The federal agency headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci canceled a plan to start new tests of allergy medicine on dogs, according to a Republican senator and a nonprofit organization on Wednesday.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and Fauci were put under fire last year over federally funded experiments using dogs. At the time, documents suggested the agency spent $$1.7 million on animal experimentation between October 2018 and February 2019 that force-fed beagles an experimental drug for several weeks.
