US government cuts financial ties to controversial Wuhan lab

KARAH RUCKER: 

THE WUHAN LAB IN CHINA HAS BEEN AT THE CENTER OF ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST SIGNIFICANT DEBATES –

[L3: U.S. GOVERNMENT CUTS FUNDING TO WUHAN LAB]

DID COVID ORIGINATE NATURALLY OR DID IT COME FROM A LAB?

DESPITE A LEADING THEORY BEING THE VIRUS CAME FROM THE WUHAN INSTITUTE OF VIROLOGY —

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN **FUNDING THE CHINESE LABORATORY —

UNTIL NOW.

WUHAN LAB FAILED TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTS OVER SAFETY, SECURITY

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT HAS CUT FUTURE FUNDING FOR THE WUHAN LAB AFTER THE INSTITUTE FAILED TO PROVIDE OFFICIALS WITH DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO “LAB SAFETY AND SECURITY.”

OFFICIALS HAD REQUESTED THE WUHAN INSTITUTE COMPLY IN A PROBE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS INTO COVID’S ORIGIN.

HHS: LAB WILL NOT RECEIVE ANOTHER DOLLAR OF FEDERAL FUNDING

THE WUHAN LAB APPARENTLY STONEWALLED THE INVESTIGATION —

LEADING TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES TAKING ACTION TO ENSURE THE CHINESE-BASED LAB QUOTE “DOESN’T RECEIVE ANOTHER DOLLAR OF FEDERAL FUNDING.”

FEDERAL AGENCIES SPLIT ON HOW COVID ORIGINATED

THE U.S. HAD PREVIOUSLY PAID TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO FUND DIFFERENT PROJECTS AT THE WUHAN LAB —

INCLUDING THE CONTROVERSIAL GAIN OF FUNCTION RESEARCH ON BATS —

WHICH SOME FEDERAL AGENCIES SAY MAY HAVE LED TO THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC.

DESPITE SEVERAL AGENCIES INCLUDING THE FBI AND CIA SUGGESTING COVID COULD’VE COME FROM THE WUHAN LAB —

IT’S STILL A TABOO SUBJECT.

ONE THE GOVERNMENT HAS SHIED AWAY FROM.

REPORT: TOP FAUCI ADVISOR HID INFORMATION ON ORIGINS

A TOP ADVISOR TO DOCTOR ANTHONY FAUCI — BIDEN’S TOP HEALTH OFFICIAL DURING THE PANDEMIC — HAS ADMITTED TO **HIDING INFORMATION REGARDING THE ORIGINS OF COVID.

TWO FEDERAL AGENCIES — INCLUDING THE FBI — BELIEVE COVID WAS THE RESULT OF A LAB LEAK.

WHILE FIVE OTHER AGENCIES ASSERTED THE VIRUS SPREAD NATURALLY FROM INFECTED ANIMALS TO HUMANS.

U.S. GOVERNMENT CUTS FINANCIAL TIES TO CONTROVERSIAL LAB

WHILE THERE ARE STRONG ASSERTIONS BOTH WAYS —

THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE ANSWER **HOW COVID ORIGINATED.

BUT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS WASHING ITS HANDS CLEAN OF FINANCIAL TIES TO THE LAB BEHIND ONE OF ITS MOST PROMISING THEORIES.
