The Smoking Gun: U.S. Funded COVID’s Patient Zero
Rational Ground-Substack ^ | 2/3/25 | Justin Hart

Let’s get this straight. Dr. Fauci’s NIAID and USAID handed over $41 million in U.S. taxpayer funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV)—the same lab now linked to Ben Hu, the likely Patient Zero of COVID-19. And the kicker? That funding ended right before the pandemic started. (source here)

This isn’t a conspiracy theory—it’s all right there in FOIA-obtained documents exposing how EcoHealth Alliance acted as a middleman, shuffling money from the U.S. government to Chinese scientists working on gain-of-function experiments—the kind that make viruses deadlier and more transmissible.

And where was all this happening? In a lab that was already playing fast and loose with safety protocols.

Follow the Money

Ben Hu, a lead researcher at WIV, was directly funded by U.S. grants to conduct gain-of-function studies on bat coronaviruses.

NIAID (Fauci’s agency) and USAID funneled over $41 million to EcoHealth Alliance, which then sent taxpayer dollars straight to the Wuhan lab.

The funding ran from 2014 to 2019, just in time for the Wuhan lab to be ground zero for a pandemic.

What are the odds?

Everyone is sniffing around the obvious. The CCP and Obama created and released the virus to get rid of Trump. The timing was just too perfect. They killed millions to get rid of just one man.

Exactly. In 2019, China was facing huge protests in Wuhan and Hong Kong. Trump was a runaway freight train for reelection with his great economy.

The deep state crew and China colluded and released it deliberately. It don’t need to be the black death, it just had to spread well and make people very sick like a flu or pneumonia. Medical malpractice, the classic ventilator and remdesivir, forbidding Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquin, and sending people home with zero treatment until they required hospitalization killed huge numbers.

And at the beginning remember all those videos from China of the guys in Hazmat suits spraying disinfectant? And others of people walking along and suddenly falling dead in the street? Remember putting covid positive people in senior citizen rest homes?

It was released deliberately, fanned by propaganda, amplified by insane medical policies.

All so China could have an excuse to stop their rapidly spreading protests and DC could stop Trump’s reelection.

The left has always willing to waste $Hundreds of Billions of taxpayer funds and kill hundreds of thousands or millions of people for political purposes. This is just as true whether you are talking about Nazis, Communists, or Democrats. They are like thieves who will break into homes, cars and businesses and cause $Tens of thousands of damage stealing goods that they sell for a fraction of their value.

My suspicion is that one of the primary purposes of funneling $Billions into Ukraine was to launder huge amounts of money back to politicians and their families. Never mind the costs and human misery. All of this is all consistent with their previous behavior.

I think it would be cool if Trump were to get Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquin approved for over the counter sales.

That “patient zero” reminds me of the absurd way the sex researchers Masters and Johnson fumbled the early days of AIDS.

I read one source where they said they had clinical dealings with a adolescent black male who bragged he had had sex with dozens of partners-—and was possibly a candidate for being identified as the first human to human AIDS case. Spread to dozens.
Masters and Johnson assumed he meant heterosexual and missed tracking the early homosexual victims.

In 1988 Masters and Johnson wrote the book Crisis about AIDS and were blasted in every mainstream source such as Time. One example: they discovered the blood in the banks’ supply of homosexuals’ blood donations was 7 times more likely to contain contagious AIDS in it. Authorities later banned the use of that blood in transfusions.
They had run a program from 1968 to 1977 in changing gays to straight-—total anathema to the woke crowd, of course.

What do you think the Taliban is doing with $40 million per week when 9/11 was funded at $500,000.

And it was moved to Wuhan because Obama has just outlawed GoF research in the US, and Fauci and friends wanted it to be continued, so it was shipped to Wuhan to do.

Agree with you mostly but please remember sources like author Gordon Chang say the Chinese Communist leaders would kill off millions of Americans by nuclear bombs except their plan is to seize control of America. Not with deadly radiation left over.

They want us people dead so they can rule the land, resources, food supply and use the buildings and road system themselves. The US would become the 24th Province of China.
Along with its 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities, and 2 special administrative regions.

Bioweapons and contagious diseases would let them do that.

Chang’s book:
