White House: Yes, Biden DID fund transgender animal experiments
After President Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday night, establishment media tried to push back on a specific claim about experiments on “transgender” mice funded by American taxpayers.
In response, the White House hit back at the president’s detractors.
“The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check [the president’s statement], but President Trump was right (as usual),” noted White House staff in a press release.
The referenced CNN story, without a byline, claimed, “In his speech, just under one hour and 40 minutes, Trump also made a number of false claims about his predecessor, Joe Biden.”
The White House included links to specific information at the website of the National Institutes of Health about federally funded experiments on animals, including:
- $455,000: “A Mouse Model to Test the Effects of Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy on HIV Vaccine-induced Immune Responses”
- $2,500,000: “Reproductive Consequences of Steroid Hormone Administration”
- “These mice manifest defects in ovarian architecture and have altered folliculogenesis.”
- $299,940: “Gender-Affirming Testosterone Therapy on Breast Cancer Risk and Treatment Outcomes”
- “We will compare the incidences and tumor specific survival in female mice (intact) and oophorectomized female mice receiving TT with their respective counterparts that do not receive TT.”
- $735,113: “Microbiome mediated effects of gender affirming hormone therapy in mice”
- $1,200,000: “Androgen effects on the reproductive neuroendocrine axis”
- “Aim 2 utilizes transgenic mice to test whether male-level androgens acting via AR specifically in kisspeptin neurons are necessary and/or sufficient for androgen inhibition of in vivo LH pulse parameters, including pulse frequency, and the estrogen-induced LH surge.”
- $3,100,000: “Gonadal hormones as mediators of sex and gender influences in asthma”
- “We will study the contributions of estrogens to HDM-induced asthma outcomes using male and female gonadectomized mice treated with estradiol…”
The statement pointed out that the total cost of just the above referenced experiments is $8,290,053.
