Tucker: Gaetz calls for end to NIH grant to Wuhan virology lab, says it can be done with ‘stroke of a pen’

FOX: 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.”

The Mail on Sunday newspaper in the U.K. reported over the weekend that the Wuhan institute “undertook coronavirus experiments on mammals captured more than 1,000 miles away … funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US [sic] government.”

The paper also reported that the research results were published in November 2017, but the NIH “continues to license the laboratory to receive American money for experiments.” read more

  1. ” … funded by a $3.7 million grant from the US [sic] government. …”

    Sounds like maybe it could be a virus commissioned by the American government?

    No way to know, but another thing to build another conspiracy theory on.

    Not that conspiracy theories do anything other than distract people from solving the problem.

  2. You can be certain as the Chinese are studying these viruses they are also looking at the possibility of their weaponization and how they can be used against their perceived enemies. We’re financing our own demise under the guise of freindship and nation support. It’s bafflingly why we give financial support to countries that don’t need it. Greasing palms I think is the real answer.
