U.S. taxpayers shell out billions of dollars every year to fund NIH, expecting the agency to pay back their investment with urgently needed treatments and cures. Here\u2019s what taxpayers get instead: NIH\u2019s continued reliance on failed animal experimentation and negligence, cruelty, and repeated violations of federal law in the agency\u2019s own animal laboratories. Collins has served as the director of NIH since August 2009&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For years, Collins has turned a blind eye to this gruesome spectacle that he oversees\u2014and to the fact that precious few treatments or cures have come out of his kingdom of suffering. Even as scientific evidence of the failure of animal experiments to produce cures and treatments for humans has mounted, the agency has continued to waste public funds on cruel and failed experiments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In its strategic plan for 2016 through 2020, NIH acknowledged that \u201canimal models often fail to provide good ways to mimic disease or predict how drugs will work in humans\u201d\u2014yet Collins continues to squander nearly half the agency\u2019s budget on this pseudoscience year after year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Collins has been at the helm of NIH\u2019s sinking ship for more than a decade, and he\u2019s shown himself unwilling or incapable of steering it toward modern, human-relevant research. If the U.S. is to maintain its position as a world leader in research, NIH must change course now\u2014with a fresh, innovative new captain at the helm. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/support.peta.org\/page\/32306\/action\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOURCE&#8230;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>[EDITOR: It is clear from the documents that it is Dr. Anthony Fauci who is responsible for the funding of the above animal experiments, as he has been doing for more than four decades. However, PETA is asking for Dr. Francis Collins&#8217; resignation (Fauci&#8217;s boss), and completely ignoring the major role that Dr. Fauci has on funding horrendous animal experiments. Which begs the question, why? The answer is because Dr. Fauci is the darling of the &#8220;intersectionalist&#8221; and liberal left, where PETA&#8217;s major donors politically reside. Asking for Fauci&#8217;s resignation would not go well with this evil bunch, and would impact their donations. This clearly shows that, once again, when it comes between protecting animals or donations, PETA always goes for the money.
