Wuhan Lab Wanted MORE Subsidies
Other than Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins — the heads of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) — no one with any intelligence denies those agencies subsidized potentially catastrophic gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) that created the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. The subsidies to the lab were reported last year, and two grant proposals recently unearthed by the Interceptclearly show the subsidies did indeed pay for the dangerous experiments. Nor does any objective observer seriously dispute that the virus escaped an institute lab.
Yet in late September, DRASTIC, the Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19, reported that the mad scientists involved in this Moreau-like research were planning even more dangerous work. And they wanted U.S. taxpayers, via a Defense Department subsidiary, to pay for them.
DRASTIC released a grant proposal from the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) — the outfit that funneled the NIAID-NIH subsidies to the WIV — to the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Run by British zoologist Peter Daszak, EHA wanted DARPA to fund WIV’s gain-of-function experiments that would enable coronaviruses to infect human beings. EHA also wanted to use the money to monkey with the virus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, which is deadlier than SARS-CoV-2.
