The US government is large. Just because one part of the US government is not willing to fund the work does not mean that you might not get another part to fund it.
NLP (as in Neuro-linguistic programming) has the problem of the academic research community in psychology being very prejudged towards NLP and thus it was hard to get any mainstream outlet to get research funding to research the effects of the Fast Phobia Cure in NLP.
The solution was to go to the military and present the Fast Phobia Cure as a solution to PTSD of war veterans. The military funded studies of it under the name RTM Protocol and it’s now one of the interventions for PTSD in war veterans with the most support from academic studies.
I would expect that it’s pretty bad when your soldiers are in a war zone and get incapacitated with the flu. Being able to have an effective military even during pandemic scenarios whether those are of natural origin or artificial induced for military purposes, is likely important to military planners.
The US military did publish some research into the effectiveness of masks in preventing COVID.
My description was a pretty quick gloss, but yep, the government is large and I know partners have been inquiring with various offices. Getting money is always going to be a problem. Honestly part of it is, let’s say it takes three years to get funding for [something you care about], it’s not actually that long in government timelines but it feels like forever when you work at a small organization or company and your work revolves around that particular thing.
