BREAKING NEWS: Today @NIH confirmed to me 76,000 US taxpayer dollars in FY2019 went to one of the Chinese virology labs in Wuhan at the center of the #CoronavirusOutbreak.
Add this deeply troubling grant transfer to the growing list of reasons why the U.S. needs to rethink its approach to China. China is our greatest geopolitical threat. We need to start acting like it.
The administration should immediately halt US taxpayer funds from going to these Chinese virology labs.

1/x “Amazing” is definitely right word for this video. WaPo “abandoning all pretenses of journalism to produce CCP propaganda” would be another way to put it. If this reporter submitted this video in a freshman logic class, it wouldn’t receive a passing grade. Let’s review facts.
2/x FACT 1: WaPo admits two separate labs in Wuhan were studying coronaviruses derived from bats. One lab was just 300 yards from Wuhan wet market. FACT 2: WaPo admits bats with similar coronaviruses “live in caves 1000 miles away.” FACT 3: WaPo admits both labs had SERIOUS...
3/x ...safety concerns, resulting in multiple US Dept wires—before this crisis—warning that shoddy safety protocols could lead to a global coronavirus pandemic. FACT 4: WaPo admits China DESTROYED the lab samples after the pandemic started (raising the natural inference...

1/x Important article, worth reading in full. WHO IS the “important person” at Harvard who called trying to silence this brave Chinese dissident? The following are 100% verbatim quotes from the Harvard Crimson: “He told me to cancel the talk....” thecrimson.com/article/2020/4…
2/x “He told me the time we were supposed to give our talk, that day was when the Harvard president would fly back from Beijing. And a few weeks before that, the Harvard president was meeting Xi Jinping.”
3/x “The administrator told him hosting an event with two Chinese dissidents only days after a historic meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and then University President Drew G. Faust would ‘embarrass’ Harvard, Teng recalls.”

Very much worth reading. In dealing w/ this pandemic, we need to be driven by science, facts & common sense. Far too many—on both sides of the aisle—view this crisis through a political lens. For many who hate Trump, the virus is all his fault & we must shut EVERYTHING down. 1/x
2/x And too many who love Trump are too quick to dismiss the pandemic as purely media-driven (“hydroxychloroquine will cure it’s all!”) & say everyone must go back to work NOW. If we are being fair & reasonable, NEITHER view makes much sense. Trump didn’t create this virus....
3/x ...and the Admin is working hard (albeit imperfectly) to combat it. We should continue to work to slow the spread of the virus, w/o giving in to hysteria. And we must get as many people back to work as soon as humanly possible—varying geographically based on medical facts.
