The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by White House coronavirus response team member Dr. Anthony Fauci, allegedly has been funding an experiment in which male monkeys were subjected to feminizing hormone treatments, according to an animal rights organization.
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said NIAID paid around $205,562 to nonprofit Florida-based medical research facility Scripps Research to conduct the experiment, in which scientists expose male rhesus macaques to hormone therapy.
