Opinion | Dr. Fauci and the art of the COVID cover-up WashTimesOpEd
In 2014, the Obama White House made what Science magazine called a “startling” announcement: It would halt all funding of so-called gain-of-function research — research that alters pathogens in laboratories to make them more deadly and transmissible — so experts could weigh the risks associated with the contentious practice. The decision came after several accidents at U.S. biocontainment labs.
Scientists at the Wuhan Institute, as part of their research, were known to have mixed components of different coronaviruses, creating strains that don’t exist in nature and gauging how they might cross over to humans. In 2018, U.S. State Department officials cabled warnings back home about the serious management and safety concerns at the Wuhan lab while studying bat coronaviruses. Two years before that, the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity had urged the U.S.
The scientists working under EcoHealth’s 2014 grant “twice submitted summaries of their work that showed that, when in the lungs of genetically engineered mice, three altered bat coronaviruses at times reproduced far more quickly than the original virus on which they were based,” The Intercept reported in 2021. “The altered viruses were also somewhat more pathogenic, with one causing the mice to lose significant weight.
