Mostly universities, I think.
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.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

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.

Stupid antivax dumbass.
I just had cold fried chicken for breakfast. So filled with salty protein goodness.

does her child have whooping cough?
(BTW, can I say this kind of shit gets me angrier than just about anything. I fucking hate easily preventable potential tragedy).

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.

Holy cow, so tempting.
Can you just post the link to that webpage showing how many people Jenny McCarthy has killed, without commentary?
... I guess not.

Actually when I think about it, most of the recent cases of whooping cough in my friendship circle have been among the parents, not the kids. That's probably due to vaccination of the kids. One friend had it when she was pregnant and said it was agony.
