@jjh_esq@marwilliamson You literally just moved from "NIH regulates beakers" to "NIH funds research on beakers but it doesn't count." So whos the liar?🤥 you don’t seem to be someone informed on this topic
@jjh_esq@marwilliamson You're confusing the NIH with the FDA. The NIH is a funding agency. Their $47B budget largely goes out as grants to universities to pay for research. That is literally public funding. The FDA is the one that regulates the beakers. Try again.
@jjh_esq@marwilliamson Not a dime" is false, and your own screenshot proves it. The 25% figure only counts direct late-stage patents. A PNAS study found NIH funding contributed to every drug approved 2010-2016. If taxpayers funded the basic science that made the drug possible, it relied on public funds
@Bunch0numb3rz@AnnLLarson Your liberal west wing fantasy is so fucking lame dude. He could have fined banks that failed to help homeowners or forced mortgage mods as a condition for receiving a bailout. That was the least he could have done without congress
@Bunch0numb3rz@AnnLLarson This is fucking lie he made a half ass policy for homeowners called the Home Affordable Modification Program. He had the means and sold us out
