Today, @COVIDSelect released a staff-level report recommending EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak be formally debarred and criminally investigated as a result of his actions prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The report also exposes serious, systemic weaknesses at the National Institutes of Health that enabled EcoHealth to fund dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China.
KEY FINDINGS🧵👇
🚨EcoHealth used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Overwhelming primary source documents and credible firsthand testimony confirm this finding.
🚨EcoHealth violated the terms and conditions of its NIH grant by failing to report a potentially dangerous gain-of-function experiment conducted at the WIV.
Evidence shows that Dr. Daszak was aware of this potentially dangerous research, yet he failed to inform the NIH.
🚨EcoHealth also violated NIH grant requirements when it failed to submit a required research update report until nearly TWO YEARS after the NIH deadline.
This report contained details about EcoHealth's dangerous gain-of-function work at the WIV.
🚨The Trump Administration identified serious concerns with EcoHealth Alliance’s funding of the WIV and instructed NIH to fix the problem. Then, NIH terminated EcoHealth’s grant.
This intervention likely prevented EcoHealth from continuing to conduct dangerous research.
🚨NIH is currently violating the terms of the WIV’s formal debarment by funding EcoHealth’s research.
When Dr. Daszak applied for grant reinstatement, he omitted a material fact and misled the NIH about the location of untested samples.

Today, @COVIDSelect released the transcript from former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins's transcribed interview. Dr. Collins helped lead America's COVID-19 pandemic response.
Key Takeaways🧵👇
✔️Dr. Collins testified that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation promoted by federal health officials was likely not based on any science or data.
✔️Dr. Collins stated that the COVID-19 lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.
Dr. Anthony Fauci will testify publicly for the FIRST TIME since retiring from public service at a @COVIDSelect hearing on Monday, June 3, 2024.
In January, @COVIDSelect completed a two-day, 14-hour transcribed interview with Dr. Fauci that revealed serious, systemic failures in our public health systems.
Here are the most important takeaways from his closed-door testimony🧵👇
✖️Dr. Fauci testified that the “6 feet apart” social distancing recommendation — that was used to shut down small businesses and schools across America — “sort of just appeared."
EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak will testify at a public hearing on May 1, 2024.
Dr. Daszak must answer questions about COVID-19 origins, dangerous gain-of-function research, and his relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
Dr. Daszak and his colleagues at the Wuhan Institute of Virology used taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research.
Mounting evidence continues to show that COVID likely originated from a Wuhan lab.
Ironically, @EcoHealthNYC's mission is to prevent pandemics.
During his closed-door transcribed interview on November 14, 2023, Dr. Daszak appears to have lied to Congress.
Dr. Daszak made numerous claims that were inconsistent with documents and evidence reviewed by @COVIDSelect, @GOPoversight, and @HouseCommerce.
@COVIDSelect announces a subpoena to compel former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to appear for a deposition.
Governor Cuomo forced New York nursing homes to accept COVID-19 positive patients. Americans died.
Accountability and honesty are non-negotiable👇
On March 25, 2020, Cuomo issued a “must-admit” order that forced New York nursing homes and long-term care facilities to admit or re-admit potentially contagious and untested COVID-19 patients.
The consequences were deadly.
It was reported that more than 15,000 individuals died in New York nursing homes and long-term care facilities during the Cuomo Administration.
Early in the pandemic, science proved that age was the most important factor for predicting COVID mortality.
Today, @COVIDSelect conducted a transcribed interview of Dr. David Morens — a top advisor to Dr. Fauci.
Dr. Morens potentially deleted COVID-19 material and likely used his personal email to avoid FOIA during the pandemic.
Key takeaways from his testimony🧵👇
✔️Dr. Morens characterized EcoHealth Alliance President Dr. Peter Daszak as a close friend.
EcoHealth Alliance — an American non-profit whose mission is to prevent pandemics — used taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
✔️Despite Dr. Fauci’s concession that the lab-leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory, Dr. Morens stood with 100% certainty behind the zoonotic origin of COVID-19.
Further, Dr. Morens admitted he has not explored any of the scientific evidence behind a potential lab leak.
