Oh really? Well, this is an interesting development…
The Biden Admin will no longer be funding the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) after a review conducted by the Health and Human Services Department determined WIV was “not compliant with federal regulations and is not presently responsible.”
See how they threw in “presently.”
WIV has long been suspected to be ground zero for COVID-19 —a virus that went on to kill 7,000,000 people worldwide, shutting down cities and economies in its wake.
WIV has been cut off after failing to provide documentation requested by the National Institute of Health after lab safety concerns were raised.
“I have determined that the immediate suspension of WIV is necessary to mitigate any potential public health risk,” an official, whose name is redacted, wrote in a memo.
“This action aims to ensure that WIV does not receive another dollar of federal funding,” an HHS spokesperson said in a statement. “The move was undertaken due to WIV’s failure to provide documentation on WIV’s research requested by NIH related to concerns that WIV violated NIH’s biosafety protocols.”
The White Coat Waste Project, an organization that exposed Dr. Anthony Fauci’s funding link to experiments in the Wuhan lab, praised the Biden Admin’s decision.
“We’re thrilled that following our campaign and historic investigations first exposing Fauci’s funding for dangerous gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan animal lab and their direct link to COVID’s likely Patient Zero, the Biden administration has finally suspended all taxpayer funding to the infamous animal testing lab that likely caused COVID and proposed blacklisting it forever,” Justin Goodman, a senior vice president for the organization said in a statement. “This long overdue decision is a decisive victory in the war on waste.”
According to Bloomberg, “The Wuhan Institute of Virology’s leadership hasn’t yet responded to the US government since its decision to make the lab ineligible for future federal awards, including new contracts, grants and other transactions, the HHS spokesperson said.”
“The lab won’t be able to conduct any business with the US as an agent or representative of others, and its affiliation with any organization that does business with the federal government will also be carefully examined.”
Great to hear —but what took so long?
