Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Fauci and Other NIH "Scientists" Hid $710 MILLION in "Royalty" Payments from the Big Pharma CompaniesService 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.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. 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: 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.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."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. 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.

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. Posted by: Archimedes at June 03, 2024 02:17 PM (xCA6C) 30

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.

I'm not sure the $710 million thing is much, depending on the details. Companies license their patents all the time and get royalties for the use of their technology by other companies. So if the $710 million went to the NIH or someone else, it's no big deal. But I'd like to know the details.

@PaulaYScanlan 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. It's hard to believe anyone thought this made sense. 🤡 tinyurl.com/mu39eff6 Posted by: redridinghood at June 03, 2024 02:25 PM (NpAcC) 91

Remember, the Constitution forbids punishments that are "cruel and unusual." And. If we do it enough, it won't be unusual. So we can treat the entire feral government as if they were Fauci's beagles, and it would pass muster.

Without the 6 feet rule, no shutdown.
Billions to trillions in business revenue destroyed. Millions driven to despair, drug and alcohol abuse, even suicide from those job losses and financial ruin. More were killed from the shutdown than ever could have been saved. And no one was allowed to question. We don't need a "Truth and Reconciliation Committee." We need a "Truth and Recriminations Committee."

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.

Are doctors only interested in becoming millionaires and screw their patients while they are at it?
- 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. https://tinyurl.com/2b849sln I assume it was FDA guidance and their licenses were at risk if they didn't help murder those people.

You want to know why Democrats keep pushing the envelope? Look no further. 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.

A long-time nurse told me that she and other nurses were trained to not wear a mask for more than 15 minutes and to don a fresh mask for each patient. These safeguards were intended to prevent the spread of infectious pathogens.
But during Covid, nurses were instructed to wear their masks all day long. I have never picked up any illnesses in a doctor's office EXCEPT for the last few years when I had to sit in a tiny exam room with a masked healthcare provider or in a waiting room full of masked patients.

So, what he (Fraudci) said was all bullshit. I kinda figured that out myself about 4 years ago. Of course now I am PNGed at my workplace for not going along with the BS. One of my kids had a hard time with the BS lockdowns. It affected them for quite some time. Where do I go to get the time back for my kids who had their lives upended with the BS? Where do the people go to get part of their lives back. What about loved ones who passed away in hospitals and nursing homes, with no loved ones their for closure in their lives? I don't have hate anymore, just a slow burning rage. I understand this dwarf Fraudci and others, will have to answer someday for their crimes against humanity.

This reminds me of the housing collapse ... before that Fannie and Freddie Mac had so much money to throw around (from the housing scheme of selling junk as AAA) that they bought ALL the lobbyists, even if they paid them to sit on the sidelines.
Everyone in DC was raking in the bribes, or at least buying up the stock knowing that they'd be getting billions in "Free" government subsidy. It was an orgy of corrupt scum robbing the country blind, while also murdering a million or so (we don't yet know how many more will by killed by their cure).

>>I'm not mad at Fauci. He's a government drone. So I expect this from him.
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. Posted by: JackStraw at June 03, 2024 02:40 PM (LkLld) 169

Since the NIH won't say what these royalties were for or who got em, I'll bite:
NIH has some random patent, and then Big Pharma "licenses" it not because it's great or necessary, but because it allows them to pay a "royalty" aka a bribe to the employee. Until we know what was licensed, for what purpose, and who got paid, that's my default assumption.

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.

I still contend the covid op had more to do with public compliance than anything else. The virus made for good copy with the media, the medical sector and, most importantly, FedGov. 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. The deaths... unforgivable. And those who planned and implemented the con need to hang. Every last one.

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. Posted by: SMOD at June 03, 2024 02:58 PM (RHGPo) 265

Let me tell you, the shot callers who pushed the panic, the poison shots, and the hospital protocols absolutely knew they were committing mass murder and mass maiming. 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.

Now, the doctors said that even though smokers didn't get Covid, they are not advising cigarettes. Cigarettes have 150 government-allowed chemicals in them that are not nicotine.

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!

On the bright side, I did have *one* Covid sheep friend apologize to me, and she was one who didn't directly harass me. She just canceled a visit her husband initiated with us within the two weeks of getting her shots.
But she is a sincere Christian lady. Our Covid tormentors, in the other hand, have not apologized and are all quite eager to be slaves to the State. Posted by: Emmie at June 03, 2024 03:06 PM (Sf2cq) 313

Of the 2.1 million federal employees in a government database excluding the U.S. Postal Service, intelligence agencies and certain other categories, about 10,000 are fired for either poor performance or misconduct each year.
As I said, it depends on the people. Highly skilled, highly educated people, at least at my lab, are held to a very different standard, and those who couldn't cut it were usually Riffed.

Teacher seems to be the sweet spot, though. Be fair to middling through college, get a teaching gig, never need to learn anything new or meaningfully advance for 30 years and retire at $80-100K or so with full benefits, and go work another teaching job for 10 years and get vested that system, too.
I would encourage any kid to take advantage of that. Posted by: Moron Robbie - WHY ARE YOU TRUMP SUPPORTERS SO HAPPY?!!! at June 03, 2024 03:21 PM (sIl7T) 388

I got an email from USAA over the weekend and they have some pretty good deals. They're owned by Royal Caribbean now, so I think they're dropping the elite status and trying to appeal to the masses.
Posted by: Jordan61 at June 03, 2024 03:12 PM (DRSnL) ____________ 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. Posted by: Archimedes at June 03, 2024 03:19 PM (xCA6C) ________ Celebrity (also a high end line) got bought up by RC too. Lots of consolidation going on.

The FDA collects user fees from companies that are trying to introduce new products. The money goes towards payroll in general, but there sure is a lot of room for malfeasance. And it incentivizes the FDA to slow down its process, right?
