An oversight board created to scrutinize research that would enhance highly dangerous pathogens did not review a National Institutes of Health grant that funded a lab in Wuhan, China, to genetically modify bat-based coronaviruses.
Experts say the NIH grant describes scientists conducting gain-of-function research, a risky area of study that, in this case, made SARS-like viruses even more contagious. Federal funding for gain-of-function research was temporarily suspended in 2014 due to widespread scientific concerns it risked leaking supercharged viruses into the human population.
Federal funding for gain-of-function research was resumed in late 2017 after the Potential Pandemic Pathogens Control and Oversight (P3CO) Framework was formed within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The review board is tasked with critically evaluating whether grants that involve enhancing dangerous pathogens, such as coronaviruses, are worth the risks and that proper safeguards are in place.
But the NIH subagency that awarded the grant to the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance to study Chinese bat coronaviruses opted against forwarding it to the P3CO committee, an NIH spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation, meaning the research received federal funding without an independent review by the HHS board.
“This is a systemic problem,” Rutgers University professor of chemical biology Richard H. Ebright told the DCNF, referring to the loophole in the review framework.
Ebright said the offices of the director for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) — the subagency that funded EcoHealth — and the NIH have “systematically thwarted–indeed systematically nullified–the HHS P3CO Framework by declining to flag and forward proposals for review.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci leads the NIAID and Dr. Francis S. Collins heads the NIH....

A lot of someone’s need to be thrown in jail. The truth is starting to trickle out.
Stockpile
Rand Paul has to ask him about this at the next hearing since he is the only nonleftwinger who gets to ask Fauci questions. Also ask him about the border and don’t let him off the hook
I am shocked. Utterly shocked to read that he would bypass the normal review process. Next we'll hear there is gambling at Rick's Cafe!
No Shit? /sarc
10 years in jail minimum for all these assholes. There wasn’t a “mistaken” oversight. Somebody is on the Chinese payroll on this end. Hell, the manufacturers have 150-170 communist party members woven in their management/research.
Plus, this subject has been on the radar since around the outbreak time.

uh-oh.......

Two things here:
1. It seems like you need a review board....to oversee the current HHS Review Board.
2. Someone needs to dismantle the money-grant apparatus and limit it to only US concerns, within the border of the US itself.
“An NIH spokesperson said its subagency did not flag the EcoHealth grant for independent review by the HHS review committee.
“After careful review of the grant, NIAID determined research in the grant was not gain-of-function research because it did not involve the enhancement of the pathogenicity or transmissibility of the viruses studied,” the spokesperson told the DCNF.”
Dr. fallacy funded a ChiCom Military bioweapon.
That’s what a gain of function motive is about. Never necessary.
Now, the ass-covering begins.
Ping
Fauci should be in prison
Subtle...had to search “gambling at Rick’s Cafe.”
Thanks.
Wait until the crazy Gates stuff fall off the cart.
Never Scrutinized By HHS Review Board >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They knew how to get around the review.
And who should be thrown under the bus?
Foh Xi himself, the Machiavellian bureaucratic genocidal maniac hiding on plain sight, who advanced the parties who patented the Covid 19 virus and who make billions.
The Chinese will wipe out any population they want, Uighers, Tibetans, India’s Peoples, and make it look like a natural pandemic.
The Red Chinese likely have far more terrible viruses to share with the world.
Foh Xi is one of their agents here in Washington, He should be frog marched into the nearest prison in an orange suit, where he can be convinced to turn states evidence so we can roll up the entire network of genocidal maniacs....including Soros and Bill Gates.
Foh Xi was the running dog for the ba$tids who patented the Covid-18 virus.
So Fauci as leader of NIAD,and who funded EcoHealth, and Collins systematically thwarted the HHS F3CO framework by declining to flag and forward proposals for review ?
We already know that presIDent OBama didn't want any 'gain of function' studies conducted in the Americas, so it was off-shored to China ?
Also, EcoHealth sent approximately 14 million ($$) US taxpayer dollars to Wuhan clandestinely, and failed to report it.
Me thinks that Director Fauci of NIAD, Collins of NIH, and Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance have some explaining to do on why their financial support was never reported to the Feds.
HE is the systemic problem....
