Congressman Roy said: "From the earliest days of the pandemic,  public health bureaucrats proved themselves far more adept at ruining lives than saving them. Never again should a single, unaccountable government employee, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, wield unchecked power and influence over the lives of the American people.

Jay Bhattacharya is an excellent choice for NIH Director, and I support his efforts to regain trust in America's health agencies and promote healthcare freedom. However, we can't structure government on the assumption that we'll always have great people in office.

Breaking up Dr. Fauci’s taxpayer funded bully pulpit into three separate agencies — and requiring Senate confirmation for all their future directors — is one of many actions necessary to allow the American people to check government power and hold public health agencies accountable."

 

Congressman Griffith said: “As a senior member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the lead Energy and Commerce Member investigating COVID-19 origins, I aggressively pushed to examine the severe inadequacies pervading our public health institutions, such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Through my investigative work, it is clear to me that serious reforms are needed at NIH to resolve these inadequacies and restore Americans’ trust of our public health agencies. The NIH Reform Act is a critical measure to ensure proper agency oversight of biosafety and risky research projects and improve agency accountability to the American people.”
