2/ But yesterday, the very same @theintercept admits it sought documents about Fauci-funded research by EcoHealth (Peter Daszak's group) that "raise additional questions about the theory that the pandemic may have begun in a lab accident."https://t.co/R4UbfZSCWa

4/ Even when they accidentally do reporting that undermines liberal political causes, Intercept editors have to make sure they stay loyal. The admit that Daszak's highly risking research was funded by NIAID, but never once mention the name "Fauci," the Director of that agency: pic.twitter.com/xRXKT6qyMO

Rand Paul says Fauci LIED to Congress by insisting US never funded gain-of-function research at Wuhan lab after newly unearthed grant proposal reveals how scientists studied bat coronavirus with American money
- Rand Paul was among those on Tuesday who accused Fauci of lying to Congress
- In May, Fauci said the US never funded any gain-of-function research in Wuhan
- Gain-of-function research is when scientists modify an organism to change its functions and abilities
- When studying viruses, it can mean making it deliberately more infectious to study how things and people would or wouldn't survive it
- Some scientists believe that is what the Wuhan scientists did with COVID-19
- In 2014, EcoHealth Alliance - a US health organization - was given a $3.3million grant by the National Institute of Health to study bat coronaviruses
- Its idea was to try to pre-empt the next SARS or MERS viruses
- EcoHealth ended up giving $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology
- That is the lab that has been widely blamed for standing the pandemic
- The theory that COVID could have leaked from a lab was initially dismissed and mocked by Democrats as Trump-backed lunacy
- Months later, the World Health Organization released a report saying it was possible
Dr. Anthony Fauci has been accused of lying to Congress by claiming the US did not fund gain-of-function research after newly unearthed documents regarding the grant proposal a study at the Wuhan lab blamed for creating COVID were made public for the first time.
The files were obtained by The Intercept as part of an FOI request to drill down the possible root of COVID and whether the US had any role in it.
They show that in 2014, the National Health Institute approved a five-year, yearly grant of $666,000 a year for five years ($3.3million) for EcoHealth Alliance, a US research organization, into bat coronavirus.
EcoHealth Alliance, in its proposal to the NIH, acknowledged the risks involved were 'the highest risk of exposure to SARS or other CoVs' among staff, who could then carry it out of the lab.
The NIH gave them the money anyway - something Fauci was previously forced to admit when testifying before Congress in May this year. EcoHealth Alliance then gave $599,000 of the money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
At the time and repeatedly since, he has denied that the research constituted what's known as 'gain-of-function' research.
Gain-of-function research is the scientific term given to research that deliberately changes an organism to make give it new functions in order to test a theory.
When applies to studying human viruses, it can mean making the virus more transmissible and or even deadly in order to test what can and can't survive it.
