By now, everyone's heard about the #WuhanLab & #lableak 🧪🦠🦇🐭

Via #FOIA, we unearthed documents showing that EcoHealth was collecting dangerous bat coronaviruses around the world (incl in Laos) & shipping them to the #WuhanLab for experiments 🦇🦠🧪💸

Using @usaspending (created by @TomCoburnMD & @BarackObama), we exposed how EcoHealth--which has raked in $46M in tax $ just since the pandemic began--also received $1.5M in pandemic bailout funds (for a pandemic they likely caused)!

Using #FOIA, we exposed how the Wuhan animal lab is STILL ELIGIBLE to receive taxpayer $ specifically for animal testing (until 2024!)! 💸💉🧪🦇🐭🐈🐒🐕☠️🔪

Reviewing public records, we documented how Wuhan animal lab funder EcoHealth Alliance repeatedly violated federal transparency law by failing to disclose how it spent taxpayers' money 🔎💸

Using @usaspending & other sources, we found that the disgraced EcoHealth Alliance got $46M in new tax $ just since the pandemic (which it may have started) began for more virus-hunting & dangerous animal tests in foreign labs 💸🧪🦠🦇🐹🐁🌎
