Dr. Fauci Likely Broke US Law When He Funded Wuhan Lab to Continue Coronavirus Projects That Were Banned in US in 2014
By Joe Hoft, Gateway Pundit, May 5, 2020:
A month ago we reported that Chinese Doctor Shi Zhengli was part of a team working on a coronavirus project jointly with US doctors in 2014 before it was shut down by the DHS for being too risky.
After the US research project was shut down, Dr. Shi continued her coronavirus research in Wuhan, China.
Story continues below advertisementDoctor Shi Zhengli from China was part of a team, including Doctor Ralph S. Baric from North Carolina, that published an article in a 2015 edition of Nature Medicine.
In the article they discussed bat coronaviruses that showed potential for human emergence. The article was published in 2015.
This report was published shortly after their project was defunded by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The HHS in 2014 sent a letter to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where they announced they were going to defund the program.
Dr. Ralph S. Baric was identified in the letter.
After the work stopped in the US, the Chinese moved forward with the project and ran research and development in Wuhan at the Wuhan Virology Center. From Shi Zhengli’s papers and resume, it is clear that they successfully isolated the coronavirus in the lab and were actively experimenting with species to species transmission.
This information provides a basis that contradicts the theory that COVID-19 is a variant that just magically mutated in a bat in the wild and then jumped to a human when they ate a delicious bowl of bat soup.
We then reported that the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China was hiring individuals for an ecological study of bat migration and virus transmission in November of 2019.
We now know from Dr. Shi’s resume and papers that she was still working on the coronavirus at that time.

Now we can report that the leader of the US task force overseeing the country’s response to the China coronavirus, Dr. Tony Fauci, was the one who funded the Wuhan bat virus work and kept it going.
If these research projects were banned in the US was it legal and appropriate for Dr. Fauci and NIAID to use taxpayer dollars to continue to fund the research in Wuhan, China?
Was Dr. Fauci ever going to explain his conflict of interest?

Dr Fauci Funded Wuhan Virus Experiments – Former NY Mayor, Rudy Giuliani
By GreatGameIndia -April 27, 2020| Last modified on April 30th, 2020 at 10:40 am
Anthony Stephen Fauci is an American physician and immunologist who has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984. Since January 2020, he has been one of the lead members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force addressing the coronavirus pandemic in the United States.
…
In an interview with the CATS Roundtable Radio Show, Rudy Giuliani, the former Mayor of New York City claimed:
Former Mayor of New York City in an interview claimed that Dr Fauci funded Wuhan virus experiments which were prohibited by the US government for being dangerous. He claimed Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory where suspicious experiments were conducted and demanded for an investigation to be opened into the matter.
UPDATE: The mayor’s claim was based on information that American tax-dollars were used to fund controversial gain-of-function research, which is the ability of a virus to jump from animals to humans. The project backed-up by Dr. Anthony Fauci diverted US funds to engineer Coronavirus at Wuhan lab via a company now under federal investigation.
Dr Fauci Funded Wuhan Virus Experiments – Former NY Mayor
…
“Back in 2014, the Obama administration prohibited the U.S. from giving money to any laboratory, including in the U.S., that was fooling around with these viruses. Prohibited! Despite that, Dr. Fauci gave $3.7 million to the Wuhan laboratory — even after the State Department issued reports about how unsafe that laboratory was, and how suspicious they were in the way they were developing a virus that could be transmitted to humans,”
“We never pulled that money. Something here is going on, John. I don’t want to make any accusations. But there was more knowledge about what was going on in China with our scientific people than they disclosed to us when this first came out. Just think of it: If this laboratory turns out to be the place where the virus came from, then we paid for it. We paid for the damn virus that’s killing us.”
“Today, if I were U.S. attorney, I’d open an investigation into the Wuhan laboratory. And I’d want to know what did we know? How much did we know about how bad the practices were there? Who knew about it? And who sent them money anyway? And that person would sure as heck be in front of a grand jury trying to explain to me — what are you asleep?”

