Unearthed Email Confirms Fauci Knew NIH Funded Wuhan’s Controversial Research in Early 2020
Clear Facts:
- An exposed email shows Dr. Anthony Fauci was aware in early 2020 that the NIH funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute in China.
- Fauci’s chief of staff confirmed that their research involved extensive sampling of bats and mammals, discovering 52 novel coronaviruses in the South China Sea.
- Despite Fauci’s denials, ex-intelligence director John Ratcliffe expressed that intelligence and science majorly support the lab leak theory for the origin of Covid-19.
Despite previous denials, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the ex-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was well-aware in early 2020 that his institution was financially backing gain-of-function studies concerning novel coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
An email, disclosed by the investigative public health non-profit U.S. Right to Know, unveiled that Dr. Fauci had precise knowledge of the Chinese coronavirus studies even before the pandemic’s onset in the United States.
On January 27, 2020, Dr. Fauci received an email from an assistant containing talking points about the Wuhan Institute’s research, funded by the National Institutes of Health’s disease division. Later that same day, Fauci addressed Covid-19 in a press conference.
This controversial gain-of-function research was financially supported by NIAID through the non-profit EcoHealth Alliance. The latter had ties with the Wuhan lab for “the past 5 years,” the email confirmed. Dr. Fauci’s chief of staff, Greg Folkers, informed him and other public health officers about the EcoHealth group’s significant contributions to coronavirus research.
Detailing the research, Folkers mentioned that Fauci’s agency had funded the sampling of approximately 10,000 bats and around 2,000 other mammals from 47 locations across the South China Sea. This was an optimal site for finding SARS-CoV-2’s nearest kin.
The researchers reportedly identified 52 novel sarbecoviruses, a category of coronaviruses to which SARS-CoV-2 belongs, during their expedition in the South China Sea.
Although Folkers did not specifically label it as gain-of-function research, he indicated that these new coronaviruses could induce SARS-like symptoms in humanized mice.
During several confrontations with Senator Rand Paul (R., Ky.), Fauci sidestepped direct answers about gain-of-function research, suggesting Paul misunderstood the NIH’s funding. However, by October 2021, a senior NIH official acknowledged the funding of this contentious research, contradicting Fauci’s claims.
Senator Paul further took Fauci to task in November 2021, alleging that the NIH had altered the definition of gain-of-function on its website. Fauci rebutted, designating the term as “nebulous” and dismissing theories suggesting the origin of Covid-19 was a lab leak.
Dr. Fauci’s controversial stand on the subject led to continuous criticism from Senator Paul, culminating in Fauci’s resignation in December 2022.
Not long after, former director of national intelligence, John Ratcliffe, conveyed to Congress that Fauci’s testimony was not in alignment with both classified intelligence and publicly accessible information.
Ratcliffe firmly believed that the most plausible explanation supported by intelligence, scientific evidence, and common sense was that of a lab leak.
“My informed assessment as a person with as much access as anyone during the initial year of the pandemic has been and continues to be that a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science, and by common sense,” he said.

Why is Fauci not in jail?

Will Fauci be held accountable for his actions or is it sufficient that he resigned? Lives were lost, folks around the world mandated to take vaccines that did not comply with safe for humans policies of the U.S. Pharmaceutical companies have not, to my knowledge, been held accountable even when investigations reveal the truth. Somewhere, somehow all people in authority must be held accountable for decisions made for the masses. Citizens must not be the guinea pigs.

AGREE! Their licenses should be revoked ASAP. Beyond that, I’ll leave it to the courts-which I doubt will be very lenient, IF the jurors have been negatively affected by Covid! In the LONGGGggg haul, IL agree-GOD will be the final judge! “Vengeance is MINE, sayeth the Lord”!

Why is anyone surprised? The US Military and DOD has been actively involved in “germ warfare” since after WWI.
It was technically illegal here so Fauci did it in Wuhan and Ukraine.
It is astonishing the Media never really picked this up. They were probably warned by DOD not to openly discuss it.
COVID was just a pathogen that got loose.

The French developed a very effective means for dealing with a corrupt ruling class. We should take pointers from them.

It is my undeerstanding that he and some universitfrom his federaledy moved the virus from the US to China as well as provided funding from his federally funded program.This was just after the US took a look at its self and said why are we doing this and shut all such programs sown

Ummmm, didn’t President Trump be the first to state the virus came out of Wuhan, China and was lambasted by the Lamestream Media that he was a Xenophobe???? How short is the memory of the American Public.

Arrest Birx, Fauci and all CDC, NIH, WHO, FDA and big pharma and big tech. executives involved.
Fraud and homicide are not included in the total immunity from legal liability agreement under the PREP Act for the big Pharma criminals!
RICO laws apply now! The DOJ better wake the Fk Up and get busy!
