Research Nonprofit Shutters TB Vaccine Effort and Lays Off Scientists

Hey BILL GATES - this is happening in your back yard! Do something dude.

So much money in that area. Bill Gates, here’s something to support...

Non profits are notoriously profitable for their self-serving executive leadership (protected class) supported by a carefully curated board that rubber stamps the fraud.

Attention billionaires: funding the continuation of this worthy endeavor is a great opportunity to give back.

Time for some of the big Seattle tech billionaires to step up? Where is Bill Gates, with his malaria and TB program?

Did this group know that they were going to shut down when they took the $46 million dollars a few weeks ago; sounds like President Obama’s Celendra; mind the spelling, but you get the point. Wasted money on fat incomes and little work.

Works for a non profit. Gets paid over 300K/year, plus bonuses of 20k. Gee I wonder why they went broke. Seems a misnomer to me when a 'non profit', only exists to enrich the owners.

Maybe Michael Bloomberg’s millions (or any other superrich-wannabe-a US President’s) could be better spent actually helping untold numbers of people through this research, instead of mere self-aggrandizement.

This highlights the problem with Federal salaries being capped at the pay of Congress $174k. Which seems like a huge amount to those without a college degree living in Rest of USA, maybe making $50,000 on multiple pay from multiple family members. But when you can’t pay Researchers with MD’s and PhDs more than a GS-15/10 plus a $10k Medical Bonus, then that is capped at $174k. Then if we look at the Federal Classification regulations a GS-15/10 a topped out Division or Office Director who supervises a bunch of experts, not the researcher. Maybe you can get away with a 14 expert but most likely only GS-13/10 plus 10k. So that only is $140k not enough pay. Especially, not with $200k plus in debt from Medical school and or graduate school. The costs of Maintaining and operating a true BSL3 labratory which is the level of lab needed for Hansen’s Disease, and TB is high. You just can not put these Labs in an office park. It cost about 300-400 times more to build this type of lab space. I answered so many congressional inquiries explaining that no we could not just use the lab case work like they do in a High school Lab. No you can not put a window air conditioner in a BSL-2 lab let alone BLS-3. Well they opened the windows at the one in Anchorage, that is why we requested a replacement for 20 plus years!

Cutoff financing for research? Sounds familiar to the Illuminati long range plan to elliminate half of the earth population from below on with natural pandemics. Just see The Family in Netflix and read a couple of books related to the illuminati power in USA and other countries lika Russia, China and India, and get yourself your own idea about it.

"Financing tuberculosis vaccines had shrunk in recent years to better coordinate different funding groups" --- what?

I've worked at several financially troubled non-profits and have marveled at the lack of meaningful oversight by the board at every one of them. Board members in each case failed to see or ignored what was obvious to staff - that leadership and management were seriously lacking. In each case, the CEO was given pass after pass for terrible management, resulting in program cuts and layoffs that stymied the ultimate mission of the place. To staff, board meetings often seem to be excuses for cronies to get together, have a nice meal and talk about their boats and golf games. See Theranos.
