Fauci’s NIH Division Spent Taxpayer Money to Study Hormone Therapy In Monkeys
Fauci has made a mess of HIV research since 1984.
Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a division of the National Institutes of Health, used $205,000 of taxpayer money in part to study hormone therapy for monkeys for HIV research.
The Washington Free Beacon reported:
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in December 2021 gave Scripps Research $205,562 for the study, which aims to determine why transgender women have high rates of HIV. As part of the study, researchers subject male monkeys to feminizing hormone therapy to study how it impacts the monkeys’ immune systems, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The NIAID began running HIV vaccine tests on monkeys a year after Fauci took charge. Each year, the department acquires 400 to 600 rhesus monkeys from a South Carolina island leased by Charles River Laboratories, which has a $27.5 million contract with the NIAID.
Why? WHY!?
How about we run tests on the people? Why not look at the hormones they’re taking, what surgery they had, what medications they take, etc? It’s not like you’re testing new medicines.
PETA neuroscientist Dr. Katherine Roe described the research as “yet another pointless, wasteful monkey torture experiment.”
Roe stated the study will not succeed “because monkeys cannot contract HIV.” Monkeys contract Simian Immunodeficiency Virus, which is a milder strain of HIV. It is not sufficient enough to advance HIV research.
Fauci took over NIAID in 1984. Studying monkeys and HIV began in 1985. All of that money could have gone towards reliable and sound HIV research.
Oh, wait a minute! That’s right! This is not the first time Fauci has screwed over HIV research. During the HIV/AIDS breakout in the 1980s, Fauci did not allow people to use “repurposed drugs that would have helped alleviate many of the effects of the diseases impacting patients.”
Leslie also pointed out a letter activist Larry Kramer wrote to Fauci in 1988, slamming him for wasting $374 million. Kramer recalled visiting Fauci’s “Animal House of Horrors in 1984.” He then called Fauci a murderer because Fauci used every excuse to explain why NIAID hadn’t tested a lot of drugs for HIV and AIDS.
The movie Dallas Buyers Club showcased a man who worked around the red tape to get those medicines. Fantastic movie. You should also watch And the Band Played On.
NIAID denied a report it funded testing on beagle puppies. But the division confirmed it “has supported research on dogs in the past.”

Fauci is what you get when a bureaucrat stays in office for 40 years with no oversight. I just happened to run across a 2017 interview and he was just as condescending and arrogant as he has been through all this and just as WRONG.
Correct. Fauci is not the true problem. He’s a symptom of the problem of huge, lavishly funded, unaccountable government.
It’s worse. It will come out that Fauci DIRECTLY caused the deaths of millions of people all over the planet. Further, the damage will compound as the effects of the experimental RNA shot in children and young people will manifest in birth defects and early deaths of people who otherwise might have lived.
But first, Fauci will have gotten his money, and Bill Gates will have gotten his warped dreams. .
Said to be highest paid bureaucrat
Can’t wait until he is burning in Hell for his crime against humanity.
Prison is better. Hell afterwards.
“the study, which aims to determine why transgender women have high rates of HIV.”
Um… because they came through puberty as irrational, irresponsible gay males?
You can own that analysis for only $100K, Tony.
And that’s another reason the monkey trials won’t work — you didn’t start with gay monkeys.
The dude wasted 200k to “study” something that has been know since he screwed up the HIV response in the 80s. I can’t stand that malevolent, little troll.
Who is worse, Fauci or the leftists propping him up?
Also tranny monkeys would have darwinned themselves out of monkey society pretty damn fucking quickly because males don’t pop fucking babies out.
Tony, that stunning bit of “science” will only cost you 500G’s!!
Who hasn’t wanted to put a monkey in a dress, as the saying goes.
Obiously, Fauci. He probably did it to make Obama happy.
HIV is much higher amongst gay men. News at 11.
Hmm, was this just them looking at their own employees?
Where does this madness end? Lets hope it ends BEFORE they experiment with Monkeys and tanks! Nothing good will ever come of that!!
This is the most important NIH study related to HIV since the one that evaluated whether smoking weed could increase the appetite of AIDS patients, encouraging them to eat more and maintain their weight. I think that study was done in my college dorm. The answer was “yes.” Shocking results.
If you follow the science, HIV doesn’t cause AIDS…. and thus all of this research is just money generating for Fauci’s favorite scientists. If was due to HIV virus, it would have spread to the non-gay men… It’s really due to drug usage, but Fauci won’t allow any studies to be done to evaluate this.
To be clear, there are a lot of good reasons for hormone therapy research besides LGBTQIAze research. There are also many good reasons for AIDS research as it is a unique retrovirus that is capable of teaching us a lot about viruses in general.
That said, the rationale for this research funding proposal sucks and is entirely political.
Also, I don’t think we should take anything that a PETA spokesperson says seriously.
