Andrzejewski: So during the pandemic, I think the American people started to ask the question, "Just how close is big government to big pharma?”

Open The Books sued to try to get some of the hidden answers. That lawsuit unearthed 3,000 pages of royalty payments to NIH scientists from 2010 to 2021. During that time, 2,407 government scientists received $325 million in secretive royalty payments, averaging out to more than $135,000 each.

No wonder they went so hard against Ivermectin and HCQ, no payoff.

Yup. Bayh-Dole Act. Legalized payoffs. I remember first learning about this from an article that covered a time (about a decade ago?) when there was an effort to reform it, and both government employees and lobbyists MASSIVELY opposed it. The government said that without it, they couldn't hold on to scientists. And the lobbyists... well... it was a nice way to induce/bribe government employees legally, as the government employees would be named as co-developers of the patented materials/drugs, and receive a nice (or bigger) payout, if only the government employee helped them to get approval expeditiously. (ie, a thumb on the approval scale)
