Why Did the NIH Fund Wuhan Labs?

[BeatMan]

Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz has asked an obvious question, one that has not come up at the daily White House coronavirus press briefing -- why is the Wuhan Virology Lab a grantee of the National Institutes if Health, whose National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) -- headed by one Dr. Anthony Fauci -- and a recipient of $3.7 million to study coronavirus in bats? Gaetz has gone beyond mere curiosity, writing a letter to HHS Secretary Azar demanding the grant be terminated:

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., called on Health & Human Services Secretary Alex Azar Tuesday to cease funding a research grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, telling "Tucker Carlson Tonight" the action could be accomplished "with the stroke of a pen."
"I'm against funding Chinese research in our country, but I'm sure against funding it in China," Gaetz said. "The NIH [National Institutes of Health] gives a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology [and] they then advertise that they need coronavirus researchers and following that, coronavirus erupts in Wuhan."…
"What's really troubling to me is either conspicuously or miraculously the Wuhan Institute of Virology is able to sequence the virus on January 2 but China doesn't admit to the virus existing until January 9 and then the Wuhan Institute of Virology doesn't release this important scientific information to the world until January 12," Gaetz said.
"So at best, Americans are funding people who are lying to us and at worst, we're funding people who we knew had problems handling pathogens, who then birthed a monster virus onto the world," he added.

If you go to the Wuhan Institute of Virology website ad look under “Partnerships” you will see listed “the National Institutes of Health of the United States” along with the likes of the University of Alabama, the University of North Texas, Harvard University, EcoHealth Alliance, among others, and the National Wildlife Federation, presumably interested in any connection between the horseshoe bat and coronavirus.

Yet, after the virus outbreak, China would not let U.S. health authorities in to examine the labs and their safeguards, to interview staff and collect samples, both from the animals used in tests at the lab or tissue samples from earl victims. Tissue samples were destroyed, bodies hidden and cremated and false statements made about the possibility of human-to-human transmission passed on to the world through China’s sock puppet, the World (or is it Wuhan) Health Organization. To this day, serious access and scrutiny is barred.


How could the press not know about the NIH funding and be curious about it? Could the lack of notice and discussion concerning why we were funding the possible if not likely source of a global pandemic was because Dr. Fauci is somewhat of a media favorite for his ambivalence and cautiousness towards President Trump’s virus response initiartives. Fortunately, the Daily Mail has provided us some fascinating information:

The Chinese laboratory at the center of scrutiny over a potential coronavirus leak has been using U.S. government money to carry out research on bats from the caves which scientists believe are the original source of the deadly outbreak.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away in Yunnan which were funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US government.
Sequencing of the COVID-19 genome has traced it back to bats found in Yunnan caves but it was first thought to have transferred to humans at an animal market in Wuhan.
The revelation that the Wuhan Institute was experimenting on bats from the area already known to be the source of COVID-19 - and doing so with American money - has sparked further fears that the lab, and not the market, is the original outbreak source …
According to documents obtained by The Mail on Sunday, scientists there experimented on bats as part of a project funded by the US National Institutes of Health, which continues to licence the Wuhan laboratory to receive American money for experiments….
As part of the NIH research at the institute, scientists grew a coronavirus in a lab and injected it into three-day-old piglets.

2020 predictions that will or have already come true, from a month and a half ago:

1. May will be very different and much worse.

Now the darkness is eerily quiet. That’s us safely at home, waiting for whatever comes next. Some of us are even bored, and hoping for something exciting to happen that we can tweet about, or post on Instagram.
Whatever measures taken to stem the tide will be tossed out in a fit of boredom that the lower classes will survive because, lets face it.. plenty of them are felons and they are used to sitting around for months and years waiting for their release date.



2. The empty store shelves are here to stay for the foreseeable future.

Global commerce, and the just-in-time inventory that stores rely on, depend on smooth supply lines. The pandemic is causing unprecedented disruption to the supply lines.

While entire cities are on lockdown and countries seek refuge in nationalism and closed borders, those lockdowns and closed borders will prevent products from reaching consumers in time.

What makes the situation even worse is that there will be a shortage of workers as more and more people get sick and die.



3. The times of plenty are over, at least until the end of the year, if not longer.

We’re used to being able to buy whatever we want (or can afford.) We can no longer take that for granted. From now on, we’ll have to get used to buying whatever happens to be available in the store at the moment.

You may be in the mood for peas and carrots, but there may not be any, so you’ll have to eat whatever happens to be on the shelf at the moment. Maybe green beans, or bread.



