Coronavirus research deemed too dangerous by DARPA, approved by Fauci
opindia.comThis is rehashing an unconfirmed assertion from project Veritas.... I'm waiting to see if it is true or not.
Are you of the belief that Dr. Fauci has some sort of absolute control over funding decisions? If so, please show your source.
You're right - I'm using "Fauci" as a synecdoche for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NAID). Dr. Fauci was the director of NAID at the time of the approved 3.7M funding for EcoHealth Alliance's "UNDERSTANDING THE RISK OF BAT CORONAVIRUS EMERGENCE" project.
The fact that this project was funded by the NAID is public knowledge. Here's the source: https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_R01AI110964_7529
Now, whether or not this project was previously rejected by the DoD over GoF concerns...well that's what the attached article explores.
