I do agree with you that the draft bill is silly and would be counterproductive. However it would be more correct to say that WIV received _at least_ 600k from EHA but the total is unknown. The 600k came out of $3.7M NIH funding, but the fact check article you cited doesn't mention that EHA received > $100M in grants from other parts of government (biggest being dod & state) and I don't believe it's publicly known where that money might have gone exactly. Agree that perspective is important, the total dollar amounts discussed are equivalent to a big C round for 1 startup.

(yes, it's the daily mail but it looks like they searched the grant databases a bit more carefully).
