“My amendment No. 33 prohibits funding for the John E. Fogarty International Center saving approximately $95 million. Our Nation is over $33 trillion in debt, with an expected annual deficit this year of nearly $2 trillion. We need to find innovative ways to reduce spending. While many would consider this small potatoes, we must begin with the most blatant violations of the public trust, and that is what we consider this. My amendment builds off of President Trump's first budget request, which called for eliminating the Fogarty International Center. According to their website, the Fogarty International Center is dedicated to advancing the mission of the National Institutes of Health by supporting and facilitating global health research conducted by the U.S. However, the center emphasizes a perverted view of ``global health equity'' and partners with the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization is a corrupt organization that worked with the Chinese Communist Party to cover up the origins of the COVID- 19 pandemic. The Fogarty Center should not be working with the World Health Organization. Moreover, a large amount of the grants funded by the Fogarty International Center are counterproductive to our interests. One such egregious project that received funds in the Philippines is titled: Stigma Reduction and Gender Affirmation to Promote HIV Prevention/Testing in Trans Women. That is what your tax dollars are being used for.…”