Oh yes, they did. US researchers worked in the Wuhan labs on coronaviruses that came from bat poop in a Chinese cave. The US research grant info clearly says this. The US State Dept cancelled the funding, and Fauci revived the finding against the State Dept. The main focus of the research was finding bat poop viruses that could infect humans directly without any intermediate animal hosts.
The key fact is that US and Wuhan researchers found bat viruses that can infect humans directly. That is a huge finding, because Covid-19 is not rare, it has many possible cousin viruses, and now we know they are hugely infectious because they can readily pass directly to humans:
“Then in 2016, Ralph Baric and colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill showed that the same bat virus could infect live mice that had been engineered to express the human gene for the ACE2 receptor. The virus was “poised for human emergence,” as the title of Dr. Baric’s paper put it.” – Wall St. Journal

Felix, I think you already answered that question in your posted comment. Rudy Giuliani would not start investigating Fauci unless Trump asked him to.
Giuliani was a highly effective prosecutor before he was NY mayor, and he knows what he is doing. When Rudy says someone is dirty, they are dirty. And every indication points to Fauci’s knowing involvement in helping to develop a weaponized virus that could be used to cause pandemics. After Trump took over, Fauci even publicly bragged that a big epidemic was coming.
It now appears that China, Fauci, the Pentagon, and some key Dems collaborated to isolate, test, and maybe modify the virus for human attack. There is clear evidence that the Wuhan lab did ‘gain of function’ [potency enhancement] tests on those bat-poop coronaviruses, probably including Covid-19.

Fauci needs to be charged with bio-terrosim. That’s how bad it is. He knew he was funding the weaponization of coronaviruses in that Wuhan lab. Waterboard him for info, send him to Gitmo, or just execute him for murder.

He’s looking worse every day. I try not to convict until I’m sure, but it’s not looking good for him.
The “weaponization” would involve jumping the virus through animal hosts and studying what happens to it. That way it look like a naturally occurring jump from a bat to another animal to humans. No one releases a virus without knowing what it would do, so someone tested this on humans. They probably had lots of “volunteers” in those “culture” camps for Mohammedans. That information was shared or sold.

Hey sp, yes, they found a bunch of coronaviruses in a bat poop cave. They isolated one at the Wuhan lab that could transfer directly to humans, because it had the right enzymes. Mice have similar patterns to human infection patterns, so they tried it on mice, and it infected the mice efficiently, through the human-type enzyme pathway:
“Then in 2016, Ralph Baric and colleagues at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill showed that the same bat virus could infect live mice that had been engineered to express the human gene for the ACE2 receptor. The virus was “poised for human emergence,” as the title of Dr. Baric’s paper put it.” – Wall St. Journal
And yes, then the Chinese did test the virus on humans: namely, us! It was released from the Wuhan lab, and it’s now called Covid-19.

The thing is, China gains nothing good from this. Without testing it on humans before it was released in China they wouldn’t know for sure what would happen to China. If you’re looking at bio weapons you test it on prisoners or other disposable people. This killed a lot of their own people (not good when you have 1.4 billion who might get angry) and ruined their economy in the short term (not good when you have 1.4 billion who might be angry and hungry) and ruined their economy in the long term because it spotlights the insanity of letting China manufacture everything (loss of future manufacturing due to other nations pulling out of China isn’t going to help keep 1.4 billion people happy).
Democrats, linked to the cooperative research and the funding, have everything to lose if they don’t win the next election and the world to gain if they do. They were planning to go to war with China anyhow, and this virus was part of that set up. it was repurposed to help win the (2016) 2020 election. What would happen with Hillary in the WH, a serious conflict with NK (that was ready to go), and suddenly this virus pops up in the USA? The set up is pretty nasty.

sp: “China gains nothing good from this.”
Well China already gained some measure of “Plausible Deniability” and that is key to a successful attack on the USA.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible_deniability
The cover story about wet market origins almost worked and it would have concealed the bio-weapon origins of the virus. But their cover story already fell apart, and now they are vulnerable. With their cover story, China could have avoided direct warfare with USA, it could just be chalked up to ‘bad luck’. Now, not so much.

