$22 Million in Taxpayer Funds Exposed: Biden Admin’s Shocking Fetal Tissue Experiments NIH pledges not to renew the projects after public outcry, but the battle over taxpayer-funded experiments is far from over
Efforts to rein in the “mad scientist” culture fostered under President Joe Biden and Dr. Anthony Fauci are gaining traction, with new revelations about taxpayer-funded experiments involving aborted baby body parts and animals.
According to a recent investigation by the White Coat Waste Project (WCW), the Biden administration’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) advanced 17 grants—totaling roughly $22 million—for animal experiments using aborted human tissue. These grants worked against a 2019 Trump-era ban meant to curb such research.
“For years, White Coat Waste has been fighting to ensure taxpayers aren’t forced to foot the bill for nightmarish NIH experiments that crudely implant fingers, scalps, and other human fetus parts into animals,” WCW founder Anthony Bellotti said. “Thanks to our newest investigation exposing active Biden-era funding for these sickening animal experiments—and to swift action from the Trump administration—they won’t be.”
The NIH responded to Breitbart News, acknowledging the controversy and pledging not to renew the Biden-era grants. “NIH takes this issue very seriously and remains committed to the highest ethical standards in research,” the agency said. “We are actively reviewing these matters and will take all necessary steps to ensure our policies reflect that commitment.”
While the Trump-appointed NIH Director, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, underscored a focus on “valuing human life,” many of the controversial projects approved under Biden were said to trace back to Fauci before his 2022 retirement. Some were funded through 2026.
Not everyone welcomed the shift. Hideyuki Okano, president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), defended fetal tissue research as a “cornerstone of biomedical progress since the 1930s.” He credited the practice with advances in studying infertility, neurodegenerative diseases, and even vaccine development for illnesses ranging from polio to COVID-19. He argued the work is carried out under a “robust ethical and legal framework.”
Critics in Congress were less convinced. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), who has grilled Fauci’s funding of “humanized” animal experiments during House hearings, blasted the revelations on X: “We can’t allow degenerate mad scientists to engage in this immoral behavior. Thank you to @WhiteCoatWaste for exposing these horrific experiments.”
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the fight over taxpayer-funded experiments involving aborted human tissue is far from over—and remains a sharp dividing line between the Trump and Biden approaches to medical research.
