https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uplo...25_Redacted.pdfAround May 2019 the research project with grant 5R01AI110964-05 at the Wuhan Institute of Virology manufactured a SARS virus with 1 log higher virulence (10 fold) in humans than the parental backbone strain found in the batcave. In July 2019 Peter Daszak logged into the NIH system to log the report but did not submit it.
The gain of function SARS project based on bat coronavirus was one of the least dangerous projects Ecohealth Alliance was sponsoring at the WIV lab.... including similar projects for MERS, Nipah and other SARS-like Chimera projects. NIH grants for s 5U01AI151797-04, 5U01AI153420-04, and 5R01AI163118-02 which focused on gain of function for highly infectious, highly transmissible novel zoonotic diseases were only cut off in 2024 when the NIH were forced to refer the investigation to the Deputy Inspector general.
The report shows how NIH investigated themselves for fours years to stall out the findings, whilst Peter Daszak and Fauci pushed the wet market story.
Ecohealth Alliance and Peter Daszak just got a slap on the wrist being banned from funding for five years for:
-Failing to provide the WIV database or lab notebook for the 2019 period. WIV and NIH say their copies are gone.
-Failing to submit the report that would have raised alarm bells in 2019.
They did not make a ruling that Daszak and Ecohealth had to pay any criminal, civil or administrative fines. In part he got a slap on the wrist to prevent liability to the NIH and Dr Fauci.
