Part of Phase 1A Allocations for Front Line Healthcare Workers
NIH Is Home to World’s Largest Hospital Devoted to Clinical Research
ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan today announced that the State of Maryland will provide COVID-19 vaccine doses for front line clinical healthcare workers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda.
Led by Dr. Francis S. Collins, NIH is the largest biomedical research agency in the world. Its clinical center is the world’s largest hospital devoted entirely to clinical research. Dr. Anthony S. Fauci serves as director of NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
“Maryland is proud to be home to some of the world’s leading health systems and medical research institutions, including NIH,” said Governor Hogan. “With our earliest vaccinations focused on high-risk populations, we are providing a limited number of doses to NIH in order to vaccinate these Maryland-based front line healthcare workers. I want to thank Dr. Collins, Dr. Fauci, and their teams for all they have done throughout this crisis to save lives.”
Phase 1A of Maryland’s vaccination plan focuses on front line healthcare workers, residents and staff of long-term care facilities, as well as first responders. Maryland has agreed to provide 2,300 doses from its initial allotment of the Moderna vaccine to vaccinate front line NIH healthcare workers. In total, Maryland’s allotment now includes 191,075 doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.

If there were any threat to these ‘anointed’ elite biotechnologists it would have made the fake news by now. Trump has had it, other heads of state, yet, no mention of NIH personnel or other doctors have been infected.
Don’t miss the link between Hoggan and Fauchi, who are behind this while LOW PRESTIGE workers such as your local Docs and nurses who only have the basic protection. NIH people have the Cadillac class PPE because of the degree of threat they deal with everyday.
Hoggan has again flubbed the pass because that’s what Cuomo has told him to do. A better investigation would be how the unapproved test kits from Korea found their way, supposedly, to eldercare facilities and other clandestine applications without the blessing of the FDA?
When are you voters going to realize these dolts in politics are ruining your lives? Don’t blame the Dims alone because the Republicans are JUST as irresponsible as they are. Hoggan had the most part of his skull hollowed out during the tumor procedure. You’re going to tell the voters these honored ‘scientists’ are more important than those you depend on for fire and police response to calls for service, or some old person who is hanging buy a thread and has ALSO been a hero in a different in a different theater.
Secondly, NIH is a teaching hospital who has a large cadre of foreign colleagues who are being put ahead of the line, ahead of NATIVE AMERICANS who were born here. Do you think the military has ever put indigenous people ahead of the needs of American troops for care of any kind?
This is ONLY POLITICS for a shot at the Presidency. Damn Hoggan to Hell for his actions and disregard for the people of Md. I’d rather be gay than him or any other politician.
