The National Institutes for Health must really have it in for beagles.
It wasn’t enough that the agency, through Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, drugged beagle pups and let sand flies eat them alive.
Now, we learn from the White Coat Waste Project, NIH used the lovable canines in cocaine experiments. The money came from NIH’s drug-abuse subsidiary.
Granted, that’s not as bad as the government using human beings to test vaccines against the China Virus, but still…
A bipartisan group of congressmen, understandably, wants answers. On February 4, they wrote a letter to Dr. Nora Volkow, head of the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
$2.5 Million Spent
The documents released by WCW say the beagles were “dosed by intravenous infusion.” The cocaine was “administered via a surgically implanted vascular access port using a programmable infusion pump carried in a jacket or backpack worn by each animal.”
Translated from the jargon, that means the beagles wore jackets that could inject them regularly without the need for researchers to do it. Understandably, they might recoil from dosing beagle pups with cocaine.
Each dog was “instrumented with a surgically implanted telemetry unit” to monitor vital signs such as body temperature and blood pressure, the testing documents say.
“Through this special drug-injecting jacket, puppies were dosed with cocaine again and again and again for months, along with an ‘experimental compound,’ to see how the two drugs interacted,” WCW reported:
The experiment, which ran from September 2020 to September 2021 (with a report due May 2022), was filmed, so experimenters could see if the puppies had any “adverse reactions” to the drugs. Prior to being drugged, the dogs were also forced to undergo surgery, where they were implanted with a “telemetry unit” to monitor their vital signs throughout the experiment.
At the end of the experiment, the ‘coke hounds’ were either killed or “recycled” — meaning they were shipped off to be used in other wasteful, cruel, and unnecessary experiments.
NIDA ran the experiment twice at a cost to taxpayers of $2.3 million.
The same outfit involved in poisoning and “de-barking” beagle pups for Fauci’s NIAID, SRI International, received the contract for the cocaine experiments. But because SRI “didn’t have the correct equipment, however, they outsourced their experiments to Charles River Laboratories — the same organization that ‘maintains’ the monkeys of Morgan Island, so they can be used in wasteful and cruel NIH experiments,” WCW reported.
That island in South Carolina ships monkeys to labs to be infected with the Ebola, Lassa, and Nipah viruses. They are also injected with the China Virus and tuberculosis.
Letter From Congress
“The documents state that the supposed purpose of the cocaine experiments on puppies was to generate a report that ‘may be submitted by NIDA to the [Food and Drug Administration],’” the congressmen wrote:
However, the FDA itself has recently indicated that it “does not mandate that human drugs be studied in dogs.” Nevertheless, despite the FDA’s assertion, these NIDA documents state that, “this study is required by a relevant government regulatory agency.”
We are concerned that NIDA is spending tax dollars on dog testing that is cruel, costly, outdated and that the FDA has claimed is unnecessary.
Understandably, the congressmen want to know why, if FDA “does not require dog testing for new drugs,” NIDA is still testing drugs on puppies.
Among the signers are conservative stalwart Matt Gaetz of Florida and radical leftist Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
WCW has been uncovering the cruel, wasteful animal experiments for some time, as The New American reported in October.
Fauci’s agency, for instance, subsidized experiments in Tunisia that involved permitting sandflies to eat beagle pups alive. “The experimenters starved the flies so they’re hungry and ‘the sand flies were then allowed to feed on the sedated dogs,” WCW reported:
The sickos also locked beagles alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights to use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies.
Fauci’s outfit spent $799,000 to torture the pups.
