The Biden administration, under acute pressure from House lawmakers, moved on Wednesday to ban funding for a prominent virus-hunting nonprofit group whose work with Chinese scientists had put it at the heart of theories that Covid leaked from a lab. Republicans went further, demanding that Peter Daszak, the president of the nonprofit, EcoHealth Alliance, be criminally investigated. For EcoHealth, which relied on federal funding to study the threat of wild animal viruses, the loss of funding is another twist in a saga that has long dominated discussions of how the pandemic began. In April 2020, under orders from the Trump administration, the National Institutes of Health terminated a grant to EcoHealth amid President Donald J. Trump’s feud with China over the origin of the coronavirus. had failed to give a proper cause for ending the grant, which supplied an average of roughly $625,000 per year.

House Republicans have asked former White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony to testify before Congress as they launch a new investigation into the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. "If there are oversight hearings I absolutely will cooperate fully and testify before the Congress," Fauci told reporters during his final briefing at the White House. He stepped down from his posts at the White House and at the helm of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in December. EcoHealth Alliance provided funding, which originated at NIH, to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study coronaviruses. About $600,000 of that money went directly to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study the threat posed by bat coronaviruses.
Бывший президент США Дональд Трамп раскритиковал директора Национального института аллергических и инфекционных заболеваний Энтони Фаучи за его советы в начале пандемии. Это было сделано после того, как главный инфекционист опубликовал в открытом доступе рабочую переписку 2020 года, передает ТАСС. Сообщения содержат сведения о том, что Фаучи в начале пандемии выступал против ношения медицинских масок гражданами, а затем резко изменил свою позицию. Он добавил, что главный инфекционист давал ему неверные советы, которым тогда еще президент США не стал следовать. Трамп заключил, что главный инфекционист США должен ответить на множество вопросов, в частности о том, что именно он знал об исследованиях, которые производились в уханьской лаборатории.
