Judicial Watch Sues HHS for Director’s Emails on China and Covid Research
Our government’s medical bureaucrats seem determined to obscure their entanglement with China and coronavirus research before the pandemic struck. We’re equally determined to get to the bottom of it.
We filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for all emails of National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins related to gain of function research, hydroxychloroquine and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (Judicial Watch v U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (No. 1:21-cv-02302)).
We sued after the National Institutes of Health failed to respond to our June 8, 2021, FOIA request for:
All emails sent to and from Director Francis Collins related to “gain of function”, “hydroxychloroquine”, “HCQ”, and/or “Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
When challenged about whether the National Institutes of Health supported gain of function research, Collins released a statement on May 19, 2021, claiming:
Based on outbreaks of coronaviruses caused by animal to human transmissions such as in Asia in 2003 that caused Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and in Saudi Arabia in 2012 that caused Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), NIH and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) have for many years supported grants to learn more about viruses lurking in bats and other mammals that have the potential to spill over to humans and cause widespread disease. However, neither NIH nor NIAID have ever approved any grant that would have supported ‘gain-of-function’ research on coronaviruses that would have increased their transmissibility or lethality for humans.
An August 26, 2021, report by the Washington Post claims the NIH has been funding gain of function research for years. Gain of function research involves experimentation that aims to increase the transmissibility and/or virulence of pathogens. According to the report:
In the United States, NIH Director Francis S. Collins and Anthony S. Fauci, director of the agency’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have led the federal funding and oversight of gain-of-function research.
Eight years ago, Collins and Fauci helped put in place high-level reviews and other safeguards in response to concerns raised by Relman [David A. Relman, a Stanford University physician and microbiologist] and aides to President Barack Obama, who were alarmed by what they saw as insufficient scrutiny of the research with ferrets. The NIH leaders and the Department of Health and Human Services pledged to subject the work to increased transparency and vetting. This included forming a review group of federal officials — known informally as a “Ferrets Committee” — to vet proposed projects for safety and worthiness.
However, Collins and Fauci in recent years have helped shape policy changes, directly and through their aides, that undercut the committee’s authority, according to federal documents, congressional testimony and interviews with dozens of present and former officials and science experts.
Since then, the experiments have continued to unfold amid secrecy, and HHS, which administers the review committee, has kept its work confidential: No agendas, meeting minutes or other records of its proceedings are public. Even the names of the federal officials assigned to serve on the committee, which has spanned the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations, are kept secret
On Sunday, March 7, 2021, Collins argued to CBS News that hydroxychloroquine was a “bust:”
“Basically it was a bust … maybe it got in the way of trying other kinds of repurposed drugs. All the enthusiasm about hydroxychloroquine was basically dependent on anecdotal reports,” Collins said. “And that did leave everybody with kind of a sour taste in their mouths … we had to get over that. I think we’re over it now.”
Bottom line: The NIH, our nation’s medical research agency, is in full cover-up mode about the COVID-19 controversies and politics. Where are the emails?
Our “big dig” into this issue is well underway with respect to Dr. Fauci.
On August 25, 2021, we made public 129 pages of records from HHS that included an “urgent for Dr. Fauci” email chain which cites ties between the Wuhan lab and the taxpayer-funded EcoHealth Alliance. The government emails also reported that the foundation of U.S. billionaire Bill Gates worked closely with the Chinese government to pave the way for Chinese-produced medications to be sold outside China and help “raise China’s voice of governance by placing representatives from China on important international counsels as high level commitment from China.
In July, we obtained records from NIAID officials in connection with the Wuhan Institute of Virology revealing significant collaborations and funding that began in 2014. The records revealed that NIAID gave nine China-related grants to EcoHealth Alliance to research coronavirus emergence in bats and was the NIH’s top issuer of grants to the Wuhan lab itself.
Also in July, we uncovered CDC records revealing that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to control the COVID narrative and “misinformation” and that over $3.5 million in free advertising has been given to the CDC by social media companies.
In June, we announced that we had filed FOIA lawsuits against the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the State Department for information on the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
Also in June, we obtained records from HHS revealing that from 2014 to 2019, $826,277 was given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for bat coronavirus research by the NIAID.
In March, we publicly released emails and other records of Fauci and Dr. H. Clifford Lane from HHS showing that NIH officials tailored confidentiality forms to China’s terms and that the WHO conducted an unreleased, “strictly confidential” COVID-19 epidemiological analysis in January 2020. Additionally, the emails reveal an independent journalist in China pointing out the inconsistent COVID numbers in China to NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special Projects Lane.
In October 2020, we uncovered emails showing a WHO entity pushing for a press release, approved by Fauci, “especially” supporting China’s COVID-19 response.
You can see how Judicial Watch is again stepping up to the plate to investigate one of the biggest stories in our nation’s and the world’s history.

When are these two going to be perp walked to prison/the gallows?
Please me to your ping list
The more I read about this, the more it looks like Covid-19 is man made. I suspect it was a gain of function project that escaped the lab some how. If it was deliberate or accidental, we will probably never know
Agreed, they’re long overdue.
Welcome MNJohnnie, you’re on.
Judicial Watch is one of the few entities that is on the side of ordinary Americans and against the swamp. We need to support Judicial Watch.
Are there ever any winning results posted?
The criminal gang of Obamamites are allied with enemies of the US, because they are themselves enemies of the US.
“When are these two going to be perp walked to prison/the gallows?”
It’s going to be more than just those two. The ball is already in motion for Nuremberg 2 being pushed by Attn. Reiner Fuelmitch and Dr. Richard Fleming.
Fauci, deservedly so is going to become another like Dr. Karl Brandt who was hung after his Crimes Against Humanity conviction at Nuremberg.
“I suspect it was a gain of function project that escaped the lab some how. If it was deliberate or accidental, we will probably never know”
Read this, especially the last part, It may help you decide.
Ping!
Just got you added to list, better late than never. :^)

Last 2 paragraphs from that link; it’s a secret speech by a Chinese govt official:
Now, it seems like we are in the same critical period as the “horses were drinking water” in the Yangtze River days in the revolutionary era, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved. Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites.
Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for the birth of China’s century. As war approaches, I am full of hope for our next generation.”
