Australian universities are crying foul after the Trump administration asks questions that put $386 million in research grants in jeopardy. The bone of contention was a questionnaire sent to Australian grant recipients asking if the institution had "ties to communist or socialist parties, receive funding from China and it only recognises male and female sexes." The grants were frozen in January, shortly after President Trump was inaugurated, but were unfrozen at some time thereafter. This new round of questions is the second time the universities were queried, but this time, it has their attention. Seven days after the Trump administration...

"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...

WASHINGTON — Today, after an eight-month investigation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cut off all funding and formally debarred EcoHealth Alliance Inc. (EcoHealth) and its former President, Dr. Peter Daszak, for five years based on evidence uncovered by the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. In a new letter, HHS states “that a period of debarment for Dr. Daszak is necessary to protect the Federal Government’s business interests.” This letter also confirms that EcoHealth terminated Dr. Daszak’s employment effective January 6, 2025. EcoHealth and Dr. Daszak facilitated gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China without proper oversight and...

Virologist Beata Halassy says self-treatment worked and was a positive experience — but researchers warn that it is not something others should try.Viruses such as measles (pictured here) can be used to attack cancerous cells. Credit: Eye Of Science/Science Photo Library A scientist who successfully treated her own breast cancer by injecting the tumour with lab-grown viruses has sparked discussion about the ethics of self-experimentation. Beata Halassy discovered in 2020, aged 49, that she had breast cancer at the site of a previous mastectomy. It was the second recurrence there since her left breast had been removed, and she...

Documents authored by Canada’s top intelligence service reveal the long awaited explanation behind the abrupt departure of two virologists from Canada’s top biolaboratory. ... The documents, which have been viewed by The Counter Signal and published here for our readers expose the Trudeau government for hiding the true reason for the departure of Dr. Xiangguo Qiu Canada’s Public Health agency. ... Despite the Liberals citing the departure as a private “personnel issue,” the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) accuses Dr. Qiu of a long history of clandestine actions that put Canadians’ heath and security at risk, along with directly assisting...

In the wake of the recent discovery of newly disclosed documents by the House Select Subcommittee on the COVID Pandemic, a former State Department investigator insists there is evidence indicating that Dr. Anthony Fauci not only knew about the gain-of-function research at the Wuhan laboratory but also recognized the man-made nature of COVID. It’s well known at this point that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were conducting gain-of-function research with funding originating from the National Institutes of Health. According to the redacted documents, on Feb. 1, 2020, Fauci wrote a letter acknowledging that while it was still possible...

National Institute of Health (NIH) officials have re-activated a previously terminated $576,290 federal grant to EcoHealth Alliance to study how outbreaks of deadly viruses like SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 originate from wildlife and transfers to humans.The move has prompted one Republican lawmaker to demand that NIH explain the decision she described as “absolutely reckless.”“Most emerging human viruses come from wildlife, and coronaviruses in particular represent a significant threat to public health and biosecurity in the U.S. and globally, as was demonstrated by the SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 outbreaks,” is how the NIH describes the purpose of the renewed grant.The...

A former vice president for the EcoHealth Alliance, a major funder of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claims that his organization "developed" SARS-CoV-2 through gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous. "The process of developing SARS-CoV-2 was also described in detail in the proposal submitted to, and ultimately funded by, the National Institutes of Health (HHS NIH), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), by EcoHealth Alliance with the WIV and [University of North Carolina] listed as collaborators," according to the sworn declaration of Andrew Huff, who is represented by the attorney Thomas Renz. The statement is included...

Former acting Director of National Intelligence and Ambassador Ric Grenell joined Lou Dobbs podcast recently to discuss the COVID-19 coverup. Ric told Lou that every single intelligence agency signed off on a statement back on April 30th of 2020 declaring China was responsible for the Covid pandemic. The intel agencies agreed that the virus originated in the Wuhan Virology Lab. Grenell goes on to say, “There was a cover-up.” According to Grenell: The Sec. of Energy recently came out with a statement that the Covid virus originated in the Wuhan laboratory, but we already knew that. Why make the statement...

