@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?๐คฅ you donโt 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
