If a research is not in the NIH approved researcher pool don't bother with grant application. Fauci and allies established a patronage system that fostered mediocrity, with unimaginative cult researchers and dullard administrators regularly approving each others grants and swapping jobs in and out of pharma industry/academic and regulatory jobs.
The cultist corruption was widely known in the bioresearch field and over decades gave rise a demoralized conformists who have felched together to a chaotic health care system, a "system" . "a system" so bad, that third world nations who spend 7 hundred dollar per person have higher life expectancies, less sickness, and better overall health than we do in the US.
US per capita healthcare spending is about 11,000 dollars.
The cult's objective is not just to steal, it's to block progress. Big Pharma wants to maintain costly, ineffective toxic treatments and to
prevent cheap effective treatments from ever reaching the marketplace.
The cult also attacked baby biotec companies with promising treatments via the financial markets. Companies with treatments for colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease etc.
The pedovors used crooked financial journalists (Notably, Jim Cramer/CNN) to spread misleading information, panicking investors, "retail moron longs" as Cramer says, fake news followed by massive naked short attacks mounted by mob hedge funds, all documented by Mark Mitchell and Patrick Byrne on Bryne's web site:

It's important to understand that the cult make sabotage social subversion pay. They made a fortune, billions of dollars destroying little companies By destroying 100s of baby biotech over decades they prevented many possible treatments ever reaching market, and disrupted the lives and careers of thousand of early career researchers who worked for or owned the companies the cult bankrupted.
Block, stop, impede destroy the positive. Make lives harder not easier with technology. Keep the population sick and frightened, don't give them time to think, and ridicule the few who object.
The cult favors "wellness" over health, because health is self sufficient. If we're healthy we need nothing else.
Whereas we can never ever have enough wellness. Only a sick person would say no to more wellness.
