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 as 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 suspended temporarily 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 Framework was formed within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
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 a Potential Pandemic Pathogens Control and Oversight review committee, an NIH spokesperson told The Daily Caller News Foundation, meaning the research received federal funding without an independent review by the HHS board.

Someone help me understand why we’re helping our enemies??!!
So Fauci stole government money, to give to the communist party of China, to do research that is illegal in America.
The important question is why is this being reported? Sounds like a lot of people are distancing themselves from something he did that cannot be concealed much longer.
At some point, it becomes helpful to understand that our leaders in America are good friends with red China, and that they are sworn enemies of the American people.
“We” (USA) are not cooperating with our enemies. “They” (US Government and the leaders of universities and industry) are joint enemies of the American people and way of life.
Judicial Watch filed a FOIA request, and then a FOIA lawsuit, for those documents in Summer 2020.
Trump, as CEO of the Executive Branch of government, could have searched for and released those documents any time he wanted to.
Instead - nothing.
Of course not. Does someone have a fantasy that libtard activists like Fauci will be held accountable?
If memory serves me correctly from reading the news last year, Canada and the U.K. are involved too.
Nothing to see here. . . .
I heard they closed the funding down and transferred the remainder to a research project in Iran to study how to make gasoline explode easier and the fire to burn hotter. /sarc
Is this Dan Ackroyd selling broken glass to kids and selling it on 60 minutes with a grin?
The origin of the virus is the desk of Anthony Fauci. He funded it. It should be known as the Fauci virus.
which one?
Biden’s?
Pfizer’s?
Xi’s?
Obola’s?
Bushs’?
they ALL are/were in it and
had the noxious, untested (except to increase
gain-of-function virus made AFTER
their planned population decimating (more actually)
nanomaterials-mRNA+ to be injected to those
who were not even effected by
the bioweapon the CRIMINALS made to kill.
so many people protested and ... died.
others made you-tubes etc.,
and now Evidence is coming out.
Those who were there to protect
did as much as they did for election fraud and
governmental stealing by the CCP-DNC-GOP using
their corrupt courts from top to bottom.
They did as much as they do to selling children
on the southern border (10% of the finest to the BIG GUY).
Eco-freaking-Health Alliance: 100 M sick, 2 M dead - and counting. And Peter Darzak, or whatever the hell his name is, of that ghoulish institution is the main expert on all things Covid. Instead of being hanged by his balls...
I dont truzt any of them about anything, as i dont consider them desirous of telling he truth about anything related to this.
Yep.
Ulysses S Grant did what????
So it’s the “Chinese virus” because our own virus guys outsourced it to China?
Arrest Dr. Fallacy! He funded the ChiCom bioweapon.
My “shocked face” is now permanent.
You don’t NEED a REVIEW. All one had to do was look at the name of the grant, and DENY it. “Money for Hitler” would not need a review in 1939.
