It’s a genuine effort to put something positive on the table for the administration as the mid-term elections ramp up. Biden, like his predecessor, is historically unpopular. The administration is desperate to do anything to maintain control of the house and senate.
This “plan” is a retread of Biden’s 2012 scheme that went nowhere.
As for corruption, probably just run-of-the-mill NIH feudalism. Even Joe Biden isn’t so brazenly corrupt that he’d directly pay his bag men while he’s the sitting President.
It’s good to see cancer get more money & attention, regardless of the motive.
