ARPA-H to Be Within NIH but Independently Managed by HHS
After lobbying efforts from lawmakers and science advisors, the new, DARPA-like biomedical research agency will be a part of the National Institutes of Health, but its director will report directly to the secretary of Health and Human Services.
Apr 1, 2022
Following a lengthy deliberation process, US health secretary Xavier Becerra determined on Wednesday (March 30) that a new high-risk, high-reward biomedical research agency known as ARPA-H will be part of the National Institutes of Health, STAT reports.
In early March, Congress passed the 2022 US spending bill, which included $1 billion of funds for the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency intended to accelerate the pace of biomedical research. The bill gave the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), of which the NIH is a part, the power to decide whether the new agency would be independent or part of the existing institution. This led to a lobbying campaign by several policymakers and researchers to separate the agency from the NIH, which they say is bureaucratic and slow-moving, STAT reported earlier this week.

Important excerpt:
Last year, President Joe Biden called for the creation of the ARPA-H as a biomedical research version of the military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is known for risky projects and “blue-sky” thinking.
Oh goody – yet another scary government agency that’s going to do risky stuff with our tax-dollars.
Biden intends to appoint Dr. Reenee Wegrzyn, a former scientist with DARPA, as the inaugural director of ARPA-H. Her specialties are synthetic biology, genetic engineering and data collection through biosurveillance. ARPA-H will be a swarming hive for Transhumanist scientists and projects. It will also likely heavily fund and promote mRNA “vaccines”- particularly for cancer.
The direct DARPA connection to HARPA underscores that the agenda behind this coming agency dates back to the failed Bio-Surveillance project of DARPA’s Total Information Awareness program (TIA), which was launched after the events of September 11, 2001. It’s all under the auspice of detecting “normal” disease outbreaks, and harvesting data through the mass use of wearable or handheld technology, which is currently being used by the military for “returning to work safely,” from COVID. These Darpa programs were shut down due to controversy that they’d be used to profile domestic dissidents and eliminate privacy, something the WEF also states we will no longer have, but we’ll be happy about.
“Darpa’s past total surveillance dragnet is coming back to life under a supposedly separate health-focused agency…” Source
To make this all more palatable to the public, they’ve merely distanced themselves from the Department of Defense (DOD), and have become privatized, however the military is still heavily involved behind the scenes. Go here for how FB, Google, Silicon Valley, Amazon, Palantir, and politics are all involved.
The CDC, HHS, and FDA, all of which are government health agencies, are all a disgrace and have been caught red-handed withholding and skewing data, abandoning science, lying, paying the media, and have finally been exposed for the corrupt, captured agencies they have always been. And while the CDC has announced plans to revamp the agency, this move is for all the wrong reasons. According to an article the U.S. is on course to become a ‘digital dictatorship’ under a proposed biomedical research agency.
The signs have been on the wall for some time regarding this new agency. The mishandling of the COVID debacle is being used to further a deeper, darker agenda which includes merging national health security with public health, a frightening concept that spells doom for medical freedom. Taking a research agency and modeling it after a military agency should send shivers down all of our spines.
Some state NIH is too “conservative” to support the initiative, and that ARPA-H will likely hire program managers on short-term contracts who will solicit research ideas and fund fast-paced, high-risk projects meant to accelerate the development of medical treatments almost immediately.
As it is, medical treatments have already been approved without proper oversight, with severe conflicts of interest, and far too quickly – bypassing testing that would have revealed glaring problems with efficacy and safety, among other issues.
Imagine what this new agency could do.
US Health Secretary Zavier Becerra states ARPA-H will be physically separate. “We need to make sure it’s not anchored or tethered to doing things an older way,” Becerra said.
Is this code for even less accountability and oversight as well as being hidden away from prying eyes?
While Congress gave $1 BILLION this year to ARPA-H, Biden is asking for $5 billion for ARPA-H in 2023. Biden has also requested $62.5 BILLION to prepare the US for future pandemics and biological threats.
