There is already a cure…. it was released in a patent at least 15 years ago and now it’s hidden..
More insanity.
They don't care. They don't want the US to be a tech and science based society that leads the world in tech, research, and medicine. Trump wants to move us back to manufacturing, which means gutting universities, stopping higher ed, and gutting research.
Why do we need a national institute of health, when individual hospitals should have the power to use Jesus to cast out the evil spirits?
BS, look what was wasted on COVID BS.
If people stopped vaccines and other injectable concoctions we all would be a lot healthier…
What lies…
This is BS
No end to rump's stupidity.
Like Bill Owens, I resign from supporting Trump Propaganda.
CBS EXECUTIVES SHOULD BE FIRED
Shut down the NIH!
Cancer research for 70 yrs ??? Billions of dollars ??? We won’t have to worry about it if H1N1 spreads as fast as Covid tried in the US ??? 😢
This is not accurate. Anything these people report requires fact checking to no end
CBS IS NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION ANYMORE! They obeyed Trump and should now be called a PROPAGANDA outlet. Shame on you.
Yes, I will be cancelling Paramount+ after your chief resigned.
Dr collins is literally the man who gave us covid. Are you freaking kidding me???????? He should be in prison suffering, not on tv
47 is a bigger criminal than 45, but not by much.
60 minutes needs to be canceled. Your continuous and fraudulent attack on President Trump and his administration is traitorous and is extreme, liberal, communist, socialist, marxist propaganda.
Where are all these afforable drugs nih developed? How can a drug help an entire nation if they are only available to those who can afford them? Nope not my tax dollars if it isn’t for everyone then let the people these drugs are created for pay for development.
