spreader events, with nary a sniffle. Because it's difficult to build up a strong enough pathogen load without trapping and concentrating the germs around your nose and mouth.

2) Other scientists complain "that doesn't make any sense, show us the evidence this proclamation is correct?"

3) these scientists are called "nuts" and sources of misinformation.

4) We find that the "science" was in fact wrong. not just wrong, but wrong in exactly the way the critics said it was.

5) Not only that, but the scientists insisting on the wrong science benefited financially from this.

6) The press just shrugs and moves on to the next "crises".

264 The conviction of former President Donald Trump appeared to negatively impact Americans’ outlook on their judicial system, a YouGov poll recently found.

The survey suggests the prosecution of Trump, President Joe Biden’s political opponent, eroded faith in the American system of justice.

In just six weeks, from April 16 to May 31, trust in the American jury system fell three points: 54 percent to 51 percent.

The drop in trust was greater among independents and Republicans. Independents’ trust dropped four points, while Republicans dropped 17 points.

The clot shot was approved and then mandated because the initial studies said it stopped 99%+ of transmission. This is why Biden said you can't get COVID if you take the clot shot.

Of course almost immediately after those numbers were released whistler blowers came forward and said they were faked. They were silenced and then a year or so later the silencers in the medical establishment started claiming no one ever said the clot shot stops the transmission of COVID.

282 Snuck into the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was a poorly drafted provision that attempted to lower out-of-pocket expenses on prescription drugs. The IRA lowers the out-of-pocket maximum for seniors from about $3,300 to $2,000 by shifting the responsibility for the $1,300 difference to insurance companies. To no one’s surprise, the insurance companies pass that cost to consumers in the form of higher premiums and restricted access to prescription drugs.

This year, premiums for Medicare Part D are up more than 20 percent for the more than 50 million Americans enrolled. In 2025, they could increase again by more than 50 percent! We hope people are paying close enough attention during open enrollment in October to compare this price spike as President Biden campaigns on how he “fought Big Pharma to lower drug costs!”

Correct in theory although I'm very skeptical of that 90% figure. Seems like anti-Western propaganda to me.

295 Correct in theory although I'm very skeptical of that 90% figure. Seems like anti-Western propaganda to me. Plus, how could they possibly know what the size of the native population was before we arrived? No doubt many natives died from smallpox and other diseases. But 90%? Smells like bulls*** to me.

Even the people making such claims are pretty good about saying the error bars are very large. It's based on land usage, plant species, and related phenomena.

296 Paying hospitals for each dead COVID victim they could tally up was the most blatant demonstration of the willingness of fascist government to and corporate cronies to kill people for fun and profit...

Thanks to Fauci, I had to experience this absurdity at swim meets during college.

Imagine this: wearing a wet mask over your face, essentially waterboarding yourself, all under the guise of it saving lives.

310 In just six weeks, from April 16 to May 31, trust in the American jury system fell three points: 54 percent to 51 percent.

The drop in trust was greater among independents and Republicans. Independents’ trust dropped four points, while Republicans dropped 17 points.

Posted by: SMOD

How does 17 point drop for 1/3+ of the electorate and a 4 point drop for 1/3- of the electorate equal a 3 point drop overall. Should be at least 7 points unless there was a 22 point demofascist increase.

366 When it comes to government "scientists" I think as long as they're providing the agency/bureau/department with whatever is wanted for funding, public policy, propaganda... they'll remain on the payroll and climb the federal ladder.

Look at the climate scientists as an example. Fauci and the rest of the "scientists" working behind the scenes on the covid op were following a script. Providing "data" for bureaucrats to make policy with.

But mostly to screw people over and steal an election behind their backs. The trillions of dollars laundered through BigPharma was totally worth the deaths. To them.

Sure, but - if they want - they're still with the government, with paid vacations during shutdowns, and going to have a fantastic retirement plan.

No nervousness about that pesky system admin collapse that happened to all of my friends that graduated in the mid 90s.

Silver Sea is a high-end line. Rack rates are very expensive. But like all big cruise ships, they have rooms they need to fill. You can indeed get some great deals if you are in the right place at the right time. I negotiated more than 50% off my cruise last week.


I didn't know they'd been bought by RC. I imagine that will be a tricky transition. Even if nothing changes in terms of service, the people who are looking at UP cruises will think twice if they see the name RC.
