NIH scientists made $710M in royalties from drug makers — a fact they tried to hide​

MSN

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 reveals 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 Disease (NIAID), the subagency led by Dr. Anthony Fauci, and 260 of its scientists.

Information about this vast private royalty complex is tightly held by 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 twelve 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.

NIH was paid royalties for letting pharmaceutical companies use licensees for scientific research programs conducted in the ICs.

This is not just a non-story, it is propaganda of finest caliber.


"The press agency reported that two leading researchers, Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and his deputy, Clifford Lane, received payments relating to their development of interleukin 2 as a treatment for HIV/AIDS. Dr Lane told the BMJ that the payment was part of his federal compensation. He explained that the government patented the development and shared the payments it received with the inventors. Since 1997 he has received about $45 000 he says. The institutes awarded $36m in grants for studies to test the treatment.

Dr Anthony Fauci told the BMJ that as a government employee he was required by law to put his name on the patent for the development of interleukin 2 and was also required by law to receive part of the payment the government received for use of the patent. He said that he felt it was inappropiate to receive payment and donated the entire amount to charity."

That's like a dollar an hour.

It’s a hemorrhagic fever; like ebola is a strong advertising stance.
Very solid marketing

What a nothingburger.. arrangements like that could never have any effect on the distribution of the billions in grant money that runs through the good doctors fingers every year. Not with his spotless record of integrity.

Either I don't understand your comment, or you don't understand how royalties work.

So, the NIH develops some technology, then private companies pay them for the rights to use that technology?

What's the issue with that? Should they give that technology away to private companies for free? Is that what you guys want? Or not give it to anyone? Or, do you guys want the government to start manufacturing pharmaceuticals? Seriously, how do you guys think this should work?

That one politician who questioned him, Maliatokis (sp), asked him how much of the money has been returned to the American people.

What you mean the people profiting from the means of production instead of private industry?? Like socialism?? Lolz

So the people that funded the creation of COVID in Wuhan also develop the "cure", all with tax dollar funding, then they rake in royalties from pharma companies that had also received billions of dollar from tax payers to develop them.

Nothing to see here.

I find it hilarious that the right turns into communists when it comes to pharmaceutical

How so?

 

[filthybliss]

How so?

The paranoia behind how much Fauci and the pharma companies make off vaccines. They'll be pin drop silent on the other money minting industries.

 

[Natural Order]

The hundreds of billions of dollars spent by the west on Chinese made throwaway, useless, face masks is the funniest part of the whole debacle.

Literally massive wealth extraction under most peoples noses....by the place that started it. Imagine.

Fauci was the highest paid government employee... How is being against him taking in a bunch of extra profits supporting communism? This argument makes zero sense.
