Proposed bill to defund Wuhan Institute of Virology

Sharyl Attkisson

Republican members of Congress have introduced “The Defund the Wuhan Institute of Virology Act.”

It would permanently cut U.S. funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. A growing number of scientists have said they believe Covid-19 leaked from the lab.

Despite confusion, misleading statements from some public health officials and politicians, and much misreporting, U.S. taxpayer funds have gone both directly and indirectly to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and/or its scientists in recent years.

Read and watch my exclusive investigation on Covid-19 origins and US taxpayer funds for research with China.

As we first exposed last April, the Wuhan lab received over $600,000 in taxpayer funds via the NIH for dangerous coronavirus experiments that many experts believe caused the pandemic.  We also confirmed as recently as yesterday that the lab is still eligible to receive even more taxpayer funds from the NIH.  WIV also received funding from DOD and USAID in the past. In February of this year, WCW and the Organic Consumers Association called on the White House to defund WIV.
