NIH Admits to Funding Gain-of-Function Research in Wuhan,​

Says EcoHealth Violated Reporting Requirements​

A top NIH official admitted in a Wednesday letter that U.S. taxpayers funded gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in Wuhan and revealed that EcoHealth Alliance, the U.S. non-profit that funneled NIH money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, was not transparent about the work it was doing.

In the letter to Republican Representative James Comer, Lawrence A. Tabak of the NIH cites a “limited experiment” that was conducted to test if “spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.” The laboratory mice infected with the modified bat virus “became sicker” than those infected with the unmodified bat virus.

The revelation vindicates Republican Senator Rand Paul, who got into heated exchanges with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Dr. Fauci during his May and July testimonials before Congress over the gain-of-function question. At the second hearing, Paul accused Fauci of misleading Congress by denying that the U.S. had funded gain-of-function projects at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Dr. Richard Ebright, biosafety expert and professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University, had previously rebutted Fauci’s claim that the NIH “has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV]” as “demonstrably false.”

In addition to his admission that gain-of-function research was being conducted with NIH money, Tabak also revealed that EcoHealth failed to comply with its reporting responsibilities under the grant. EcoHealth was required to submit to a “secondary review” in the event of certain developments that might increase the danger associated with the research. So, when Wuhan researchers successfully bound a natural bat coronavirus to a human AC2 receptor in mice, they were supposed to inform the NIH, but they didn’t.

Fauci should be charged with Felony Perjury, fired at a minimum.

"congressman paul, you have no idea what you are talking about"
And BOOOOM goes the dynamite.
Remember when fauxi said that to rand? I remember self righteous political cultists like Mac1958 praising fauxi for fighting back.
What now, bitches?

 

[TNHarley]

I think Rand Paul is a whiny little pussy who needs to concern himself more with the lack of vaccinated people in Kentucky than constantly harping gain of function nonsense

Right about what?

He keeps bringing up wild conspiracies with no evidence

Rand paul is not correct, he is merely pumping his fists at the sky for being blue.

The Wuhan Lab and the Gain-of-Function Disagreement - FactCheck.org

Snort!...You would think Rand would have learned his lesson the first two times he went up against Fauci and the doctor handed him his ass.
Rand should just stick to politics.

Dr. Fauci has more integrity in his little finger than any of you Paulites (including the spawn of that notorious clan) have collectively.

Out-fucking-standing. Fauci has had enough of the scam.

Thank you, Doctor Fauci.

Who should we believe? Fouci, who has unquestionable credintials in the field, or Paul who was once an eye doctor, and is currently a Qanon supporter?

“If anyone is lying here Senator, It is You”

Love Paul’s tactics
Make criminal accusations and then talk over Fauci as he tries to respond.

Senator Paul is scum

I love the smell of retarded federal supremacists in the morning

 

[TheGreatSatan]

If Democrats weren't lying and spinning, they would be silent.

 

[TNHarley]

Thanks for the thread easy. This made my day.

Letter Shows Fauci Lied To Congress About Gain Of Function Research

A new letter out Wednesday from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers more evidence Dr. Anthony Fauci lied to Congress.

[ColonelAngus]

Wow. This is huge.

All of them have been lying all along.

Why isn't FAUCI in PRISON?

 

[JohnDB]

This is why Free Speech of dissenting opinion is allowed....
When everyone in the administration was saying something different...there were a ton of people (boots on the ground) who were all saying the truth.
All the social media giants were busy silencing the truth tellers (as well as a bunch of nonsense of conspiracy theorists) as directed by our Government. Which is the exact thing SCOTUS already had said for them not to do.

This is fascism pure and simple.

All of them need to go....clean sweep of the swamp in DC.

 

[iceberg]

Wow. This is huge.

All of them have been lying all along.

Why isn't FAUCI in PRISON?

cause the people he's lying for won't put him there or they all fall down.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

"The National Institute of Health (NIH) has denied funding studies that would make a coronavirus more dangerous to humans after it was accused of doing so following the release of research proposals."

Richard Ebright, board of governors professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Rutgers University and laboratory director at the Waksman Institute of Microbiology, told Newsweek these documents show "unequivocally" that NIH grants were used to fund controversial gain-of-function (GOF) research at the Wuhan Insitute of Virology in China—something U.S. infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci has denied.

What will Lord Fauci say now, other than just issuing pro forma denials? Rand Paul will undoubtedly attack this news like an Orca whale gobbling up a nice fat seal.


In some future time when people are siting through the ashes of this whole covid issue the National Institute of Health will have much to answer for. And the people who have politicized this, while simultaneously decrying politicizing this issue, will shrug their shoulders and claim "not me".

The whole covid issue has been a political football and undoubtedly authoritarians have seized on the issue to extend it's control over the citizenry.

 

[Nostra]

Fauci needs to be charged with perjury for his numerous lies under oath.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

...and that is Newsweek reporting, not Breitbart.

 

[Moonglow]

If this be so why was he not charged with lying?

 

[Nostra]

If this be so why was he not charged with lying?

Because AG Garland is a hack.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

That's my hope. He has danced around this issue and issued all sorts of statements in "bureaucrat speak"
trying to deny culpability.
Time to tighten the noose.

 

[Moonglow]

Because AG Garland is a hack.

Don't you have a better excuse?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

...and that is Newsweek reporting, not Breitbart.

Yes. That is borderline shocking.

 

[Turtlesoup]

Fauci needs to be charged with perjury for his numerous lies under oath.

I was thinking treason and crimes against humanity as well.

To say that a lab accident could start a pandemic is much different, of course, than claiming that a lab accident at the Wuhan Institute did start this particular pandemic. There is no proof that SARS-CoV-2 came from a lab in Wuhan or anywhere else.

If the company lied then how was Fauci to know what they were doing?
