LAWS ARE FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE: Not the Cabinet VIP’s in the Biden administration filling the National Institutes for Health (NIH) bureaucracy with government loyalists. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) appears to have just plain ignored a law passed by Congress and signed by President Barack that required 14 NIH Director slots, including the now-formerly occupied by Anthony Fauci, by a date certain in 2021.

When Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee began asking more than a year ago for documentation of those appointments, Becerra and his minions at HHS and NIH slow-walked or ignored the requests. Finally in June, documents were provided that clearly show Becerra ignored the law.

Significant? Well, if the appointments were done contrary to the law, odds are every decision made by each of the appointees was made without legal authority, including the decisions to award nearly $26 billion in research grants, among which were several to Eco-Health of Wuhan fame. Also every contract approved by the illegal appointees, every personnel decision, including hiring and firing, and every policy-making decision.

In other words, NIH now faces the prospect of having to redo pretty much everything since December 13, 2021. That will be spelled C-H-A-O-S. As a Republican aide told journalists earlier today, “it’s unprecedented.”
