Dr. Anthony Fauci is gone from government, but his long shadow looms large in Washington. DOGE is fixing that.

On Friday’s episode of the “Joe Rogan Experience,” Rogan and Elon Musk denounced wasteful government spending on animal testing. Rogan singled out  Fauci’s infamous biting fly tests on beagles and “$250 million for transgender animal studies,” prompting Musk to respond, “Mutilating animals in demented studies that are like the worst thing you can imagine from a horror show.”

Their remarks were referencing White Coat Waste Project’s recent testimony at a House Oversight Committee hearing where I detailed how taxpayers are being forced to fund millions in experiments to crudely create transgender lab animals to mimic trans children and adults.

Guess who was responsible for 95%  of this absurd and obscene spending: Fauci’s division at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

In her opening statement that immediately went viral, Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace said the following:

“Late last year the White Coat Waste Project exposed that more than $10 million dollars in taxpayer funds were spent creating transgender mice, rats, and monkeys. These DEI grants funded painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo invasive surgeries and hormone therapies at universities across the country.

For example, the Biden-Harris Administration spent $2.5 million taxpayer dollars to study the fertility of transgender mice. $1.1 million dollars were spent to find out if female rats receiving testosterone therapies to mimic transgender men were more likely to overdose on a party drug commonly used in the LGBTQ community to induce drug-fueled “chemsex.”

Federal funds were also used to forcibly transition male monkeys to see if hormone therapy made them more........
