Collins – former President Barack Obama, former President Joe Biden and Director of the NIH under President Donald Trump's first term – Sun With the song “often sung at the end of a folk festival,” he added that he “rewrites it.” Collins explained that the song is about “all good people” working in the science field, about “science-making people.”
As previously reported by Breitbart News, in October 2021, Collins resigned after the document showed that he made “dishonest” comments about the US “federal funding of gain-of-function research that works in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” Before the announcement of his resignation, Collins said, “The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) was accused of issuing a false public statement granted to the Institute of Virology.
Paul Bois of Breitbart News reported:
A few weeks before the announcement, Rutgers University's Richard Ebright accused Collins of making a false public statement about the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), granting it to the Wuhan Virology Institute (WIV). When asked about the study, Ebright said frankly that Collins had not told the truth.
“So, this is a song that is often sung at the end of folk festivals, but today it was rewritten by me. It is a song about all the good people I just talked about, you are all good people. Well, this is a song for all good people – all the good people who are part of this family. This is a song for all the good people. You can say that Collins says he tells the crowd to sing together. “Do you have it? So it's just “all good people,” but the second line, “part of this family,” and the last line, “We're taking part in this noble dream.”
“Do it with me,” Collins says. “This is a song for all good people – come. For all good people who are part of this family. This is a song for all good people. We are together in this noble dream. Well, this is a song for all dreamers looking for answers to come in our path. All seekers of scientists, doctors, students, we share with you the hope that we will have a brighter day.”
“Come on. This is a song for all good people, for all good people, who are part of this family. This is a song for all good people. Collins continued to sing.
