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."
@TheChiefNerd 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.
@TheChiefNerd @SheWhoCarries Al Gore did the same thing to environmental policy. https://t.co/DaIpO1pPpm
