"A good example would be an Alzheimer's drug that was approved…I looked at all of the data, and it did not show benefit whatsoever. But it was approved, and it was approved mainly because the behemoth behind it was the one pushing it through, not the scientists at the university.

And they ended up taking it off the market because they couldn't show post-marketing benefits, and only adverse events. But these sorts of things happen regularly.

Our government is another component of that because, with the example of Moderna, they partnered with the NIH. So, what a lot of people don't know is the revenue with the mRNA vaccines for COVID is split in a way that 40% of it goes to the NIH.

Now, does the taxpayer get any of that? No, the NIH does. The other 60% goes to Moderna so they can develop another version of it." - Dr. Lynn Fynn
