“Funded by U.S. tax dollars, the NIH supports researchers throughout the country and around the world as they work to improve people's health. The NIH recognizes the importance of keeping the American people informed about how their tax dollars are spent to support medical research.”

“Political pressure almost certainly played a part in the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) sudden termination of a grant it had awarded to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China for joint research on coronaviruses in bats and their potential to jump into humans. The project, which was cancelled in late April, had come under public attack from President Trump and some Republican lawmakers in the preceding weeks.”

“The EcoHealth Alliance has received more than $3.7 million since 2015 for its research on the risks of coronavirus spread through bats and the potential for spillover into humans. The effort has produced at least 20 scientific papers, including several published in prominent journals such as Nature.
As recently as April 2018, the NIH issued a press release promoting a study linked to the research project, whose authors included a scientist at the Wuhan lab.”

And abortion too:

“New York State just passed a gruesome law that legalizes abortions up to and including the point of birth. A bill in Virginia, supported by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, would have apparently legalized the killing of just-born infants. The pro-life movement needs to strike back, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—part of President Donald Trump’s executive branch—is the vehicle through which to strike that blow.
Late last year, it was reported that the Trump administration’s HHS was launching a review of the federal government’s funding of fetal tissue research using the remains of aborted babies. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), part of HHS, spent $103 million on fetal tissue research in 2018.”
