News of another troubling failure within the Biden administration recently came to light, underscoring why Americans have lost all trust in the U.S. government and its public agencies. The failure involved the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – a behemoth public agency that was given hundreds of billions of dollars of federal money to dole out during the pandemic.
The latest failure involved disturbing new claims about lack of accountability within the HHS, which involved fourteen National Institutes of Health (NIH) officials.1 Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, announced in a press conference that several key NIH public officials – including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) Director Dr. Anthony Fauci – allegedly served unlawfully in their NIH positions from December 2021 to June 2023, calling into question the legitimacy of $25 billion in biomedical research grants awarded in 2022 alone.2
