NIH / NIAID / FAUCI
"I always try to communicate via Gmail because my NIH email is FOIA'd… I can't be FOIA'd on my personal email."
FDA's EUA statute requires a finding that no adequate approved alternatives exist before a vaccine can receive EUA. NIH held co-inventorship patents on the Moderna mRNA platform. Moderna settled for $400M to NIH. NIAID received $690M in royalties during the pandemic. Fauci's aide routed communications through personal Gmail to avoid FOIA. The press covered each of these facts separately. It never assembled the structure.
