We'll continue to fund research. Hopefully we'll fund honest research. Part of the problem we have in science, part of the reason they're able to create this fear, is Science has been corrupted thoroughly. If the Chinese government isn't paying for the medical journals, if the pharmaceutical companies aren't paying for it, if they're not paying for their studies, it's Anthony Fauci getting the results he wants, or it's climate alarmists getting the results they want. When you fund research, you get the result you want. This is well known. We can't replicate the data on. There was a study in, I think, Nature magazine. (38:52–39:11)
