Rand Paul Releases Records Alleging Years of NIH Biosafety Failures

By Amanda Head | Just The News New documents released by Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., reveal that two National Institutes of Health scientists were charged with conspiring to smuggle monkeypox virus samples into the United States after returning from the Congo. The documents released by Congress revealed a decade of warnings and workarounds in the handling of dangerous pathogens. In January, NIH Rocky Mountain Laboratories virologists Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe arrived at Detroit Metropolitan Airport from the Republic of the Congo, where a monkeypox outbreak was active. On arrival, they declared that a large black case contained only “diagnostics and testing equipment.” Federal investigators later ...

Questions Mount Over NIH Oversight After Alleged Virus Smuggling Incident

By Greg Piper | Just the News "We don’t want Montana to be the next Wuhan," Big Sky Country senator says, asking inspector general to probe federal lab after RFK Jr. confirms whistleblower allegations. NIH has dribbled out details on pathogen accidents. The ABC political thriller Scandal ran for six seasons. If it were a reality show, The Real Scandals of Rocky Mountain Laboratories might be getting renewed for a ninth season. Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Montana, urged Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General March Bell to immediately investigate "safety, security, and personnel practices at RML," a BSL-4 facility on the west side of Montana near the Idaho border that conducts federal research on the most dangerous path...

Bipartisan Majority Opposes Animal Testing Yet Federal Funding Persists

By Meghan Miller | Commentary, Washington Examiner After years of court hearings, investigations, open rescues, and protests, the notorious beagle breeding and research facility Ridglan Farms has finally agreed to release 1,500 dogs to rescue organizations. This is certainly a win for animals, but the era of animal testing is far from over, particularly because the federal government enables it. While the Left and Right don’t align on much these days, over 85% of Republicans and Democrats do agree animal testing should be phased out. Notable voices across the political spectrum, including Lara Trump, Tomi Lahren, Dave Portnoy, Jennifer Welch, and groups such as Democracy Now! have spoken out against Ridglan, unequivocally demonstrating both that the public...

Federal Indictment Fuels New Questions Over Federal Handling Of COVID Origins And Vaccine Risks

By Greg Piper | Just the News Indictment alleges quid pro quo between EcoHealth Alliance, Fauci senior advisor started with an "upper-mid tier" wine delivery. Sen. Johnson says FDA knew government database "masked" vaccine injuries, rejected transparency update. David Morens, senior advisor to former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci for 16 years, spent much of his career studying the threat of viral outbreaks posed by birds, especially when infections jump from wild fowl to poultry. Now he's facing the possibility of prison. The chickens have come home to roost for Morens, two years after congressional subpoenas exposed his avowed practice of circumventing the Freedom of Information Act to hide conversations ...

NIH halting taxpayer-funded dog and cat testing after outcry from Republican lawmakers

By Ross O'Keefe | Washington Examiner Hours after Republican lawmakers sent a letter to National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya asking him to end dog and cat testing, two top officials at the agency said they are “phasing out” testing on the animals. Bhattacharya and NIH Deputy Director Nicole Kleinstreuer spoke with each other on an NIH video, in which the former asked the latter what they should do about dog and cat testing. “I don’t think we should do research on dogs or cats,” she said. “Absolutely not.” “To phase them out, we are working tirelessly behind the scenes,” she added. “We are doing a very critical assessment of the entire extramural grant portfolio to understand where different types of animals are being used and for what purp...

GOP lawmakers demand end to taxpayer-funded dog and cat experimentation at NIH

By Hannah Knudsen | Breitbart Several Republican House members, led by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), are demanding the termination of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding going toward cruel experiments on dogs and cats. In a letter penned to NIH Director Jayanta Bhattacharya, reviewed by Breitbart News, lawmakers raise the issue highlighted by the taxpayer watchdog White Coat Waste Project (WCW), which has demonstrated that NIH “continues to renew and fund dozens of Dr. Fauci’s disturbing experiments on dogs and cats in labs around the world, in which animals are infested with insects, infected with viruses, forcefed experimental drugs, and killed.” “As Congress begins its work to implement the Trump Administration’s request for a 40 percent cut to the National Institutes of Heal...

Trump bans federal funding for ‘dangerous’ gain-of-function research

By Brooke Singman | Fox News President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday banning all federal funding for "dangerous" gain-of-function research in China, Iran and other countries and blocking all federal funding for foreign research that could cause another pandemic. The president signed the order Monday afternoon to improve the safety and security of biological research in the U.S. and around the world. The White House said the order "will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology." Gain-of-function research typically involves modifying a virus to make it more infectious among humans. Gain ...

NIH closes experimentation labs accused of brutally killing thousands of beagles for 40+ years

By Alexandra Koch | Fox News National Institutes of Health (NIH) director Jay Bhattacharya recently announced on Fox News the agency closed its last in-house beagle laboratory on the NIH campus. The announcement comes just days after Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk posted on X that he would investigate funding beagle experiments. A report from the White Coat Waste (WCW) project detailed the lab's history of allegedly pumping pneumonia-causing bacteria into more than 2,000 beagles’ lungs, bleeding them out, and forcing them into septic shock for deadly experiments.

Commentary: Bhattacharya is a strong pick to head NIH

By The Washington Examiner | Commentary Senators may still have some real substantive concerns about President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of Health and Human Services, but his decision to tap Dr. Jay Bhattacharya as director of the National Institutes of Health is the right choice. A Stanford University professor of economic and health policy, Bhattacharya rose to national prominence when he co-authored the Great Barrington Declaration, an open letter published in October 2020 that questioned the lockdown policies promoted by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins. While thousands of scientists ended up signing the declaration, or m...