China gains more than the rest of the world from this, well positioned now to the be world #1 superpower. China knew full well that this virus was not even as bad a the flu. The most vital information they withheld was the extremely high asymptomatic and recovery rates. Through misinformation they caused global panic while allowing 5 million people to travel internationally to spread virus, which to the world at large was hyped up to be as virulent as SARS only more infectious. Even early data from front line medical professionals clearly showed a very low mortality rate and over 99% recovery rate – but no one listened to them. Certainly not Fauci.
Every nation on earth is over recording infection and death data. No virus or disease in history gas been treated this fraudulently.

Well Fauci’s previous baby, H1N1 swine flu 2009, came pretty close in the fraudulence sweepstakes. Everyone freaked out, but flu deaths that year declined in the US. The scam worked though, everyone looked to Obama’s big government to save their skins:

Thanks for the article. Maybe the reason these current numbers are being – criminally – over inflated to create more panic, is because the N1H1 did not work out as they had hoped. Also worth noting that there is never any guarantee of the successful development and approval of a vaccine – for anything really. But now there is much talk of some form of govt mandated social control until a vaccine is produced – and for a virus that is at worst, no more virulent than a yearly flu.

“hi gaz, for some reason I’m more pedantic than usual today, so please forgive my style.
– “Current numbers are being – criminally – over inflated” Actually epidemics are always very political, and lying about numbers is common. E.g.,In the the US old west, towns would get hit with cholera, dozens or hundreds would die, the town would empty out from fear, and the local newspapers would not even mention it. The townsmen were worried that news of a cholera epidemic would be bad for business. And ALL the countries hit by the Spanish flu 1918 lied about their numbers because they were in WWI, and nobody would admit military weakness. Most epidemics are like this, where politics drive the numbers, not the science.
– “The N1H1 did not work out as they had hoped.” I agree, H1N1 2009 looks like an Obama, Fauci, WHO, Democrat dry run that failed because not enough people died. So now they tried again, to grab more power, and this time to get rid of Trump.

We were doing the research on this virus here in the USA. No wonder a Democrat had access to the virus that came out of China, and no wonder they knew what the virus would do. We suddenly say it is unsafe and the research moves to China, with help from US tax dollars. If the Democrats wanted to set someone up with their own virus, this is how it would be done. Hillary was supposed to be the president. This would all look very different from that angle, and called a bio attack by China. The bio attack was repurposed and launched from Chinese soil by Democrats.

Interesting point. I haven’t taken a vaccine since the early 80s and I probably won’t start now. If a plague kills me it will put me out of my misery.
IMO, anyone using the currency of the central bankers already has the mark. It is a cut. It is a cut (share) of the income from your labor (right hand) or intellect (forehead) that the satanic central banks get if you use their currency at all. How can you live in this world without using their currency? They’ve been running the world for some time now. But, I am not a Bible expert by any stretch of the imagination.

The mad scientists break something in nature in order to see if they can fix it, that’s the rationalization at least. They create the monster pathogen but don’t get around to the cure.They call it “Gof” or gain of function, meaning making something deadly even more deadly. Probably sociopaths who as children pulled the wings off flies and then went into medical science but confined to laboratories. Science fiction horror story in real life.
Even the Obama administration recognized how insane this line of research is and banned it, but Fauci decided to fund the scientist who moved back to China to continue this work. And now he acts all innocent and totally dedicated to the public good, the world authority. He should be jailed.
Trump is caught in a hard place because if he blows the whistle on Fauci we’re all going to be angry at Trump for relying on Fauci and the Corona Task Force. The easiest thing now is to disband the task force and move on but the dumb media is attacking Trump as if our lives depend on the virus task force and Fauci is covering his own ass by claiming there is no way the virus came out of the lab. BS to the nth.

That explains why Dr. Fauci is the fore-most expert on this virus. If HHS said it was too dangerous to be continued, why would he continue it in China, of all places. DemRules is correct, he should be charged with bio-terrorism. It will never happen due to his popularity with the LSM.
