Bipartisan U.S. Lawmakers Target EcoHealth's Daszak, Call to Defund WHO in COVID-19 Probe

May 4, 2024, 02:39 PM

U.S. lawmakers from both major political parties have intensified scrutiny on Peter Daszak, head of EcoHealth Alliance, during investigations into the origins of COVID-19. Accusations against Daszak include misleading the U.S. government about his connections with the Wuhan Institute and mismanaging U.S. taxpayer funds, as highlighted in his recent testimony. The bipartisan effort, marked by blistering criticism, reflects a unified stance in seeking accountability for the pandemic's origins and the management of related research funding. Additionally, there are calls to defund the World Health Organization (WHO) over alleged cover-ups related to the pandemic, emphasizing that Daszak is not a faithful steward of U.S. taxpayer dollars.
