Now Let Me see who is paying for this?

 Nature notes a revitalization of the entity tied in with the COVID mess. The article states:

Researchers who spoke to Nature applaud the renewal, adding that this type of research is essential to avert the next pandemic. They claim that the NIH’s termination and subsequent suspension were politically motivated, and that although long overdue, this renewal ends – for now – a drama-filled exchange between the agency and EcoHealth. “It’s about goddamn time,” says Gerald Keusch, associate director of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory Institute at Boston University in Massachusetts who organized researchers to push back against EcoHealth’s grant termination in 2020. “The integrity of science requires a barrier against political interference,” he says.

 In my opinion if this academic says we, the taxpayer, must fund their ideas no matter what I suggest that they may find it better elsewhere. But alas this is why the public view academics as worse than politicians...and that is really pushing the envelope.

Thank God I left all that behind.
