Senator Rand Paul has introduced a bill to supposedly rein in the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). It is, unfortunately, little more than rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It would split NIAID into three, with term-limited and Senate- confirmed directors. This sounds suspiciously like the creation of the Department of Homeland (in)Security after 9/11. Various agencies and bureaus were put under a new head, and after an extended gestation, out popped Alejandro Majorkas.
