WASHINGTON, D.C. – Stakeholders and organizations are applauding U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, for advancing his legislation, S. 3664 the Royalty Transparency Act of 2024, out of committee on a bipartisan vote of 12-0.

“During the pandemic, the American people started to think that Big Government was very close to Big Pharma. We now know that hundreds of millions of dollars flowed from the industry and enriched 2,400 scientists and key directors at the National Institutes of Health over the past decade – including those involved in vaccine development. But we still don’t know all the details because NIH continues to stonewall and force us into expensive federal litigation. Dr. Paul’s legislation is vital to open the books on the culture of secrecy so the American people can finally follow the money.” – Adam Andrzejewski, CEO of OpenTheBooks.
