In a rare bipartisan effort, U.S. lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties are scrutinizing Peter Daszak and his nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance, which funneled U.S. federal funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for coronavirus research. Allegations against Daszak include misleading the U.S. government about his connections with the Wuhan lab and displaying disregard for the risks associated with gain-of-function research. This has led to calls from the House Select Subcommittee for Daszak to be barred from receiving federal funding, citing that EcoHealth’s actions are a threat to national security and Daszak is not a faithful steward of US taxpayer dollars. Additionally, there are calls for a reevaluation of funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) in light of the COVID-19 origins probe. During the pandemic, the U.S. shared significant evidence with Britain indicating a high likelihood that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan lab.
All the information we need to know is in the public domain. China was conducting risky research in subpar biosafety facilities. They acquired biological agents and methods from US actors who later conspired to cover up the probable lab origin (Daszak, Baric, et al).… https://t.co/PfRlpVl6eu
"The virus research group EcoHealth Alliance was engaged in dangerous experimental virus work in China that was funded by the federal government..." Looks like Fauci - who said the opposite - lied again. Americans deserve to know why their $ funded this.https://t.co/Z8DfqoBdzo

We “conspiracy theorists” suggested on Planet Normal podcast in June 2020 that Covid19 was an “engineered escapee” from the Wuhan lab. I remember being called “racist”. Now: US shared 'gobsmacking' lab leak evidence with UK at height of Covid-19 https://t.co/84t3XAblqX

In a congressional COVID origins investigation that mostly sees Republicans and Democrats divided, both parties had ample criticism for the chief of a US-funded nonprofit that funneled money for coronavirus research to a lab in Wuhan, China. ⬇️ https://t.co/Z3wRhtNIig
It's important Daszak faces the music. As a minimum he has deliberately misled not just the scientific community but the governments of the entire world. And at worst, he has conspired with the Chinese and others to cover up the fact that Covid 19 virus leaked from the Wuhan… https://t.co/D94nxwtufO

Democrats are finally on board criticising Peter Daszak for his lies. It's not been a good week for the NIH and supporters of dangerous virus research https://t.co/4JuHrMOI9r https://t.co/Ws2q0fTCFL
In 2020, in the early days of the Covid lab leak hypothesis, I called Peter Daszak “patient zero for misinformation.” It has taken 4 years for Daszak’s full duplicity to emerge into daylight. Only after reading @RobertKennedyJr’s The Wuhan Cover-Up, do I finally understand ‘why’. https://t.co/CmsWMssiNU
