Fact check another misleading Conspiracy Theory

[Rye Catcher]

And, another attack on President Obama, one which President Trump seemed to support.

Fact check: Obama administration did not send $3.7 million to Wuhan lab

Claims that the Obama administration funded coronavirus research may be referring to a grant provided by the NIH.

The origins of the coronavirus have become an increasingly hot-button issue, allowing conspiracy theories to gain traction online and among high-profile officials.

Claims that the U.S. government helped fund research into coronaviruses began to spread after the Daily Mail reported it obtained documents, which “show the Wuhan Institute of Virology undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan – funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US government.”

The report gained traction on social media, while the claim was repeated by high-profile political figures.

Furthermore:

In 2014, the NIH approved a grant to EcoHealth Alliance designated for research into “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.” The project involved collaborating with researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study coronaviruses in bats and the risk of potential transfer to humans.

The original five-year grant was reapproved by the Trump administration in July 2019. In total, $3,378,896 in NIH funding was directed from the government to the project.

The project, which was established “to understand what factors allow coronaviruses, including close relatives to SARS, to evolve and jump into the human population,” has yielded 20 scientific reports on how zoonotic diseases may transfer from bats to humans.

And, finally:

We rate this claim PARTLY FALSE because some of it was not supported by our research. It is misleading to claim that the Obama administration gave funding to a Chinese research institute. It is true that funds were provided to a project where an American research group worked alongside a Chinese organization. But claims that the funding in any way helped produce the current pandemic are unsubstantiated. Additionally, a total of $3.7 million was not given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, only about $600,000.

Everyone knows Obama wanted to destroy the country.

You're new here, and now you've lost credibility.

Just call 'em like I see 'em. Obama hates White People. He rejected his own Mother ,who was white. He identifies with his deadbeat dad.

Post the evidence; in fact your comment tells me more about you than you might believe.

But Lib Tax and Spend ,welfare State ,and bring in filthy illegals IS?

It depends, tax and spend on what? Vis a vis don't tax and cut taxes for corporations and the top income brackets.

The D's are fiscally responsible, the R's and their trickle down theory aren't even fiscally conservative, they are out of control.

Why not admit the truth, I know it hurts you, but be a man and shake it off. The truth will make us free.

Truth from an America-hating liberal?

"Free"?

Got any other good jokes today?

Sure, but this was not one of them. The joke of the day is your failure to man up, and posting a BIG LIE. What evidence do you have that you can make a claim I hate America?

Did you enlist in one of our Armed Forces during the Vietnam Conflict? I did. Did you ever take the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States? I have, three times; once when I enlisted in the Navy in 1967; once when I was sworn in a LE Agency in 1972, and when I was hired by a second LE Agency in 1974.

Ummmmm, how about YOU admit that it is partly TRUE. At least that's what your own link says.

Of course, this won’t stop most on the right from continuing to propagate this ridiculous lie.

We learned well from you bastards.

Did the last occupant give money to said institute?

i'm thinking every occupant funded the WHO

“For years, the US government has been funding cruel animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which may have contributed to the global spread of COVID-19,” Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., tweeted April 13. Gaetz praised President Donald Trump on Fox News for "committing to end this America Last grant given to labs in Wuhan by the Obama administration!"

in other words, we outsourced research that would have been illegal to do here
