EcoHealth Alliance is well-known as the biomedical nonprofit that funneled taxpayer money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the shoddy ChiCom coronavirus laboratory located just a few miles from the first public outbreak of COVID-19.
(Here is the summary of 900 pages' worth of leaked info about EcoHealth's role in the leak of Covid.)
It made sense that the Trump administration suspended the group's taxpayer grant as the pandemic ramped up. Millions of people died because of the lab leak involving their project!
But we warned you last year that EcoHealth President Peter Daszak was applying for more grant money, meaning there was going to be zero consequences for his company's role in a global pandemic.
Sadly, it makes sense that the Biden administration has re-instated his funding:
Three years after then-President Donald Trump pressured the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to suspend a research grant to a U.S. group studying bat coronaviruses with partners in China, the agency has restarted the award.
Daszak is happy:
But EcoHealth's embattled director, Peter Daszak, says his group is pleased: "Now we have the ability to finally get back to work," he says.
Ah yes, what's important is the "work." What's 7 million dead people in the pursuit of knowledge?
They lied to you. They said you had to take the jab and stay home because they cared, but they only really cared about money. No one has been held accountable for the worst pandemic in a century. Seven million people died and the only thing the DOJ cares about is imprisoning parents who don't want gay sex books in schools.
Don't worry, though, the new grant "omits [the] studies" that many suspect led to the COVID-19 outbreak — you know, the studies that were reportedly creating super-powerful variants of coronaviruses and then storing them in a hack low-security facility run by a bunch of Xi Jinping's third-rate scientists.
Grant number R01AI110964, which NIH renewed in 2019 with a subaward to [the Wuhan Institute of Virology] WIV that totaled nearly $600,000 over 8 years, is probably the most scrutinized grant in the agency's history. Trump called for its cancellation in April 2020 amid unsupported allegations that a lab leak at WIV started the COVID-19 pandemic. The project later drew concerns for experiments, conducted in virologist Shi Zhengli's lab at WIV, in which researchers attached the spike protein of various wild bat coronaviruses to a different virus "backbone" in order to gauge the wild pathogens' potential to infect human airway cells. Such experiments allow scientists to isolate the role of the spike protein and study coronaviruses that they can't culture easily.
Translation: They were doing gain-of-function research to make these viruses more infectious to humans and they caused more damage to the world than WWII.
Rand Paul pointed this out, but the reason no one else in power cares is because they believe you can't make an omelette (advance science) without scrambling a few eggs (killing millions of people).
How that hubris is different from the Nazis and their experiments eludes me, but the reason they don't think too much about that is because there are billions of dollars to be had.
But now the company responsible for the project that went sideways and infected billions of people – disrupting all of life for years and causing untold future damage – is being sternly told by the Biden administration that it must not bankroll those types of studies anymore.
Such a relief!
Don't you feel better?
