EcoHealth Alliance
Contents
After discussion emerged as to the safety of gain-of-function research into viruses by genetic modification of natural viruses, Peter Daszak stated that such research "move[d] this virus from a candidate emerging pathogen to a clear and present danger". In 2014, the NIH gave EcoHealth Alliance a grant of $3.4 (or $3.7?)[1][2] for the study of coronaviruses in bats, to be disbursed over 6 years.
In April 2020 the NIH ordered EcoHealth Alliance to cease spending the remaining $369,819 from its current NIH grant due to their research relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Staff
“Among the policy advisors for EcoHealth Alliance are David Franz, a former commander at Fort Detrick, the main US government biowarfare/biodefence facility, who spoke in 2018 at the rightwing Hudson Institute, and Thomas Geisbert, who is doing biodefence/biowarfare work at Galveston.”[3]

Peter Daszak | A "completely discredited, conflict-plagued", "longtime partner" of Zhengli Shi, moved US money to the WIV to weaponise bat coronaviruses but didn't mention this in the influential joint statement he secretly got published in The Lancet to promote the "lone bat" theory. Later "investigated" COVID-19's origins. |

Document:Was there a Wuhan lab leak? | blog post | 1 June 2021 | Jonathan Cook | No meaningful lessons will be learnt about what really happened in Wuhan. Maintaining the illusion of truth will continue to take precedence over uncovering the truth. And for that reason we are doomed to keep making the same screw-ups. As the next pandemic will doubtless attest. |
