White House advisor Anthony Fauci’s e-mail cache should lead to a congressional probe to determine why U.S. taxpayers might have paid the Wuhan Institute of Virology to create SARS-Cov-2, also known as the China Virus.
One e-mail is from Peter Daszak, head of the EcoHealth Alliance, the conduit for some of those subsidies from Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Daszak thanked Fauci for helping tamp down reports from Fox News about the subsidies and lab-leak hypothesis.
Another e-mail came from researcher Kristian Andersen, who told Fauci early last year the virus might have been engineered. He later wrote that the virus did not escape a lab.
Since the outbreak began, Daszak and others, with the help of the leftist media, have pushed the claim that the virus sprung from Wuhan’s filthy wet markets, where exotic animals, including bats, are sold for human consumption. But in the past few weeks, evidence has been emerging that the Wuhan Institute’s mad scientists created the virulent germ.
Daszak to Fauci
The trouble for Daszak began when Fox News’s Bret Baier, citing U.S. intelligence sources, reported that the virus escaped a lab at the institute. Two days earlier, the Washington Post published an alarming op-ed that said U.S. science diplomats were greatly concerned that the institute’s poorly trained technicians were fiddling with coronaviruses and might start a pandemic. As well, a reporter asked Trump about a $3.7 million subsidy to the lab.

A strong proponent of manipulating viruses, Daszak must have panicked.
In an e-mail dated April 18, Daszak wrote that he “wanted to say a personal thank you on behalf of our staff and collaborators, for publicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID-19 from a bat-to-human spillover, not a lab release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”
Continued Daszak:
[wpmfpdf id=”129248″ embed=”1″ target=””]From my perspective, your comments are brave, and coming from your trusted voice, will help dispel the myths being spun around the virus’ origins. Once this pandemic’s over I look forward thanking you in person and let you know how important your comments are to us all.
Amazingly, though Daszak’s outfit channeled U.S. subsidies to the lab, he was also on the World Health Organization and Lancet teams that exonerated the lab of wrongdoing. And five years ago, Daszak himself warned that labs could be a key “spillover” site.
The bad news for Daszak: In the past few weeks, multiple reports have nearly proven that the virus escaped from the lab:
- In the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Nicholas Wade detailed the work at the lab;
- The Wall Street Journal reported that three lab workers landed in hospital in November 2019;
- The Daily Caller disclosed that the wife of a lab worker died with COVID-like symptoms in December 2019; and
- The Daily Mail divulged the findings of two scientists who say the virus leaked from the Wuhan virus lab.
Daszak and other American researchers are tight with Shi Zheng-li, who works at the institute and is an expert on bat coronaviruses. With help from an American scientist, Wade reported, the notorious “Bat Lady” created souped-up viruses that could attack humans.
Andersen To Fauci
Andersen’s e-mail might also incriminate the institute lab. In January 2020, he wrote that the virus has “unusual features” and looks “potentially engineered.”
[wpmfpdf id=”129249″ embed=”1″ target=””]Yet as Wade reported, Andersen, a researcher at the Scripps Institute, led a group of scientists who claimed the lab did not create the virus.
“A second statement that had enormous influence in shaping public attitudes was a letter (in other words an opinion piece, not a scientific article) published on 17 March 2020 in the journal Nature Medicine,” Wade wrote:
Its authors were a group of virologists led by Kristian G. Andersen of the Scripps Research Institute. “Our analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus,” the five virologists declared in the second paragraph of their letter.
Bioweapon?
As The New American reported in early May, a 263-page document from the Red Chinese army explained that a SARS virus could be weaponized, aerosolized, then unleashed. The resulting pandemic would flatten an enemy nation’s medical system.
