featured-img AP NIH Spent Millions On Obese Lesbians, Origami Condoms, Texting Drunks...Not Ebola

[teapartysamurai]

This is what happens when you let liberal bureaucrats run things:

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has spent more than $39 million on obese lesbians, origami condoms, texting drunks, and dozens of other projects that could have been scrapped in favor of developing an Ebola vaccine.

“Frankly, if we had not gone through our 10-year slide in research support, we probably would have had a vaccine in time for this that would’ve gone through clinical trials and would have been ready,” said NIH Director Francis Collins, blaming budget cuts for his agency’s failure to develop a vaccine for the deadly virus.

However, the Washington Free Beacon has uncovered $39,643,352 worth of NIH studies within the past several years that have gone to questionable research.

For instance, the agency has spent $2,873,440 trying to figure out why lesbians are obese, and$466,642 on why fat girls have a tough time getting dates. Another $2,075,611 was spent encouraging old people to join choirs.

Millions have gone to “text message interventions,” including a study where researchers sent texts to drunks at the bar to try to get them to stop drinking. The project received an additional grant this year, for a total of $674,590.

The NIH is also texting older African Americans with HIV ($372,460), HIV and drug users in rural areas ($693,000), HIV smokers ($763,519), pregnant smokers ($380,145), teen moms ($243,839), and meth addicts ($360,113). Text message interventions to try to get obese people to lose weight have cost $2,707,067.

The NIH’s research on obesity has led to spending $2,101,064 on wearable insoles and buttons that can track a person’s weight, and $374,670 to put on fruit and vegetable puppet shows for preschoolers.

A restaurant intervention to develop new children’s menus cost $275,227, and the NIH spent$430,608 for mother-daughter dancing outreach to fight obesity.

Sexual minorities have received a substantial amount from the NIH. The agency has now spent$105,066 following 16 schizophrenic LGBT Canadians around Toronto for a study on their community experiences.

The total for a project on why gay men get syphilis in Peru is now $692,697 after receiving additional $228,425 this year. The NIH is also concerned about postpartum depression in “invisible sexual minority women,” with a study that has cost $718,770.

Millions went to develop “origami condoms,” in male, female, and anal versions. The inventor Danny Resnic, who received $2,466,482 from the NIH, has been accused of massive fraud for using grant money for full-body plastic surgery in Costa Rica and parties at the Playboy mansion.

How transwomen use Facebook is the subject of another NIH study worth $194,788.

What's NOT being spent on? Well obviously money to quarantine, stop flights from ebola ridden countries OR set the protocols that liberals claimed would keep ebola from ever reaching this country!

 

[teapartysamurai]

Figures you lying liberals would have nothing to say to this.

Where are Obama's assurances Ebola would never make it to our shores?

 

[bodecea]

Origami condoms?

 

[bendog]

Most likely obesity will kill more americans than Ebola will.

 

[ogibillm]

if only the free market had been allowed to come up with a cure... we wouldn't have to rely on the nih.

 

[bendog]

why would Pfizer invest a hundred million on this disease? We want hard dicks and no arthritis. Seriously

but the free market... it'll save us. we all know that if the government would just get out of its way the free market would have already cured ebola.

Come back when you have a legitimate news source, son.

Most likely obesity will kill more americans than Ebola will.

The financial pain of the US not containing an outbreak will break your back.

Give stats all you want. I lived thru SARS in Toronto. Only 19 dead. Less than 300 suspected WHO declared the city off limits for the world issuing an international travel advisory.

Millions upon millions lost.

Keep joking about it. WHO will bring you to your knees like they did Toronto.

Get back to me on your obesity rates if you get an ebola pandemic.

 

[tinydancer]

I want you to really listen. WHO declared Toronto off limits to all that really needed to come to the city with only 19 dead.

They have the power to do so. It's an international advisory. That's all they have to issue.

International travel. Well kiss my ass goodbye. International conventions well kiss my ass good by. International tourism, well kiss my ass good bye.

Stop fucking around and at least make the whacko in the White House look like he cares.

It was Chretiens flippant manner combined with Ernie Eaves arrogance that brought down the hammer on TO.

The OP gets Medicaid, of course she expects the government to take care of her cradle to grave.

Wow, the Canadian economy was brought to its knees.

Is this why you guys are crying for a travel shutdown?

Not surprisingly, the travel advisory was controversial.[6] The advisory was lifted just a few days later on 30 April, when the last presumed SARS case was diagnosed.
SARS II
The SARS outbreak was believed to be over in early May 2003, when no new cases had been identified after two incubation periods. Consequently, the enhanced infection control practices that had been implemented were observed less strictly, along with the many rules concerning protective gear and limitations on hospital visitors and procedures. However, on 23 May public health officials announced that five people were under investigation for SARS, and this ultimately led to a second phase of the outbreak, “SARS II.” Infection control precautions were reinstituted and control of transmission was achieved promptly.[7]

Hey teapartysam. Did you read your own links?

Did you know the money for origami condoms was spent in...2006?

The texting study began in 2002.

What was that you were saying about liberals wasting money again?

 

[g5000]

Ebola has a lot of catching up to do to even get in the same ballpark.

 

[g5000]

The FDA has issued the following public advisory.

Symptoms of Ebolysteria:

1. Sudden bouts of irrational panic.

2. Fevered and delusional thinking.

3. Shit for brains.

4. Shit in pants.

5. Bullshit in mouth.

If you or anyone you know is displaying one or more of these symptoms, quarantine them and report to a course in Logic or Critical Thinking immediately.

WARNING: Fox News is a known vector of Ebolysteria. Other vectors may include Breitbart, infowars, CNS News, The Washington Times, Newsmax, and investors.com. If you have a weakened intellectual system, avoid contact with these potential sources of Ebolysteria. A strong correlation has also been found between Ebolysteria and Obama Derangement Syndrome. If you suffer from ODS, avoid going out in public until the Eboloysteria epidemic has passed.

Give most bureaucrats of any stripes and colors power over budgets, and things like this tends to happen. Sure 'conservative' bureaucrats waste money in their own way too.

 

[teapartysamurai]

The OP gets Medicaid, of course she expects the government to take care of her cradle to grave.

I do????????

No I don't! I'm on private healthcare right now, thank you!

But it's funny, that when the government is shown to be a failure in the cradle to grave department you blame the other side for that thinking!

 

[teapartysamurai]

It's pretty funny that liberals made a big deal of Katrina even though there was no danger of it spreading to any other part of the country but on this big failure, they think it's outrageous that we take note.

The fact is Obama said it wouldn't come and even if it did they could handle it.

Fact is, IT DID COME, Obama is NOT handling it, and he refuses to take the slightest protocol to contain it.

 

[teapartysamurai]

why would Pfizer invest a hundred million on this disease? We want hard dicks and no arthritis. Seriously

but the free market... it'll save us. we all know that if the government would just get out of its way the free market would have already cured ebola.

How about just setting up some proper protocols like quarantines and stopping flights from countries where ebola is a serious problem??????????

You guys want to change the subject because you know Obama has completely failed on this and you can't deny it.
