RFK Jr: NIH Funded fake, fraudulent studies affecting many diseases. They have hurt America

RFK JR: “20 years ago NIH scientists did a study on amyloid on Alzheimer’s in which they said it was caused by amyloid plaque. After that NIH shut down studies of any other hypothesis. Twenty years later we now know that those studies were fraudulent. NIH has funded 800 studies on a fraudulent hypothesis and we’ve lost 20 years in figuring out how to a cure for Alzheimer’s. And that’s just one example. I could give you hundreds. We need to end that.”

Losing two decades by following a false lead on Alzheimer’s is a sin against humanity! We must demand justice. Jacob
The NIH funded the Wuhan lab. That’s all anyone needs to know about the NIH.
Great point by RFK Jr, highlights the dangers of groupthink in science and the need for diverse perspectives. The fact that NIH shut down alternative hypothesis research is alarming, stifling innovation and progress. Thanks for sharing, Chief Nerd, more people need to hear about this and demand accountability from our health institutions. – Stop Socialist Tyranny
This is exactly why you cannot call something “settled science” because science is not something to be “settled”
We need to break the NIH’s strangle hold over the grant process to the scientific community. More than $30 billion in grants annually – used to control opinions & outcomes. Take those grants away from NIH and you immediately have a healthier scientific community. – Jeff Carlson
He is 100% correct. We need him. The way RFK Jr. is being treated is despicable.
The NIH and the FDC are weaponized arms of our government used to fatten the profits of powerful corporations and pharmaceutical giants! All their studies favor specific industries and none of them have anything to do with the health of Americans! Both agencies need to be defunded and disbanded! – Charlie Bravo
