let me explain to you why that was done. t t the sars-cov-2 one originated in bats in china.ne it would have been irresponsible of us if we did not investigate the bat viruses and the serology to see who might have been or perhaps it would be possible to send it to the chinese government that we may not be able to trust with this knowledge and with this incredibly dangerous virus. sean: dr. fauci needs to answer questions and they need to be under oath. thesecr. evils need to be exami. emails need to be examined. what did he know? when did he know it? why was he telling us one thing privately and sing something he needs to be fired. don t expect joe biden to fire him for any reason because the administration oh, they are not circling the wagons. fauci is doing an amazing job. take a look.

do you support the money that was going to wuhan institute? let me explain to you why that was done. the sars-cov-2 one originated in bats in china. it would have been irresponsible of us if we did not investigate the bat viruses and the serology to see who might have been or perhaps it would be possible to send it to the chinese government that we may not be able to trust with this knowledge and with this incredibly dangerous virus. sean: dr. fauci needs to answer questions and they need to be under oath. these evils need to be examined. what did he know? when did he know it? why was he telling us one thing privately and sing something he needs to be fired. don t expect joe biden to fire him for any reason because the administration oh, they are not circling the wagons. fauci is doing an amazing job. take a look.
and plausible. we expected a flurry of media interest in it. where did the virus come from? it was worth knowing as people were dying of it. nobody asked the question. instead, there was silence punctuated by anti-asian racism and conspiracy theories. that s where it stood more than a year until just a few weeks ago. suddenly for reasons we don t understand, all the smirking morons in the american news media changed their view overnight. of course, coronavirus escaped from a chinese lab. do you think it came from a wet market? an avalanche of evidence confirmed that the first corona victims were researchers working with bat viruses at the wuhan institute of virology. buzz feed obtained thousands of e-mails that tony fauci knew from the beginning that covid was manufactured in china in
laboratory. two epidemics had come from the bat viruses. but what is not yet certain is whether the national institutes of health was ignoring or trying to side step the moratorium on funding such research from 2014 to 2017. martha: just to be clear, there was a moratorium on gain of function research and that work continued or work similar to that continued using u.s. grants to do that. that s one of the big questions that remains here. thank you, nicholas. good to have you with us, sir. you re welcome. martha: so now what? calls for congress to dig in to whether u.s. taxpayers funded the wuhan lab, which we know they did, but what happened there with that money. congressman jim jordan on that and also we re going to ask him about this new hunter biden linked investigation that is cropping up next.
National Institutes of Health (NIH) to do gain-of-function research. Describing the lab experiments, Swan said: “Two or three years ago they were doing what were called gainer function tests, they were fiddling with the genetic structure of coronavirus to see what would make into a pandemic virus.”
Gain-of-function research is a risky area of study that makes viruses even more contagious.
“There’s an indication that virologists in the institute got sick in November [2019] with an illness,” Swan said. “So there are increasing signs that the institute of virology may well be the source.”
The WIV is a biosafety level 4 laboratory, which is the highest level biocontainment certification, but U.S. Embassy officials issued two diplomatic cables warning about inadequate safety at the lab after a visit in 2018. According to the
