The NIH received $325 million in royalties from pharmaceutical companies in 31 nations, including Chinese, Russian, and Belarusian entities. Among the recipients were former NIH director Dr. Francis Collins, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and thousands of others. For some context: The NIH allows inventors to receive up to $150,000 a year from royalties, and OpenTheBooks.com did not reveal how much money each of them received. NTD spoke to Anders Corr, Epoch Times contributor, publisher of The Journal for Political Risk, and the founder of Corr Analytics, about his concerns.
Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated the source of the abovementioned royalty payments. NTD regrets the error.
