HHS bans EcoHealth Alliance and group's ex-prez from receiving federal funding for 5 years after Wuhan virus experiments
2025-01-18
[NY Post] How about some time in the gray-bar Hotel, next to Fauci?
The Department of Health and Human Services on Friday barred EcoHealth Alliance and the group’s former president, Peter Daszak, from receiving federal funding for five years after they failed to report potentially dangerous gain-of-function research experiments to the government.

HHS determined that a five-year period of debarment for the Manhattan-based nonprofit and Daszak was “necessary to protect the Federal Government’s business interests,” according to a letter sent to both parties by the government agency.

The House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic had been investigating the novel bat virus research that EcoHealth Alliance and Daszak conducted out of China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology leading up to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The panel uncovered evidence last year indicating that EcoHealth Alliance and Daszak “willingly” and “repeatedly” violated multiple requirements of a multimillion-dollar National Institutes of Health grant for the controversial project.

“Justice for the American people was served today,” House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said in a statement after releasing HHS’ debarment notices.