And speaking of Federal funding, we learn that $450 BILLION has been stolen from the U.S. COVID Economic Relief Program, and as outrageous as this fact is, more than three TRILLION has disappeared between March 2021 and Jan. 2022. Together, the Trump and Biden Administrations approved a minimum of $4,100,000,000,000 in COVID-19 relief funding, of which $3.21 trillion has already been spent and is not retrievable. Please see the link for a breakdown of where your tax dollars actually went. You will be surprised. 15,000 contracts received millions including Pfizer and Merck – COVID injection manufacturers.
Important excerpts:
Clearly, the mind-boggling amount of taxpayer dollars, and the numbers of federal agencies and millions of awards and recipients involved, accounts for the government’s unlimited ability to propagandize and saturate every segment of American society with the ongoing “official” COVID-19 narrative, every hour of every day, week, month, and year.
It is now known that the federal government made secret direct payments and loans to nearly all major corporate media outlets at a cost of $1 billion to the taxpayer. In return, these media outlets pushed only the government narrative that the COVID-19 vaccine was “safe and effective,” while censoring any negative narratives on the dangers and ineffectiveness of the vaccine.
We also know today that physicians in the United States have received financial “incentives” from the federal government if they are willing to give the COVID-19 “vaccine” and booster shots. Forty-dollars is given to a compliant physician for every COVID-19 jab and booster he administers.[9] This means $120 for every patient that receives three injections.
- Primary care doctors have 1,200-2,500 regular patients
- Using 1,800 patients, doctors stood to make about $216K in extra income if they got their patients to get 3 COVID shots.
As the author astutely states: Money talks, walks, and buys SILENCE even in matters of life and death.
Another contentious point about the creation of a “physically” separate government agency in charge of “risky” research is the fact the NIH already keeps taxpayers in the dark regarding how their money is being spent. Only through FOIA requests have we learned that Fauci is the highest paid U.S. government employee. The agency is not complying with open records law and most of the information they give is highly redacted. And now – they are adding an even more secretive agency.
It appears that millions are being made not only directly from the Federal government, but from other shady foreign business dealings involving none other than Hunter Biden, the current president’s son, through Metabiota (also working with CIA-front In-Q-Tel, funded by the DOD, NIH, Gates Foundation, Google, and National Geographic Society), Peter Dansak’s EcoHealth Alliance, (the group Fauci used to funnel money to the Wuhan Lab – circumventing a moratorium on “gain of function” research), and the Wuhan Laboratory of Virology. This triad was performing research on infectious diseases derived from Chinese bats. It recently came out that the U.S. has funded biolabs in the Ukraine and all the dots are finally making sense, but is of course explicitly denied by corrupt government officials.
It’s not shocking to discover that the new FDA chief, who has made millions as a Big Pharma consultant, has made fighting “misinformation” his top priority, or that the Feds have given tech companies until May 2, 2022 to “turn over COVID misinformation.” Biden first revealed details of the plan during his State of the Union address:
“In addition to demanding misinformation data from the tech platforms, the surgeon general called on healthcare providers and the public to submit information about how COVID-19 misinformation has negatively influenced patients and communities.
“‘We’re asking anyone with relevant insights — from original research and data sets to personal stories that speak to the role of misinformation in public health — to share them with us,’” Murthy said.”
The government is already telling privately owned companies what to do – particularly with regard to what they call ‘misinformation’, defined as ‘information that is false, inaccurate, or misleading according to the best available evidence.’
In case you missed it, Big Tech has already been censoring and shutting down accounts that disagree with what the government is peddling, which includes their own infective treatments and injections they erroneously call “vaccines.”
Our own government is guilty of ‘misinformation’ but has gotten away with it because they hold the power. They have lied about the origins of COVID, the effectiveness of masks, testing, actual case counts of COVID, that there are cheap, effective treatments, the true cause of COVID death, and on the effectiveness and safety of the COVID injection, which they own half the patent on.
While the U.S. General states that, “health misinformation is an urgent threat to public health. It can cause confusion, sow mistrust, and undermine public health efforts, including our ongoing work to end the COVID-19 pandemic,” they in fact are the ones repeatedly sowing misinformation and by keeping life-saving treatment from sick people so they can push their own lucrative treatments and injections.
