Only the @NIH could be so tone deaf and disconnected about why people don’t trust their vaccine, that they need to set up grants to study it.
If you do not comply with our liability free mandated injection that we get royalties from… we will waste more of your money studying you!

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is abruptly terminating at least 33 research grants for projects studying why some people are hesitant to receive vaccinesor evaluating strategies that could encourage vaccine uptake, Science has learned. An additional nine grants may be modified or cut back. Scientists who received these grants will receive termination letters this evening.
A person with direct knowledge of the situation says NIH has also requested lists of projects involving messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, which some vaccine skeptics think are unsafe because they believe, without evidence, that the vaccines could modify DNA or cause various health issues. The agency is also seeking a list of collaborations between NIH researchers and international partners on any topic. The terminations appear to be part of the agency’s efforts to defund research that does not align with policies backed by President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—a noted vaccine skeptic.
