NIH to Investigate Funding for Chicom Lab in Wuhan

Timothy Birdnow

The U.S. is investigating the company that gave U.S. tax dollars to China's Wuhan biological warfare lab.

From Breitbart:

A letter from Dr. Michael Lauer, the NIH’s deputy director for extramural research, to Kevin Olival of EcoHealth Alliance and Naomi Schrag of Columbia University, obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, informs them the matter is under investigation.

"EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. is the recipient, as grantee, of an NIH grant entitled ‘Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergency,’” Lauer wrote in the letter, dated April 19. "It is our understanding that one of the sub-recipients of the grant funds is the Wuhan Institute of Virology (‘WIV’). It is our understanding that WIV studies the interaction between corona viruses and bats. The scientific community believes that the coronavirus causing COVID-19 jumped from bats to humans likely in Wuhan where the COVID-19 pandemic began. There are now allegations that the current crisis was precipitated by the release from WIV of the coronavirus responsible for COVID-19. Given these concerns, we are pursuing suspension of WIV from participation in Federal programs.”

Unless the DOJ is involved (and perhaps not then) this thing will wind up as a whitewash, methinks. The Chinese have a lot of money to spread around and no doubt have agents inside the NIH. Furthermore, they have a lot of politicians in their pockets (for example, Dianne Feinstein and Joe Biden) and there is enormous pressure to let this go. The purpose of any lower level investigation is to close the case.

That case should NOT be closed. But Washington runs on money and power and the Chicoms have both. It is a habitation of harlots and I have little doubt the Chinese will buy or bully their way out of this if we let them.

This is why you don't do national security or anything related to it by farming it out to the lowest bidder.
