A15-minute drive from the Camp David presidential retreat, a low-rated zoo gave the National Institutes of Health several bats to infect with a coronavirus from the same Chinese lab that some federal agencies believe is responsible for the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, according to a new investigation and published research.
The White Coat Waste Project, which fights taxpayer funding of "wasteful government animal experiments," said Monday it's using Freedom of Information Act requests to get more details about the taxpayer-funded experiments documented in a 2018 paper in the journal Viruses.
Former National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci oversaw the NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Montana when it did the research with bats from Maryland's Catoctin Wildlife Preserve, whose Director of Animal Health Laurie Hahn is a former NIH "lead veterinary technician" for animal research.
The Viruses paper, authored by Montana lab researchers and Wuhan Institute of Virology collaborator Ralph Baric, of the University of North Carolina, determined that the "SARS-like WIV1-coronavirus" first isolated from Chinese rufous horseshoe bats could not cause a "robust infection" in the 12 Egyptian fruit bats from the zoo. Four were euthanized and tested.

there are no words to describe this man. Evil may work but it is more than that. He has lied to the people from day one of the Covid virus. He has made bank on the creation of the virus, and then made more money by lying about the virus daily. Next, he made money in the fight against the virus, also by lying. No punishment is too harsh for fraudy-Fauci.
He is what men become when they can’t get a date in high school.
I flew the Reston corridor to avoid DC for twenty years. There is some scary $hit going on there with primates and other critters. The primates are the only ones I could see at 300 MPH @ 2000 Feet.
What possible legitimate reason would there be in proliferating this virus and then releasing it in the U.S.? Fauci is Mengele reborn and needs to be executed for mass murder.
Insofar as Fort Detrick is only about 12-13 miles down the road from the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve, I’m guessing that not all of the bats ended up in Montana.
Shame on Fauci!
Treating those poor defenseless bats like they were Human Beings!
I feel sorry for anyone who still thinks COVID came from someone eating Bat Soup in a wet market.
E IL PHYSCOPATH!
And had to settle for what he has now.
The article says nothing about releasing the bats. It does say four were euthanized.
This article is uniquely vile and utterly disreputable. The zoo in question is the life’s work of the Hahn family and is one of the most beautiful and well kept parks in the nation. A slander suit against this yellow journalism would be well deserved. The NIH trades animals with every zoo in the nation on a continuing basis. There is nothing about this transaction that is out of the ordinary or in any way questionable.
