Judicial Watch: Records Show Funding for EcoHealth/Wuhan Institute Research to Create Coronavirus Mutants | Judicial Watch
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today it received 552 pages of records from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) which include the initial grant application and annual reports to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from EcoHealth Alliance, describing the aim of its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China to create mutant viruses to better predict the capacity of our CoVs [coronaviruses] to infect people.
Eco Health planned to sequence the spike protein from coronaviruses obtained from bats for the purpose of creating mutants to identify how significantly each would need to evolve to use ACE2, which is explained as the receptor to gain entry to human cells.
Well, whatever else EcoHealth Alliance proved, I’d say they proved that they really could create infectious-to-human bat viruses, beyond a shadow of a doubt. So there’s that.
