House Committee Exposes COVID-19 Funding Corruption, NIH Admits Gain-of-Function Research Funding to Daszak, EcoHealth
May 28, 2024, 01:12 AM
A recent investigation by the U.S. House Committee has exposed significant corruption in federal funding related to COVID-19 research. The committee's findings have led to the suspension of federal funding to Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance, with proposals to debar them from future funds. Dr. David Morens, Senior Advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci, admitted during a hearing that he deleted government records and conspired with Daszak to restore his grant. The House Select Subcommittee has suggested that there was a conspiracy at the highest levels of the NIH to avoid public transparency, which they described as an attack on public trust. The NIH has admitted that U.S. taxpayers funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where classified documents suggest COVID-19 was created and leaked. The investigation also revealed emails that contributed to the findings.
