united states had anything to do with the creation of the virus, do you believe that the national health institute and the world health organization, purposely withheld and lied about cobit and other dana function research? and i live one miles from ground, 0 the nursing home in kirkland, washington, and soc slomo and other uh, governors put elderly in homes to make it worse and get the numbers up. so yeah, i call him mister file to you because i agree with margaret taylor. green, he should lose his license and worse, he has a new book out called on call taking no responsibility for his emails that tell us exactly what you just said. he knew about this decades ago, and, you know, i doubt he brags about all the royalty you see, and a scientist collected. but instead, put the blame on trump for everything, even though he'd been signing off on money for dana function research long before trump was even elected. and his wife was the chief at the cyst officer at an i. so allow that all like bonnie and clyde, sorry to say center or from kentucky, rand paul was on to him. they just told josh holly it cam

during your 39 years at the helm of america's leading health research institute, a national institute of allergy and infectious diseases, you tackle some of the most serious health threats including aids, zika, a bola, sars-cov-2 on and covid-19. your leadership and service to republican and democratic administrations and all americans saved countless lives and resources. we owe you a debt of gratitude. while the evidence today points to covid-19 having originated from an animal market in china, the chinese, his party has blocked access to important information that could help confirm the origin of the virus. this committee should be doing more to fight for those answers, but instead is wasted significant time and taxpayer money fueling conspiracy theories and ignoring the importance of preparing for the next deadly pandemic. some gop members falsely claim you thickly broke into cia headquarters and the worst . others claim you committed crimes. america's adversaries like china, russia and iran love it when americans are divided and distracted. it provided fertile ground for the sprea

fauci, did the national institute of health fund the potentially dangerous, enhanced potential pandemic pathogens, gain of function, research at the wuhan institute of virology? >> i would not characterize it the way you did. the national institutes of health through a sub award to the wuhan institute of virology, funded research on the surveillance of and the possibility of emerging infections. i would not characterize it as dangerous gain of function research. i have already testified to that effect a couple of times. >> so, you're saying no, correct? in his main 16th -- in his main 16th 2024 testimony, the nih deputy director said, and i quote, "i can tell you that the failure of the wuhan institute n of virology to provide us with the data that we requested and the lab notebooks that we requested, certainly impeded our ability to understand what was really going on with the experiments that we have been discussing this morning. my question to you, dr. fauci, if the nih didn't inspect the wuhan institute of virology, and nih didn't receive the lab books and data from china and the re

want to use the regulatory powers of the department of health and human services, the fda, the department of justice, and the national institutesmifepristone. they want to enforce the comstock act, prohibit research, and become a task force and the white house. while the top of the gop ticket keeps calling women dumb, the supreme court keeps whittling away women's rights in the new presidential running mate jd vance has expanded the insults. vance has spent the past four years boosting his natural celebrity by gleefully insulting working women, childless women, and the spouses who love them, and basically every other person who might want children but can't. >> you have got state masculinity and no masculinity. that is not a win-win. if you bought into an idea that it is leah braving to go leave an a month old baby you have been had. when you go to the polls in this country as a parent, you should have more power. you should have more of an ability to speak your voice in our democratic republic than people who do not have kids. >> we are effectively run in the country via the democrats and corporate oligarchs by a bunch of chil

the regulatory powers of the department of health and human services, the food and drug administration, and the department of justice and the national institutes of health to end access to mifepristone, prohibit stem cell research, and create, quote, pro-life task forces in -- a pro-life task force in the white house. there's also richard haninea, who helped contribute to project 2025. he's not a recognizable name, but he's a popular conservative activist with fans like jd vance, peter thiel, and elon musk, who just so happens to be a noted racist and sexist. the huffington post reported that he used a fake pen name to write articles and social media posts that expressed support for eugenics and forced sterilization of, quote, low-iq people, whom he argued were most often black. and he dreamed about a white awakening, which is when whites en masse realize they're superior to nonwhites and that they would be better off abandoning multiracial democracy for something resembling a whites-only ethnostate. while those guys are cooking up plans for how the government would work and who it would work for, john mcintee, trump's former body man and form

