The NIH awards $41.7 BILLION dollars of grants annually. That's billion, with a "B."

I realize that the grant in question in the most recent effort to smear Anthony Fauci is sickening, especially to dog owners (like me), but does anyone really believe that a $375K (which is 0.009 percent of the NIH's total grants awarded) made it anywhere close to someone at Fauci's level? It's also highly doubtful that anyone at NIH knew, or even should have known, what was going on at that lab.

Again, the grant itself is horrifying, but this is a really weak smear job.

Is it being suggested 375k is nothing and should be given out to just anyone?
