HHS Suspends Government-Wide Funding for EcoHealth Alliance, Biden Administration Endorses Move
May 15, 2024, 03:52 PM
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has suspended funding and proposed formal debarment of EcoHealth Alliance, an organization involved in controversial coronavirus research. The decision was influenced by evidence from the COVID Select Committee's report. EcoHealth Alliance, led by Peter Daszak, has been implicated in gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, which has been at the center of lab leak theories. The suspension includes a government-wide hold on all active grants to the organization. HHS stated that the immediate suspension is necessary to protect the public interest. The Biden administration has endorsed this move.