especially for the elderly. assistance is the basis of the national health project, special attention to the construction of medical institutionse clinics opened their doors. today, five regions of the country have connections with us, these are the smolensk, murmansk, rostov regions, the republic of tatarstan and crimea. today you have such institutions opening, it is very important for us that not only the infrastructure that we have today. will appear before you as new institutions, and before the eyes of your residents, but the medical care that will be provided in these institutions was effective and affordable. why is it so important to be able to get to the doctor quickly and easily? doctors note that the effectiveness of treatment increases significantly. if the hospital is far away, a person may delay the visit, miss an important consultation, and ultimately develop an illness. in a new or renovated clinic, the staff is more willing, although there are still more in the country. in just over a year, 700 new people got jobs specialists, the state pays great attention to disease prevention. it is the approaches of modern

national intelligence said last year, it's very unlikely a foreign adversary is responsible. but the dni also acknowledged some intelligence agencies had only low or moderate confidence in that assessment. recently, the national institutes of healthmedical science of so-called anomalous health incidents remains vigorously debated. for its part, the director of national intelligence says the symptoms probably resulthf pre-existing conditions, conventional instances and environmental factors. the attorney represents more than two dozen clients. what do you make of the intelligence community assessment? >> i have had access to classified information relating to ahi. i can't reveal it. i wouldn't reveal it. i will tell you that i don't believe it to be the entire story. i know of information that undermines or contradicts what they are saying publicly. >> are you saying that the government wants to cover this up? >> there is, in my view, without a doubt, evidence of a coverup. some of that is not necessarily that, we found a weapon and we don't want anybody to know about it. what i have seen more so is, we see lines of inquiry that would take us potentially to answers we don't want to have to deal with. so we're not going to explore

federal agencies to really be responsive to our communities, we've got to look at the national institute of health and wonder what they are doing. we have to look at the national institute of environmental health sciences because when dr. ken was there, let me tell you, environmental justice was on the agenda. that is no longer the case, and we need the institutes of health really addressing these issues because it's all about environmental and climate conditions impacting our health. >> i'm watching my time, we are 15 minutes away from dr. cornell west. you heard dr. fairchild mentioned earlier about the ways in which we need to connect this conversation to juneteenth. we will do that, preeminent scholar, i regard him as the dubois of our time. just to mention him a few times and conversations, he will be at this podium 15 minutes from now. there are a couple of things peggy just said. i believe our friend reverend jesse jackson, who peggy mentioned is watching right now in chicago, if you are watching, we love you, we are pulling for you, we are praying for you.

as the tools of genome was fun by the national institutes of health we have a system of open science that is why there is continuous technology transfer is nih funding and in order to recognize over here has done a phenomenal job digging into that it's really important that we live in a world of open science there's a lot of transfer of knowledge and capability and we haven't interested in collaborating with china and all sorts of areas on cancer care and agriculture and all these other things. but as david said if we are blind to the risks if we do not recognize that we did national security screens for these investments if we do not recognize nih does not have sufficient oversight to these investments even though they were relatively small we will play contributing roles in building the kinds of monsters we are trying to defend that is why we need to think a lot differently about our collaboration with china across the board and our recommendations we believe are an important step in that direction brick lecture point is an important one. it looks at protocol proposal. that was a r

in 1954 she received a grant from the national institutes of health to develop a small iron lung ventilatore experimented on newborn lambs keeping a flock of sheep at vanderbilt. after proving the effectiveness of her ventilator, dr. stahlman created the field of neonatology when she opened the first neonatal care unit. dr. stahlman, a nashville native, was a force of nature. when she saw newborn babies were dying on the long trip from rural areas to her nicu, she converted a bread truck into an ambulance with a ventilator and warming lamps. that truck was the first angel transport and a prototype for neonatal ambulances. in a bit of poetry, martha, who was saved by that experimental ventilator in 1961, grew up to become a neonatal nurse at the children's hospital at vanderbilt where she still works. dr. mildred "millie" stahlman, whose groundbreaking work has saved countless lives over the years, died last weekend at home in brentwood, tennessee. she was 101 years old. want a next level clean? swish with the whoa of listerine. it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning

released a report on the national crisis with recommendations for tackling it -- including increased funds to research the rise in black youth suicide. the national institute of mental healthnted millions of dollars for the effort. >> as a black person, as a youth , you must have these blinders on, just like a horse in a race. because you can't look left or right. you just have to keep forward. fred: maxie-cole notes her son died just two days after george floyd was murdered by police in minneapolis. she says living in a society rife with systemic and structural racism is like having a headache that never goes away. and, she says, a stereotype of endless resilience within the black community can be taxing. >> i'm so sick and tired of being black and got to be strong. be black and be a strong woman. you could survive. i'm tired. everything in this house represents struggle. it represents somebody who came from up and under. and i get that. i lean on that. but sometimes you get mad because it feels unfair. it's like, my child is dead. well, i still gotta be strong, you know? fred: after her son's death, maxie-cole created an organization, "soul survivors of chicago." she adv

