发帖数: 897 | 1 The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent more than $39 million on
obese lesbians, origami condoms, texting drunks, and dozens of other
projects that could have been scrapped in favor of developing an Ebola
vaccine.
“Frankly, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support,
we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would’ve gone
through clinical trials and would have been ready,” said NIH Director
Francis Collins, blaming budget cuts for his agency’s failure to develop a
vaccine for the deadly virus.
However, the Washington Free Beacon has uncovered $39,643,352 worth of NIH
studies within the past several years that have gone to questionable
research.
For instance, the agency has spent $2,873,440 trying to figure out why
lesbians are obese, and $466,642 on why fat girls have a tough time getting
dates. Another $2,075,611 was spent encouraging old people to join choirs.
Millions have gone to “text message interventions,” including a study
where researchers sent texts to drunks at the bar to try to get them to stop
drinking. The project received an additional grant this year, for a total
of $674,590.
The NIH is also texting older African Americans with HIV ($372,460), HIV and
drug users in rural areas ($693,000), HIV smokers ($763,519), pregnant
smokers ($380,145), teen moms ($243,839), and meth addicts ($360,113). Text
message interventions to try to get obese people to lose weight have cost $2
,707,067.
The NIH’s research on obesity has led to spending $2,101,064 on wearable
insoles and buttons that can track a person’s weight, and $374,670 to put
on fruit and vegetable puppet shows for preschoolers. | m**********j
