WCW Exposé: Fauci Spent $424K on Beagle Experiments, Dogs Bitten to Death by Flies

30 July 2021 | Blog


White Coat Waste Project shocked the world when we first exposed how Anthony Fauci’s division at the National Institutes of Health shipped tax dollars to the treacherous Wuhan Animal Lab and how it conducts the most painful animal experiments in the federal government.


Fauci’s 2021 budget was $6 BILLION (!!!) of taxpayers’ hard-earned money and roughly half of that—likely more—was wasted on animal experiments….including this nasty one our investigators just uncovered:

According to documents that we just obtained using the Freedom of Information Act (documents available below), Fauci just spent $424,000 to commission a study in which healthy beagles are given an experimental drug and then intentionally infested with flies that carry a disease-causing parasite that affects humans.

Records show that the dogs were “vocalizing in pain” during the experiments.

At the end of the ongoing experiment, the dogs will all be killed.

What’s worse is that this is all COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

Experimenters admit this investigational drug, “has been extensively tested and confirmed…in different animal models such as mice…Mongolian gerbils…and rhesus macaques….”

There’s literally no excuse for Fauci to waste more than $400,000 of your tax dollars on abusing dogs.

These aren’t the only sick experiments on dogs that Fauci has funded. In 2016, WCW exposed how his NIH division was wasting tax dollars to buy beagle puppies and strapping capsules full of infected flies to their bare skin. Here’s an actual photo from their lab:
