The study identifying #RaTG13 was partially supported by NIH grant:R01AI110964 (link.springer.com/article/10.100…). US taxpayers' money was used for collecting/studying coronavirus samples from Mojiang mineshaft! @congressdotgov has the right/obligation to investigate this! @USRightToKnow
Congress Letter to NIH on taxpayer-funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. @R_H_Ebright @TheSeeker268 @Ayjchan @BillyBostickson @jbloom_lab @ydeigin @Rossana38510044 scribd.com/document/49570…
@SenJoniErnst also sent a letter to HHS:"NIH has provided nearly $15 million to EcoHealth Alliance, a group that has been collaborating with and sending U.S. taxpayer dollars to China’s state-run Wuhan
Institute of Virology..." @R_H_Ebright @TheSeeker268
ernst.senate.gov/public/_cache/…
"A review of EcoHealth Alliance’s press releases & published studies...demonstrates a total disregard for the Stevens Amendment requirements…I would...request the Office of the Inspector General conduct a thorough review of enforcement and compliance.” ernst.senate.gov/public/index.c…
"More than two dozen Republican House members demanded the HHS Department's independent watchdog investigate the NIH’s response to concerns raised about taxpayer-funded research at WIV, one of the potential origins of the coronavirus pandemic." washingtonexaminer.com/news/gop-nih-w…
Senator @ChuckGrassley also sent an inquiry letter to DHHS. See the highlighted requests related to WIV research, Mojiang miners' case (conspiracy theory based on "experts"🤔), NIH funding to WIV etc.👇@R_H_Ebright @jbloom_lab @Ayjchan #DRASTIC

"Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 21 to 1 in approval of a ... China competition bill that includes a provision ordering the Director of National Intelligence to produce a report assessing the theory that COVID19 could have leaked from WIV." 👇dailycaller.com/2021/04/21/sen…
Read the full bill here 👇 hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/…
Finally! NIH Director @NIHDirector agreed that lab-leak theory worth further investigation. Well, better late than never.
ICYMI. Here's the letter Congress Committee members @cathymcmorris, @RepGuthrie, & @RepMGriffith
sent to @NIHDirector related to @NIH-funded work at the Wuhan Lab of Virology👇 republicans-energycommerce.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
"My amendment would ensure not another dime of taxpayer dollars goes, spent subsidizing communist China." @SenJoniErnst 👍 #FollowTheMoney foxnews.com/politics/senat…
"No taxpayer money should have ever been used to fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan, and now we permanently have put it to a stop." 👇 #FollowTheMoney
They should suspend the parent grant (Project #: R01AI110964; PI: Daszak) that supported WIV research (#RaTG13 & potential GOF studies). The grant was renewed in 2019 and is still active! 👇 @SenJoniErnst @RandPaul #FollowTheMoney
The same PI, Peter Daszak just received a 5-year new grant (U01AI151797) with 1st year budget over $1.5M👇He has been lying on his COI with WIV & deceived US taxpayers. He should be on #NIH's #DONOTFUND list. @SenJoniErnst @RandPaul #FollowTheMoney
In addition to NIH, Peter Daszak is involved in many other grants/contracts such as PREDICT and The Global Virome Project (GVP) supported by US Taxpayers' money including USAID, USDA, DOD and others. science.sciencemag.org/content/359/63…
More information about PREDICT--supported by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) grant 👇

Ironically, the goal of Global Virome Project: "A collaborative scientific initiative to discover zoonotic viral threats & stop future pandemics"

Today, the U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan AMENDMENT ....calling for a transparent investigation into the COVID-19 outbreak mandated by the World Health Assembly during its current session, which ends on Monday. 👍
Senate also passed a bill to "declassify all U.S. intel related to the Wuhan lab and COVID-19 pandemic, so the American people and independent researchers can get answers." 👇
Here you go! EcoHealth/@PeterDaszak needs to be subpoenaed! #FollowTheMoney @SenJoniErnst @RandPaul @cathymcmorris
Bipartisan support at last!
"Their investigative scope includes the NIH, and the EcoHealth Alliance, which received the funding and subsequently awarded it to the WIV." #FollowTheMoney
House Republicans are calling for a congressional investigation into the origins of COVID-19. The letter from 209 House Republicans demands House Speaker Nancy Pelosi allow a congressional probe into the virus's origins. msn.com/en-us/news/pol…

The EcoHealth..a foundation he created a decade ago out of a sleepy wildlife charity, has been garnering $17 million a year mainly from the Pentagon, the US NIH and the US Agency for International Development — and paying him (Daszak)$400,000 a year 👇spectator.co.uk/article/the-co…
"Dr. Daszak, a British-born parasitologist, is an accomplished ‘grantrepreneur’ who built an empire out of hunting viruses and analysing them in laboratories, much of it in China."-@mattwridley Here's one of new grants he recently received from #NIH👇
Can @washingtonpost or others also request EchoHealth/Dr. Daszak's grant applications through #FOIA? He receives $17 millions of US taxpayers' money each year from @NIH, @USAID,@DeptofDefense,@NSF... @joshrogin @yabutaleb7 @damianpaletta @WhiteCoatWaste
Apparently lawsuit is underway to request grant applications from @EcoHealthNYC👇Time to expose shady organization that sucks up millions of dollars of US Taxpayers' money each year but refuses to respond US congress inquiry! @cathymcmorris @SenJoniErnst
Congress sent yet another letter to demand answers on how U.S. taxpayer dollars could fund dangerous research at WIV. This is one of many inquiry letters from congress (see this 🧵) but subpoenas are probably needed to get their attention!
"By 2018, @EcoHealthNYC was pulling in up to $15 million a year in grant money from an array of federal agencies, including (DOD, DHS & USAID), according to 990 tax exemption forms it filed..."-@KatherineEban
However, @EcoHealthNYC keeps ignoring the Congress' inquiry letter 👇@EcoHealthNYC/@PeterDaszak need to be subpoenaed!!! #FollowTheMoney @SenJoniErnst @SenGillibrand @cathymcmorris @RepDianaDeGette @RepAnnaEshoo @SteveScalise @RogerMarshallMD @SenatorBraun republicans-energycommerce.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
The house E&C Committee sent Daszak 34 questions about his charity's involvement with the WIV in April with a May 17 deadline(👆🧵). Daszak has failed to respond to any of its questions. Again subpoena is needed!!! @cathymcmorris @RepGuthrie @RepMGriffith
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
"Federal grant data...shows that the charity (@EcoHealthNYC) has received more than $123 million from the government in total...It is not known how much of the money actually went to WIV" 👇#FollowTheMoney @SenJoniErnst @SenGillibrand @cathymcmorris dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
@EcoHealthNYC ignored the Congress' inquiry letter and they need to be subpoenaed!!! #FollowTheMoney
"According to one prominent scientist..Daszak did not have a laboratory of his own, nor was he performing his own research, as most grant recipients did. What he did have, however, was a network of partnerships with other laboratories, including Shi’s WIV."archive.is/izOqF#selectio…
