What happened in the three years in between?
Then in 2014, in the wake of a series of biosafety incidents involving microbiology experiments at U.S. government facilities, including
in which samples of a relatively benign avian flu virus were inadvertently contaminated with H5N1 by influenza researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the NIH announced a pause on new funding for gain-of-function studies. According to the
, the pause was specifically directed at "gain-of-function research projects that reasonably may be anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, MERS [Middle East Respiratory Syndrome], and SARS [Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome] viruses such that the resulting virus” is either more deadly or better able to spread in mammals.
In all, 18 laboratories were affected. Their new grant funding was frozen, and researchers in these labs were asked to put their gain-of-function work on hold while a team of experts undertook what became a three-year effort to craft new federal oversight policies.
During this time, however, and with Fauci's approval, the NIAID continued to supply
to the Wuhan investigators, who were trying to predict where the next coronavirus outbreak might come from. During his July spat with Fauci, Paul singled out
co-authored by Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based nonprofit group through which the NIAID money was channeled. (EcoHealth's press officer, Robert Kessler, declined to make anyone available for an interview, and said in an email: "We've not conducted gain-of-function research, so aren't really good authorities to speak on the subject.")
Here is a wealth of insight on how and how much money was funneled to the lab in Wuhan China.
“There are a lot of unknowns, speculation and differences of opinion on these topics. But let’s start with what we do know: In 2014, the NIH awarded a grant to the U.S.-based
to study the
. In 2019, the project was renewed for another five years, but it was
— three months after
of the coronavirus was confirmed in the U.S.
EcoHealth ultimately received $3.7 million over six years from the NIH and distributed nearly
of that total to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, a collaborator on the project, pre-approved by NIH.”
And to be clear there are arguments for and against the idea it was natural or engineered……if not engineered…….why lie for so long?
If it walks like a duck right? Too much circumstantial evidence to rule out the involvement of the NIH under the Obama Administration to cast aside the potential for the C-19 tragedy to be a planned event
Then:
The genesis of the development of C-19 that would be unleashed on the world
Funding pipeline is turned back on with direct funding by the NIH……..no longer hiding the funding through the third party organization.
Once the Pandemic hit……those involved worked feverishly to stomp out the idea that C-19 was engineered
Time and time Fauci lied about funding and his involvement with the Wuhan lab
Years of denial……..but in the end…..
Between the US involvement by the Obama Administration, the efforts to deflect and control the narrative, and the denials I believe it there’s a high probability that C-19 was an organized event…….the timing was uncanny.
