 Infamous Wuhan Lab Authorized To Receive US Taxpayer Funding, NIH Confirms
February 17, 2021 By Evita Duffy

The National Institutes of Health confirmed Tuesday that the Wuhan Institute of Virology is authorized to receive U.S. taxpayer funding for animal research through January 2024, according to the Daily Caller.

The research lab in Wuhan is suspected to have caused the COVID-19 pandemic through an accidental lab leak and has already received $600,000 in U.S. taxpayer funds between 2014 and 2019 to study bat-based coronaviruses through EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit organization.

EcoHealth Alliance’s research of bat-based coronaviruses in China was funded by a $3.7 million grant in 2014 from a branch of the NIH, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, according to the Wall Street Journal. In April, the grant was terminated by the NIH amid criticism over EcoHealth Alliance’s relationship with the Wuhan research lab. The NIH said in a letter that the nonprofit’s work in China did not align with “program goals and agency priorities.”

The NIH told EcoHealth Alliance in July it would restore the grant if the organization met certain conditions, one of which was to arrange for an independent team to investigate the Wuhan Institute of Virology to determine if it had possession of the COVID-19 virus prior to the first known cases in December 2019, as suspected by the U.S. State Department.

The president of EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, told NPR the NIH’s conditions were “preposterous.”

“I’m not trained as a private detective,” Daszak said. “It’s not really my job to do that.”

100% insanity to fund those who wish to and have proven to kill you.

[christian]

Like the energy crisis that threatens and endangers our nation, the democrats want to reward their allies who helped them generate more crisis's, like the Chinese flu.  Makes it so much easier to understand what looks from the outside like insanity.  It actually makes a lot of sense from their point of political view.

"The research lab in Wuhan is suspected to have caused the COVID-19 pandemic through an accidental lab leak and has already received $600,000 in U.S. taxpayer funds..."

Some things are just flat-out amazin', aren't they...?

[sneakypete]

Of course they are. The DNC has to pay them back the money they spent to get Slow Joe elected,don't they? After all,creating a new virus and setting it lose on the world ain't cheap,even for the Chinese.

[christian]

The democrats are rewarding the Chinese for an epidemic the democrats could mine like a gold mine, and it helped democrat crisis agendas to seize more power, and they long ago alluded to.  Just like after the Vietnam the democrats richly rewarded Vietnam for winning the war against us.  Recall the democrats rewarding Iraq and Iran for going to war against us too ?  Benedict Arnold would have been so envious! and rich had democrats been around then in control of the Treasury.

Accidently on purpose, you didn't see them do it, you can't prove a thing!    Remember,no matter how certain the proof is, being a democrat was involved no proof is good enough, and besides you also have no proof their intentions, and that requires you would have to read their minds.  Hitlery, guilty as hell, is free as a bird, as she has that right, don't the rest of the democrats ?  If only Hitler could have had such a blank check to get away with stuff, we'd all be speaking German today!
You deniers, imagine judgment day, and none of the lies are effective any more, but they will convict you!
