Thanks!, perhaps to much detail with the 1st "pic"? Seems hard to make out what is says now at under 50kb? Or is it just on my end?

Not just on your end.

I don't have the program or the brain (forgot everything about picture editing) to make it smaller and still ok to read, maybe someone else can help.

Here's my salute to Francis Collins (NIH Director) who happily took credit for the research using the nanoneedle that found a blood marker for ME.
According to Janet Dafoe (wife of Ron Davis at Stanford)
"That NIH grant was TERMINATED about 2 years ago because NIH said they didn't want to fund that technology anymore. That grant had funded the initial development of the nanoneedle on cancer cells & bacteria. All the ME/CFS work started AFTER that & was FUNDED BY PATIENTS@OpenMedF"
When I heard that Collins had taken credit, I actually felt like I had been physically punched, given the fact that the NIH's failure to fund research has caused me and millions like me to suffer for decades.

The German ME/CFS Society (Deutsche Gesellschaft für ME/CFS) has produced a new series of press images to be used in media articles. These images are intended to replace the often inappropriate images that accompany articles about ME.

The Most Underfunded Disease at the NIH
by Winston Blick of "ME/CFS Quotes"

If you compare funding and disease burden data across all diseases at the NIH for which this data is available, one disease stands out. It's ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), a condition that afflicts 1–2.5 million Americans. Those numbers may rise drastically as a result of long COVID, which in many cases closely resembles ME/CFS.

Special thanks to Andrew Vickers, who composed the soundtrack for this video. Arthur Mirin, Mary Dimmock, and Leonard Jason conducted the research into ME/CFS funding vs. disease burden that is referred to throughout this video.
