HHS pulls all federal funding from Wuhan Institute of Virology
Washington Examiner ^

Posted on 09/21/2023 6:14:50 AM PDT by Tench_Coxe

The Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday issued a notice barring the Wuhan Institute of Virology from federal funding for 10 years due to conducting experiments with high potential for dangerous public health consequences.

(snip)

Last week, members of the House Oversight and Energy and Commerce Committees sent a formal letter threatening to begin issuing subpoenas if the agency does not provide requested information regarding the communications between the NIH, EcoHealth Alliance, and the WIV.

KEYWORDS:
How about halting funding indefinitely? What about OTHER labs involved in similar gain of function research?

And oversight should keep pressing on the latter--that points to the crux of the matter, even if its still not addressing potential DoD connections.

The ChiComs must be laughing their heads off at us.

That’s like cutting off a drunk after he had a DWI car wreck.

But late.

Future high school history test question highlighting the deadly sclerosis of the Administrative State that had gone off the rails in the new millenium

Answer: “4”

Question: “How many years did it take the US Administrative State to decide to stop funding the source of the COVID-19 virus?”

..due to conducting experiments with high potential for dangerous public health consequences.

Does this mean "gain of function" research, the type of research that led to COVID and was funded by Fauci and NIH?

Interesting, is it not, how the most egregious aspects of this funding debacle are masked by the Press with generality
and innocuous description?

This is where pigs grow wings and soar in formation with your next flight.

But expect no mea culpas from those responsible.

Just part of the operation to protect Fauci who is directly responsible for causing significant physical and mental misery (even death to some) of a few billion people ... arguably, the most evil creature on Earth.

10 YEARS???? WTF? It should be 10,000 years because by then the residual radiation levels will be safe.

YES, ChiComs laughing right in Joey’s face!!!

How about... why the hell was there ever funding in the first damned place? Typical leftist government “better late than never” underwhelming response. Never mind that the funding was supposed to be illegal (not authorized by Congress) by the US. Let’s not focus on that aspect.... or on the aspect that the US can be held partially responsible now for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Marxist left can always find an ‘end run’ around legalities though, can’t they.

Illegal funding of Wuhan Lab continued despite this:

They killed their millions and got Joe Biden into office......

Time to give another joint US Government and CCP lab a chance to top that.
