> Or are you suggesting that this is to get back at NIH because of Fauci?

Yes, I believe thats a main driver for why this administration does not like the NIH

Considering we had over a hundred million Americans fall ill to a global pandemic that ended barely two years ago, one might conclude that the only reason to hobble the groups that are intended to fight such outbreaks (among many other tasks) would be a poor decision. In fact, one could conclude based on the literal rhetoric from the President and members of his staff, that it’s out of sheer spite.

Which itself is amazing, considering that he was in charge while it happened.

If you still believe the republican have principles that they actually believe in, I have a bridge to sell you
