Feds disbar EcoHealth Alliance and its former president after COVID controversy

"Today’s decision is not only a victory for the U.S. taxpayer, but also for American national security and the safety of citizens worldwide," House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement.

The House Oversight Committee on Friday announced that the Department of Health and Human Services officially cut all federal funding and disbarred EcoHealth Alliance and its former President Peter Daszak for five years.

The company and Daszak allegedly facilitated and passed taxpayer money for to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, which is a suspected source of COVID-19, and did so without proper government oversight, according to the committee.

File Dr.-Peter-Daszak-HHS-Notice_Jan-17-2025_Redacted.pdf “Justice for the American people was served today," House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement. "Bad actor EcoHealth Alliance and its corrupt former President, Dr. Peter Daszak, were formally debarred by HHS for using taxpayer funds to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research in China. Today’s decision is not only a victory for the U.S. taxpayer, but also for American national security and the safety of citizens worldwide."

The decision comes after the department suspended EcoHealth Alliance's funding in May, and recommended a permanent ban on funding for the nonprofit. It also suggested the alliance's and Daszak's disbarment, because the nonprofit had repeatedly violated the terms of its National Institute of Health grant, but HHS did not made a final decision on the matter until Friday.

Daszak is right up there with Fauci.

Hopefully many more legal problems are headed his way.

Should be “barred” or “debarred” — not “disbarred.”

Gosh, this sounds familiar. Sorta like the Feds closing that DEI office. Do they have the current it's going to take to delete that many files simultaneously?

Somebody should pull the power to those server farms NOW to preserve those documents.

The HHS Department recommended a permanent ban but, in the end, only gave Ecohealth FIVE YEARS?

How about prison for Daszak and a PERMANENT ban?

How the heck did it get reduced to five years? Who the hell went to bat for them? What Democrats supported them? We want names!

Comer better get after this after next Monday.

This guy should be permanently barred from any federal contracts/funding. He actively hid his malfeasance and helped cover up the peril he put the public in. Should be prosecuted for any possible violation.

Covid bioweapon to hopefully be exposed.
Soros dumped money into EcoHealth and was awarded a medal by Biden.

Dr.-Peter-Daszak aka Mr Gain of Function. This clown is worth at least 5 million dollars, from all the gain of function funding he secured from the Federales, then dispersed to his favorite bullshit researchers.

He lobbied hard for years at DARPA, NIH, other US defense agencies for virus research grants. Much of it gain of function research to keep idiot scientists employed. Similar to global warming researchers universities.

EcoHealth Alliance has secured significant federal funding over the last two decades. According to available information:

From FY 2008 to FY 2024, EcoHealth Alliance received an estimated nearly $100 million from the federal government through various means such as contracts, grants, direct payments, loans, and other financial assistance.

Additional insights from X posts indicate that EcoHealth Alliance has been involved in receiving substantial federal funding, with mentions of over $50 million since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and active grants at various points totaling significant sums. However, these posts do not provide a comprehensive view over the full 20-year period but highlight the scale of funding in more recent years.

Please note that these figures and insights are based on available data up to the point of the posts and articles referenced, and they might not cover the entire 20-year span comprehensively. For a precise total over the last 20 years, further detailed analysis or official records would be necessary.

It would be very interesting to see the results of forensic audits of entities like this one. A lot of taxpayer money has flowed through these “non profit” and tax advantaged organizations with little or no oversight.

Understand this EcoHealth Alliance still points directly back to Fauci. That is where the opensource trail led at the time.

Wake me up when these criminals are actually prosecuted and sent to prison

How many millions of lives were lost and disrupted by their perfidy?

The names of everyone who had anything to do with the creation and impact of the COVID should be added to the list of history’s greatest mass murderers.

In 2015, fwiw Duszak said,

“We need to increase public understanding of the need for medical countermeasures such as a pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media, and the economics will follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage, to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process.”>/p>