the national institute of health says the sun's angle determines the intensity of the uv rays that aret right? for example if your shadow is taller than you, your exposure is lower. so try to be where you are having a tall shadow. look down and your shadow is shorter than you, around the middle, you are getting more uv ray exposure. so change your angle. does that mean you lean a little bit? oh, i have a short shadow. i need to lean. >> early this in the morning, late at night. that's when the sun angle is going to be a little bit longer and you will see your longer shadow. but peak daytime during the summer at least the sun is directly overhead and that's when the uvrys are strongest. and that's when the biggest concern is going to be especially when it comes to heat related illness today. and? san francisco, the we're looking at a little by of fog and maybe a little bit of smog to kick off this morning. and that's going to be kind of the name of the game. just along the coast. this is only going to be influencing our coastal communities. the rest of the interior of the bay area is go

according to the national institutes of health, nih, there are over 10,000 diseases that fit this definition impacting as many as 30 million americans. despite 10% of your population living with a rare disease, about 95% of these diseases lack treatments. most patients can't even begin to think about treatment until they are diagnosed which can be a long and costly journey only to discover the lipid treatments options if any. research and government and the therapist decide to treat rare diseases is challenging especially when it comes to measuring the safety and efficacy of drugs for smaller patient population making investments in a disease therapies risky and unpredictable. recognizing these will congress has taken numerous steps over the years to better support every stage along the drug approval pipeline. from supporting basic research to rare diseases and improving the process by which drugs seek and receive fda approval for rare disease indications to ensuring that payers like medicaid and medicare will cover these treatments when they come to market. for example, congress authorized

representative of ukraine to the eu, 80th year council member, director of the national institute for strategic studies, good healthcities and acquaintance, mr. andriy vasylovskyi, thank you for joining us, thank you, and good, good evening, mr. mykola. good health, mr. andrii, look, i'm talking about africa, not so much about sudan and egypt, well , we will return to the horn of africa, and this is what it means, burkina faso, mali, niger created a confederation, what, what, what these, what they want, these people , that what they need, that they threw out the french, as far as i understand, and invited the russians, and made a confederation, and now they are asking russia. weapons, is it something serious, or as always, changeable, as is often the case in africa? please, mr. andriy, it is changing, it is a process, it did not start yesterday, it started several years ago, seriously, great, but it has been moving for the last 10 years, at least that part of what was called the french west. africa, or from the west, further to equatorial africa, is a huge massif, perhaps a third of the african continent, which was

nation's fight against covid. those years fighting the pandemic were the capstone to nearly four decades of service to public service and public health. he led the national institutes as the leading infectious disease expert, advising seven presidents, facing down two global pandemics, covid and aids and his contributions saved millions of lives. being at the center of public crises made him what he calls a political lightning rod, a figure who represents hope to so many and evil to some, beyond my control, i became, he writes, a symbol of the provide divisiveness in our country. dr. fauci explains it in his memoir "on call, a doctor's journey in public service." dr. anthony fauci is here with me now. it's great to see you again. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> the book is extraordinary. it tells the narrative of an amazing career of public service. i want to start with the contrast between presidents whom you have served, most obviously president biden and former president trump. you worked with president biden. you called him a no nonsense vice president, guided by integrity and empathy and a president actively inviting back and forth nonsense vice preside

national ownian graphic and spheric association. the federal reserve board. the national institutes of health, among others. i think we need to take a step back and re-evaluate whether arming the bureaucracy is the best way to ensure our laws are enforced. federal agencies should be able to demonstrate their need for armed personnel and absent such a demonstration should rely on and partner with local, state, or federal law enforcement when there is a need for armed protection. critics may claim my amendment would put the e.p.a. personnel at risk of harm. they would be wrong. my amendment does not prohibit the e.p.a. from using funds to provide security for its personnel or property. it does not prohibit training of e.p.a. security or law enforcement personnel, either. my amendment would prohibit funding for the e.p.a.'s armed and militarized agents who have a history of intimidating americans by conducting aggressive raids and begin to address the troubling trend of militarization in our federal agencies. i urge my colleagues to support my amendment. i reserve. the chair: the gentleman refreshes. for what

