Hell yeah!!! Fighting talk.!!!!!...when sone of us don't have the strength, it's good for the rest of us to remind them we will fight this ignorance .I understand your feelings and just want to say - to hell with NIH. To hell with letting them encourage you to lose hope. If you can, try not to give them space in your head, in your thoughts. They don't deserve to have a place there.
To the o.p., if you can , remind yourself how much we've suffered, and yet we're still here. Scant comfort. But it is comfort and those motherf.....s will pay one day, they'll know they were wrong eventually. And that's on them. For life!!
If they don't care about that they're lost anyway
