Senator Rand Paul has released a report detailing $15 million in taxpayer funds allocated for controversial cat experiments conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense (DOD). The report highlights that approximately $10.85 million of this funding was specifically directed towards experiments involving electroshock and brain mutilation. Paul has raised concerns about the ethical implications of these studies, questioning why the U.S. government continues to finance such practices. He also alleges that former NIH director Anthony Fauci circumvented the Safety Committee to secure funding for the Wuhan Lab and has accused him of lying during congressional hearings.
