US President Donald Trump addressed a joint session of the Congress this week and highlighted several examples of the “waste waste” funded by the US taxpayers by the administration led by his predecessor, which led by the administration.
During the 99-minute address on Tuesday, he claimed that billionaire Elon Musk’s official cost-coting team, Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), has identified that the Biden administration has spent $ 8 million on “making mice transgender”.
“It’s real,” he asked his fellow Republican to laugh.
Critics, however, challenged his claim and said that money was for health studies consisting of transgenic mice, not transgender mice, receiving treatment. It was studied to find out how these treatments can affect human health that take them.
Transgenic mice have genetically modified rats, in which foreign DNA is introduced in their genome, a process that is usually performed to study the functioning of specific genes, models human diseases or potential treatments.
The White House, however, later claimed that under the Biden administration, the National Institute of Health spent millions of dollars to “use transgender on mice”.
Citing examples that the study exceeded $ 8.2 million, the White House stated that $ 455,000 was spent to test the difference in ways of working in an HIV vaccine on a study that worked in mice receiving cross-sex hormone therapy.
It also said that the National Cancer Institute honored a project to a project to compare the rate of breast cancer among women mice and testosterone therapy.
The White House stated that it was spent to investigate $ 3.1 million how hormones affect asthma results, steroid hormone administration to check the reproductive results of $ 2.5 million, $ 1.2 million to analyze Androgen effects on the reproductive neuro andocrine axis, $ 1.2 million and $ 735,113 for a study for a study for a study to analyze the Androgen effect Is.
However, these projects physically did not involve infection of mice from one penis to another, and its purpose was to detect the effects of hormones on the disease, reproductive health and immune responses.
