NIH official finally admits taxpayers funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan — after years of denials
NY POST ^ | May 16 | Josh Christenson

At long last, National Institutes of Health (NIH) principal deputy director Lawrence Tabak admitted to Congress Thursday that US taxpayers funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China in the months and years before the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Dr. Tabak,” asked Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Ariz.) of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, “did NIH fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through [Manhattan-based nonprofit] EcoHealth [Alliance]?”

“It depends on your definition of gain-of-function research,” Tabak answered. “If you’re speaking about the generic term, yes, we did.”

I remember some Freepers mentioned that research and at the time the documents were out and on the Internet to see.
Then it got scrubbed.

The fact that the NIH funded COVID-19 research in Wuhan is the reason the NIH/government refused to admit that there was a lab leak of COVID-19 in Wuhan. They knew that they were culpable for releasing COVID-19 into the wild from their own China labs.

There should have been police, guards, something....just outside the doors. As soon as he admitted that he gets arrested along with Fauzi and anyone else involved.

Life sentences.

No pension. No benefits.

No parole.

Owning up? So what happens now? Absolutely nothing.

It’s beyond pathetic how the government commits massive violations of law by lying constantly and even when caught red handed with full evidence of wrong doing absolutely nothing happens.

“Generic Term” vs “definition” — these people are sly.

They can admit it now because We The People have been completely neutered, so no punishment will be forthcoming.

Millions killed by the US regime as a result.

No one is being held accountable. Because we are under occupation.

Of course. Premeditated if you ask me. Near genocidal.

More on that here.

Why US outsourced bat virus research to Wuhan

Many conservatives argue that overregulation is what drives much of this work offshore, but if they had followed regulations instead of taking the cheap way out, none of this would have happened.
