US officials may have sent taxpayer money to fund risky research in a Chinese lab known to be carrying out bioweapon research.
Disgraced researcher Dr Peter Daszak suggested to a Congressional subcommittee that the intelligence community was aware of the coronavirus experiments carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology years before the pandemic - which many fear may have started the outbreak.
The government sent money to the Chinese facility despite concerns that the WIV was being by the Chinese government to manufacture bioweapons, according to Dr Daszak's testimony.
Further, the researcher said the WIV is astonishingly still in possession of 15,000 samples of other coronaviruses that may belong to the US government through past taxpayer-funded research.
Dr Daszak told the subcommittee: 'To the last of my knowledge, [samples] were in the freezers in Wuhan - over 15,000 of them.'
The revelation came Wednesday in his testimony given at the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
Dr Daszack, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, a New York-based research group which funneled US taxpayer money to the WIV, also admitted his company is still receiving a staggering $16million a year in US taxpayer cash.
When asked how aware the US intelligence agencies were of the risky coronavirus research going on at WIV, Dr Daszak hinted that this had been the case.
When asked if he knew whether the US intelligence services knew the Wuhan lab was being used to manufacture bioweapons, Dr Daszak responded: 'Two agencies I think have low-to-moderate confidence that there was some activity.
He added: 'The other agencies were unable to comment.'
The hearing comes as the subcommittee recommends Dr Daszak - who is British but lives in the US - be criminally investigated and banned from receiving any future public funding, along with his company.

Is one of the 15,000 coronaviruses
the October-timed-release COVID.DNC.2024 Election variant?

Funny thing is that we knew that in 2020, or at least anyone paying attention to the gain of function research did.
It was remarkable how fast that got scrubbed after we noticed the public documents on it.
Almost like a coverup or wiping like with a towel...
How has this guy not been executed yet?
The bio labs are terrifying....yet few talk about them. Who sets boundaries on them? And if there are boundaries, what are they? Where are they all located? Which ones do we fund? What are they doing today?
Silence on this extremely worrisome subject. Why?
Please stop blaming all of this on just the democrats. Neither party is doing anything to investigate ..... just as neither party is doing anything to stop the invasion at our border.
I worry about my grandchildren. This isn’t the kind of world our grandparents left for us.

Deliberately done by the US to implode Trump’s re-election with the help of the Chinese at the cost of many lives.
Between freezing in the winter and starving year round with the added pandemics that will be unleashed on us, we will wish we were in a billionaires underground bunker but we don't merit it.
Storage in China? So what...
And there are more like it scattered throughout the country.

I agree with what you wrote.