the first law said to national institutes of health, break down all the silos at nih and all of your stitutes. you all have information on the brain and you don't even share that information on the brain. the institute on aging is not shav sharing with infectious diseases. put together a plan to find the cure by 2025. and i was leading in the house. that was my bill. senator collins was doing it in the senate. it was her bill. that became the law in 2011. but we realized by 2014 that a vision without funding is a hallucination. right now in our country between medicare and medicaid, our country spends the equivalent of one-third of the defense budget's money every single year just on alzheimer's patients. one-third of the defense budget. by the year of 2050 at the pace of which alzheimer's is advancing, the alzheimer's budget in our country will equal the defense budget, because no one is saying that grandma shouldn't have a nursing home bed. so finding a cure is absolutely not an option. and so in 2014 we passed another law and that law said that each year the nih has to tell the sen

the national institute of mental health put out a call for researchers to begin in this area. so you know we have room for growth. it also depends on what kids have experienced. so if you have a suicide loss in your family, then you actually need to start talking about it much sooner. it's really not a good idea to. keep secrets from children, even children as young as four or five, they hear things and you don't actually always know what heard. and so again if you talk to them honestly, you're basically forcing them to just deal with whatever they heard on their own. and that's problem. there's great out their duties house and the duty center are two places that help people figure out how to talk to children about grief and loss and even specifically murder and suicide. they have wonderful resources. some are like art resources, developmentally appropriate. and so one of the just brief take home things that they recommend is that you let the child lead the conversation. so you let the child ask anything they want. you're always honest but you don't provide any more informatio

national health billing targets. as you say, we are likely to see the establishment of these two new institutions, gb energy on one handional wealth fund on the other. both of which are intended to invest alongside the private sector, especially in terms of renewable energy because labour has a commitment to have 100% green electricity by 2030. i think we are likely to see a reform of apprenticeships and the skill system which hasn't been working very well now and will be crucial for the economic future. will be crucialfor the economic future. in will be crucial for the economic future. in terms of hard planning _ economic future. in terms of hard planning targets, - economic future. in terms of hard planning targets, that l economic future. in terms of| hard planning targets, that is quite a big policy that labour has had, and like you say, rachel reeves has been rather vocal about that. housebuilder stocks as well as doing quite well off the back of it. they rose on the day, we got the election results through. will that trickle through quite quickly in terms of growth? how are ordinary people going to see the result

another study by american scientists from the national institutes of health, they studied the umbilicalivity. doctor, is this really because ? that their mothers took paracetamol during pregnancy, there are special works and a special disclaimer about this, because this was raised on the shield and there is quite bad ethically processed data, now he specifically writes about this that no, this is not so, both for pregnant women and accordingly, for their babies, short-term courses of paracetamol are quite possible, but aspirin is harmful to them, paracetamol is possible, but again... what do you mean by, if she has, i don’t know, rhegmatoid arthritis, it’s the key to more, she takes a handful of paracitamol throughout pregnancy, this is one situation, if you don’t have a headache, then the safest thing to do is drink paratama. an unusual study on the effect of paracetamol on the human psyche was conducted by scientists from agaya university. they gave the first group one gram of paracetamol, the second - a placebo. and an hour later they asked me to read stories where the main character

national health service, labour does have plans for increased investment but it's pretty small — talking abouti billion or 2 billion. that's not much. ..when it's a budget of 200 billion a year, it's not much. the instituteis a tiny amount of money. what wes streeting would say is, he would say, "look, "the health service is a service, it's not a shrine "and you can'tjust chuck money at it, you've got "to reform it" and, indeed, that is very much the view in the rachel reeves shadow chancellor team, the shadow treasury team, that you'd have to have reform. british politics have always been fairly stable — i mean, there have been blips here and there — and there's been a major blip, of course, since 2016. but basically, the ship rights itself, doesn't it? it becomes boring and stable and heads in pretty much the same direction as the predecessors did. is that what's going to happen? well, in a sense, the reason why you would have stability in the british system is because of the first—past—the—post electoral system, which is 656 constituencies, you just get to get a cross against one candidate and whoever gets the most votes, they win. and that does provide stability when fundamentally you have a two—part
