According to a new report, the NIH and the federal agency’s scientists received at least $350 million in royalties from third-party groups over the last decade.
The investigation, conducted by Open the Books, found that the third-party groups are mostly pharmaceutical companies that credit NIH scientists as co-inventors on various patents.
“Because those payments enrich the agency and its scientists, each and every royalty payment could be a potential conflict of interest and needs disclosure,” Adam Andrzejewski, founder of OpentheBooks.com and the report’s author, said.

Between roughly 2010 and 2015, the NIH disclosed 22,100 royalty payments that totaled nearly $134 million paid to the government agency and around 1,700 of its scientists.
The agency disclosed the amount after Open the Books sued in federal court for access to the information, Just the News reports.
Open the Books is still waiting for documents that will cover the 2015-2020 period.
The documents they already have reveal that Dr. Fauci received 23 royalty payments, in addition to taking a 2021 taxpayer-funded salary of more than $450,000. Former NIH Director Francis Collins also received 14 payments.

Hence, the incessant push for vaccinations.
All for the public good, of course.
If these were earlier days, (the great) Dr. Fauci would have been TARRED and Feathered. Then run out of Town
AS always, Follow the money!
Pay for play pure and simple, whose money should be returned to THE PEOPLE who paid the price in higher costs and loss of freedoms. The face of Bribery and corruption usually always shows up wearing a mask. Fauci is no exception.
AND what’s the betting, those royalties, have NOT HAD TAXES paid on…
Those gov’t. scientists are not self employed. We The People own what they created while on our payroll!!!
This is like a guy who works for $10.00 an hour giving a mandatory $75.00 tip to a waiter, who makes $420.00 an hour,….for bringing him a menu.
I have to agree with the NIH director. It does indeed to be conflicts of interest. But since they are in it solely for the money, and have always demonstrated that science and superstition are equals I think they are probably not guilty of mental “conflict”. But maybe criminal activity.
Jail them all !
They Deserve a LOT MORE than just merely jailing them.
Read The Real Anthony Fauci by Kennedy. This has been happening far longer than a decade.
