Dr. Fauci Backed Controversial Wuhan Lab with U.S. Dollars for Risky Coronavirus Research
Newsweek ^ | 4/28/20 | FRED GUTERL

Posted on 09/15/2020 10:37:09 PM PDT by TBP

Dr. Anthony Fauci is an adviser to President Donald Trump and something of an American folk hero for his steady, calm leadership during the pandemic crisis. At least one poll shows that Americans trust Fauci more than Trump on the coronavirus pandemic—and few scientists are portrayed on TV by Brad Pitt.

But just last year, the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the organization led by Dr. Fauci, funded scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and other institutions for work on gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses.

In 2019, with the backing of NIAID, the National Institutes of Health committed $3.7 million over six years for research that included some gain-of-function work. The program followed another $3.7 million, 5-year project for collecting and studying bat coronaviruses, which ended in 2019, bringing the total to $7.4 million.

Many scientists have criticized gain of function research, which involves manipulating viruses in the lab to explore their potential for infecting humans, because it creates a risk of starting a pandemic from accidental release.

This is the lab where the Wuhan virus originated, the one Dr. Yan was talking about.

Why are the Left turning on their hero ? Probably because he defended Trump a few days back and that they don’t think they can use him to hurt Trump as they thought before. Fauci as a Trump killer is a dead end. Now if they can squeeze out a sensational story (’Fauci helped create the Corona virus’) then Fauci will have served some purpose.

Looks like somebody “fired a shot across Fauci’s bow”. It could be the first step to an investigation followed by a very public firing.

Fauci is in huge trouble. This so-called public health official has basically been funding biological warfare research overseas. Not a good look.

By the way, Newsweek doesn’t seem to be run by the Left anymore. I don’t know for sure what happened, but the articles they publish are all over the map politically these days.

FauXi and his infection-using seditionists
working to destroy the USA,
and on the way murdering hundreds of thousands
of innocents, ..... deserve much more than jail.
