Oo, that looks like something I should get. Thanks, Suela.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mostly universities, I think.
Universities do the research, but it's mostly federal money, no?

I know they tend to run the studies, but do they actually fund them? University researchers and professors generally bring research money in from outside.

I think it's NIH.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oh sorry, misunderstood the question.

And I'm pretty sure the Alzheimer's Association is the largest non-government funder of Alzheimer's research, but I don't know how much drug research is a part of that.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So the rabidly anti-vax nutwhack in my fb circle now has to deal with an outbreak of whooping cough in her kid's school. I don't want or need the drama of pointing out "YOUR FAULT, BITCA", so I'll just be petty and vent it here.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
does her child have whooping cough?

Ah, that makes sense. As does your point about the Alzheimer's Association, that various groups would fund research into specific diseases.
Oh sorry, misunderstood the question.
No worries.

Oy amych, but yes, no benefit to pointing it out to her.
