Controversial NIH Research Practices

Under your NIAID coronavirus,

researchers also used aborted baby body parts in mice research,

and taxpayers paid for them to do that.

NIH-funded coronavirus researcher Dr. Ralph Baric and

his colleagues at UNC put parts of livers,

thymuses, and chunks of human fetal lung

that they got from almost five-month-old human babies.

They put those parts in their research mice.

They disgustingly named them BLT-L mice

and wrote they had created a,

quote, sandwich of aborted body parts in the mice.

Get it, folks? BLT.

A BLT sandwich.

Your RML lab employees in Montana also ordered and used

aborted baby body parts in their taxpayer-funded research,

and emails show how they plan to use those mice for post-COVID work.

NIH funded putting aborted babies' fingers and scalps off the heads

of aborted babies and putting them into the backs of research mice.

The scalps later grew fine baby hair in the mice.

They even included those disgusting photos in their research paper

that you funded. Not all of those were research on coronaviruses, but some were.

Thankfully, the current NIH director has said no more of this.

Dr. Fauci, yes or no,

do you think that human aborted parts should be put into mice for coronavirus research?

The advice of counsel I respectfully decline to answer

based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.
