NIH Admits Funding Gain-of-Function Research in Wuhan via EcoHealth, Rand Paul Proven Right
May 16, 2024, 04:06 PM
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has admitted to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through EcoHealth Alliance, contradicting previous statements made by Dr. Anthony Fauci. This revelation was confirmed by NIH Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak during a testimony in response to a question from Rep. Lesko. The operation was coordinated by EcoHealth and Peter Daszak. The admission has significant implications, as it suggests that the U.S. government played a role in the research activities at the Wuhan lab, which has been linked to the origins of the global Covid-19 pandemic. Sen. Rand Paul, who has been vocal about this issue, was proven right.
