    Because the Chinese Government get a big fat paycheck out of it and they use that paycheck to fucking destroy people’s lives, put people in labor camps, topple governments, monetize every facet of everyone’s lives, and push their own authoritarian regime’s agenda.

    Breast cancer does not only affect women, but I feel empathy for the Uighur women that China has been sterilizing and putting in slavery.





  • Not all of it, only a part of it. MD Anderson Cancer Research Center is and has always been a part of Private Sector Research.

    The Office of Research Administration (ORA) is the central office responsible for the support of activities related to research, including internal funding, private industry funding, material transfer agreement and endowed awards. ORA also provides research infrastructure oversight as it relates to offsite freezer storage, research glassware and media facilities.

    ORA serves as the authorized signing official for MD Anderson for execution of private industry and material transfer agreements. Through the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), ORA supports the application and administration of pre-award federal funding and external funding, including the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). ORA also manages several internal endowed awards that recognize the achievements of MD Anderson faculty and researchers. The endowments which support these awards were established through the generosity of philanthropic donors, including several MD Anderson Board of Visitors members.

    Last year it generated 12.8 Billion dollars in revenues.


  • I’ve been thinking about starting up a materials company that produces various grades of silicon and purified gasses in the USA, but I would need a small loan of a million dollars and about 2 years of operations startup to really go anywhere with it. Do you think I could crowdfund it if I published some of the planning materials?

    Yunhai Li, 35, was originally detained at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston in on July 9 after federal agents found medical records on his laptop during an inspection ahead of his flight to China, according to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.

    Now Houston prosecutors have charged the researcher with theft of trade secrets, which is a third-degree felony, and tampering with a government record, a misdemeanor. He could also face federal charges in the future.

    Since 2022, the MD Anderson Cancer Center had employed Li where he was working on a vaccine to prevent breast cancer from spreading, the New York Post reported.

    Li reportedly was working on a scholar exchange visa from the U.S. Department of State. The National Institutes of Health and the Defense Department was funding the research.

    Yeah, Breast cancer sucks, but the Chinese Government is a much bigger existential threat and their spies should be properly made example of.
