NIH Gives Peter Daszak’s Eco Health $653,392 to Study Bat Coronaviruses in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam

The United States government just awarded a new grant to British zoologist Dr. Peter Daszak, the scandal-plagued director of the EcoHealth Alliance, to study bat coronaviruses in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam,” including “viral sequences and isolates for use in vaccine development.”

EcoHealth Alliance has reportedly received $60 million in federal dollars over the past decade, and some of the funding made its way to the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

The New York-based research organization funneled hundreds of thousands of American tax dollars to the Wuhan Lab to conduct dangerous gain-of-function research ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Now, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is giving EcoHealth $653,392 for a project, titled: “Analyzing the potential for future bat coronavirus emergence in Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam.” The research started on September 21, 2022, and is projected to end on August 31, 2027.

Daszak worked closely with Wuhan lab “bat lady” Shi Zhengli for years, sending the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-controlled Wuhan lab U.S. government funding.

Within weeks of the first confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Washington state in January of 2020, NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci was aware that the deadly virus may have leaked from the Wuhan lab, according to emails released in June of 2021. In January and February of 2020, Fauci was hearing from colleagues that the emerging coronavirus global pandemic looked potentially engineered.

Before the outbreak, the Wuhan Institute of Virology had been conducting risky gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses with funding from Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Fauci had for years been an enthusiastic advocate of gain-of-function research, which involves “juicing up” viruses to make them more infectious and deadly in humans. In 2012, Fauci wrote in a paper for the American Society for Microbiology that gain-of-function experiments were “important work,” well worth the risks.

As COVID-19 began to dominate the news cycle in early 2020, Fauci was faced with the possibility that the risky research he had advocated for, had lead to a deadly global pandemic, and he immediately set about suppressing any scientific analyses that pointed in that direction. Fauci had a conference call and exchanged emails with a number of doctors and virologists who were entertaining the lab leak theory, and soon after, they changed their mind about...
