2. Yes, it was NIH-funded research.

Dr. Fauci does not head the NIH, or dictate where all their research funds are spent. This is just more of their "guilt by association" bullshit.

A lot of research is done on animals.
You would not have many medications and vaccines otherwise.

Fauci had essentially nothing to do with preliminary safety testing of any vaccines.
Whether the testing on dogs thing is accurate or not, association with Fauci is fake.
It's willful disinformation.
Does that alleviate your angst?

using 44 Beagles and had something to do with sand fleas/flies

Edit: I checked it out on the internet, lots of articles The Hill, Newsweek, National Review etc. These kind of things go thru so many channels it's hard to tell who ultimately has all the say in giving final approval.