Dr. Robert Redfield, a virologist and the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), testified under oath Wednesday that he believes U.S. tax dollars paid for the research that created COVID and that the funds came from several agencies, including the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense (DoD). So far, COVID has killed 1.1 million people in the United States and 6.8 million worldwide. Dr. Redfield testified before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis. Redfield was the director of the CDC from 2018-2021. There, he "oversaw the agency's response to...

Before the allopathic Rockefeller establishment took over in the early 1900s and turned healthcare into a “medical industrial complex”, homeopathic scientists understood (and still do) viral particles as merely the product of dead or dying cells. They are dead, inert and harmless outside the body. Story over.The Rockefeller establishment embraced Louis Pasteur’s stolen “germ theory”, which supposes that viral particles can invade a body from the outside. Of course, it’s called a theory, because it’s never been proven.By the 1950s, the pseudo-science of virology was on the rocks, as the germ theory crowd realized that viruses do not reproduce themselves....

The WHO is rethinking its earlier stand on giving a hasty clean chit on COVID outbreak from a lab The recent report by the World Health Organisation’s expert group has, according to an agency report, stated that “further research is needed to determine how COVID-19 first began, including a more detailed analysis of the possibility it was a laboratory accident”, which implies that lab leak is a distinct possibility. It needs to be mentioned that for more than a year, the UN body and a large number of scientists maintained that the origin of the Coronavirus was natural. They were...

New revelations have come out about Anthony Fauci, the mad medic, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President. This time from Australia. We first noted the Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2020 and in April noted that the Institute experimented with live animals. We also know that all work in virology in China is connected with the Chinese military and therefore any work in China in this area is in conjunction with the Chinese military. Sharri Markson from Sky News is coming out with a book that’s a...

CCP “agreed” to allow mention of the lab leak theory, on the grounds that they did not recommend ANY follow up investigations.. The head of the World Health Organization’s origin investigation into COVID-19 has admitted that China basically ordered his team on what to write in their report and allowed them to mention the lab leak theory, but only on the condition that they didn’t recommend following it up. Revealing what is clear evidence of a cover up, the Washington Post reports that Danish WHO chief Ben Embarek made the admission after also commenting that he believes patient zero was...

Changes to blood cells caused by the coronavirus may explain why so many patients suffer from long Covid, researchers say. German researchers have found that the virus alters the size and stiffness of red and white blood cells, making it harder to get oxygen and nutrients around the body. Their small study of 55 people found that these changes can last for several months, which may explain why many Covid patients become 'long haulers'. They believe the disruption to oxygen flow is the root of the common symptoms which plague long Covid patients - breathing issues, tiredness and headaches. But...

New, difficult-to-detect variants of the African swine fever virus circulating in China have spread the disease to pig herds across the country this year, leading to rising incidents of mass infection on farms and stepped-up control measures to stop swine fever’s further spread into livestock supply chains. Since late last year, provinces including Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu and Guangdong, as well as the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, have reported new outbreaks. Farms have reported that infected pigs typically show only mild symptoms in the early stages but have a longer incubation period, making it difficult to diagnose the disease before...

Three researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) were reportedly hospitalized with an unknown infection in November 2019. The researchers were hospitalized around the time COVID-19 is believed to have begun circulating in China, according to a United States intelligence report obtained by The Wall Street Journal. The report raises new questions about the origins of the virus, which some researchers, intelligence officials, and politicians believe is likely to have escaped from the WIV. The Chinese government claims that doctors diagnosed the first COVID-19 infection on Dec. 8, 2019, but reporting from the South China Morning Post suggested that...

A letter sent Tuesday from members of Congress to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm is demanding a “prompt and thorough investigation” into the National Institutes of Health’s relationship with the Chinese Communist Party-run Wuhan Institute of Virology. The 28 congressional signers, led by Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., write: "The NIH, unfortunately, has played a major role in supporting [the Wuhan Institute of Virology] and this treacherous research and the promotion of spurious claims dismissing the NIH-funded lab’s potential role in the COVID-19 pandemic." The Wuhan Institute of Virology is suspected by experts, including...
