Dr. Francis Collins Resurfaces as Biden’s ‘Science Adviser’ After Retiring amid Scandal
Dr. Francis Collins has rejoined President Biden’s team as a “science adviser” after retiring late last year from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) amid scandal.
Collins will rejoin Biden’s team following Dr. Eric Lander’s resignation as “science adviser” after “bullying his colleagues” in violations of the White House’s workplace policy,” the New York Times reported. After the revelations came to light, Lander promptly apologized and subsequently resigned.
Collins’ recurring proximity to the White House perhaps speaks to how much administrative state knowledge Collins possesses after working as the NHI for 12 years.
Collins, 71, retired in early October from the NIH amid a political scandal. Just after his retirement, molecular biologist Richard H. Ebright published a letter from the NIH showing that the NIH’s grant money funded gain of function research in communist China’s Wuhan lab. – READ MORE