4. There will be a great depression that’s even worse than the Great Depression.

Some experts predict unemployment could reach 32% in the US, which is significantly higher than the 24.9% during the Great Depression.



5. Essentials like food will get more expensive. Non-essentials like laptops will get cheaper.

Countries in severe crisis tend to see high inflation. Rare items, like food during a food shortage, will get more expensive. We can already see this happening with toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and face masks.

During the hyperinflation in Germany, a loaf of bread went from costing tens of thousands, to millions, to billions. We often use $20 bills. Back then Germany had bills with numbers as high as 500 million and even 50 billion printed on it. Money was so worthless, you could wipe your ass with it. People carried their money around in wheelbarrows.

I don’t think we’ll see insane hyperinflation like that. But food will get noticeably more expensive.

People won’t have enough money to spend frivolously, so manufacturers of non-essentials will have sales and reduce the prices of their products, like during the deflation in Japan.



6. The pandemic will officially turn America into a third world country.

We like to think of America as a rich country. But that wealth is not evenly distributed like in Europe.

Many Europeans already considered America an underdeveloped country even before the pandemic.

Infant mortality is another sign of a poor country with inadequate healthcare.

America has one of the highest infant mortality rates among rich countries. A child born in the U.S. is 76 percent more likely to die before their first birthday than infants born in other wealthy countries, and children who survive infancy have a 57 percent greater risk of death before reaching adulthood.


7. More and more people will demand UBI and Medicare for All.

That stimulus check is only the beginning. Governments all over the world will quickly need to start figuring out by the end of May how to feed millions of unemployed people, and take care of their health.

All other civilized countries already have universal healthcare, and some have already begun sending their citizens monthly checks.

It’s either that, or widespread famine, civil unrest, and riots, like during the French revolution.

8. Some countries will fail before the end of the year.

Some fragile states won’t make it through the pandemic. They will descend into chaos and violence.



9. We’ll see an increase in shootings and riots in the US.

Allowing every halfwit to own assault rifles was a bad idea even in the best of times. Many Second Amendment fanatics have been waiting their entire lives to use their collection of guns against a “tyrannical government.”

Imagine one of those guys, drunk and armed, encountering the National Guard, who tell him to get back in his trailer. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Before the end of the year, we will see Bundy-style standoffs or even shoot-outs between gun nuts and the military who try to enforce a lockdown or prevent looting.



11. As anger and unrest grows, Trump will try to redirect blame on minorities and other countries.

It’s already starting to happen right now.

A disease can start anywhere. There are plenty of Americans with rare or unique diseases. Some of these diseases are so rare, they don’t even have names.

And we don’t call them “American disease.” Because why would you blame the people of an entire country for a disease?

I’m pretty sure it’s true that China covered up the true number of dead over there. Some estimates say Wuhan had over 40,000 casualties.

That sounds far more realistic to me than the official number, after I saw a whole bunch of shocking hidden camera footage from China on Weibo and from Chinese Twitter accounts. People over there risked their lives to smuggle the footage out of the country and warn the world.

Someone spliced some of the footage together and created a collection that is pretty terrifying to watch. It looks like a trailer for a new horror movie. I recognize many of those scenes from the footage I saw earlier, posted by Chinese people trying to warn us about the true magnitude of what occured in Wuhan.

Maybe it really did accidentally escape a Chinese bio-weapons lab. We may never know the truth.

It’s unfortunate that this coronavirus started in China. But it could have just as easily started in Africa or Alabama.

The Spanish Flu of 1918 that killed 50 million people actually started in Haskell county, Kansas as far as we know.

Should we have called it the Kansas flu? And risk violence against the people of Kansas?

Trump’s insistence on calling Covid-19 the “China flu” will cause an increase in violence against Chinese Americans. And that is by design. He is purposely deflecting people’s anger at him for ignoring the pandemic for 2 months, and directs it at a minority.

During the Great Depression, Hitler manipulated Germans by making them believe that Jews were to blame for everything that was wrong in Germany. We all know how that turned out.

Germans attacked and persecuted Jews for “destroying the German economy” and being “traitors.”

The same will happen in the US if Trump keeps shoring up hatred against Chinese people and blames them for the great depression that’s about to come.


(Something like that.)
Going to war with China seems the logical next step for that illogical man.

Very good post Beat.
Fauci is a very wealthy man. And he has fear to thank for it.
He's also the head of THE INSTITUTE OF ALLERGYS AND INFECTIUOS DISEASES.

In october last year. Wow what a coincidence having a multi million dollar pandemic drill just a few months before a real one happens for the first time in over a hundred years.
But I'm sure I'm just being paranoid, nothing suspicious here. They are just good people looking out for whats best for us.
