Why Did the NIH Fund Wuhan Labs?
American Thinker.com ^ | April 18, 2020 | Daniel John Sobieski

Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz has asked an obvious question, one that has not come up at the daily White House coronavirus press briefing -- why is the Wuhan Virology Lab a grantee of the National Institutes if Health, whose National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) -- headed by one Dr. Anthony Fauci -- and a recipient of $3.7 million to study coronavirus in bats? Gaetz has gone beyond mere curiosity, writing a letter to HHS Secretary Azar demanding the grant be terminated:

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., called on Health & Human Services Secretary Alex Azar Tuesday to cease funding a research grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, telling "Tucker Carlson Tonight" the action could be accomplished "with the stroke of a pen."

"I'm against funding Chinese research in our country, but I'm sure against funding it in China," Gaetz said. "The NIH [National Institutes of Health] gives a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology [and] they then advertise that they need coronavirus researchers and following that, coronavirus erupts in Wuhan."…

"What's really troubling to me is either conspicuously or miraculously the Wuhan Institute of Virology is able to sequence the virus on January 2 but China doesn't admit to the virus existing until January 9 and then the Wuhan Institute of Virology doesn't release this important scientific information to the world until January 12," Gaetz said.

"So at best, Americans are funding people who are lying to us and at worst, we're funding people who we knew had problems handling pathogens, who then birthed a monster virus onto the world," he added.

NIH funded Wuhan labs.... sounds as evil as our FBI spying on Trump. Sinister. Satanic.

the goal was to make all Americans die or be dependant
upon their vaccines forever

humans forever

Because Obama had to eat dog meat as a child and feels for the Chinese.

So it’s finally out in the open, i.e., Fauci’s organization working with Wuhan bio labs. About a month ago, Chanel Rion put this info out there but it has been hidden. Finally the truth.

I am not taking a position on this but just guessing.

$3.7 million to the Wuhan lab might be an inexpensive way to keep abreast of what is going on there.

It is abundantly clear that once again our Free Traitors™ have sold us out to the ChiComs. So how can the USA ever hope to win a militarily confrontation with the country that makes ALL OF OUR MEDICAL SUPPLIES, PHARMACEUTICALS, has a big chunk of out manufacturing base and has stolen all of our technology????!!!

How do we ever do that? We don't, that was the plan all along.

Fauci wanted research done that wasn’t legal in the US.

He diverted US taxpayer funds to a communist Chinese lab to get ‘er done.

But Levin wants his cheap steel so when it comes time to replace his 2010 Camaro it will be $50 less.

You should know that you cannot believe everything you read.

Also President Trump made it clear that he will not fire Dr. Fauci

Unless I missed it, the article doesn’t specifically mention what year $ was approved. Since the lab opened in 2015, it is after that time. And the US visit to the lab in 2018 gave a bad report. Maybe these are the details the Congressman is after. Also, he should look at how our laws are written that would allow such decisions to be made that are not in the national interest. Our federal government is too large to succeed at much.

This is typical government:

1. Create a problem

2. Frighten people into letting the Government fix the problem.

3. Tighten control of the people.

I heard Levin literally yell at his radio audience that no one should concern themselves where the stuff they buy is made. Just consume and don't worry about.

Levin is a Free Traitor™.

Trump needs to clean house in the entire NIH organization. Some of the leadership there needs to go.
