U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), about his agency’s support for Chinese Communist Party research during today’s Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee hearing. When Senator Marshall asked Dr. Fauci if he would stop using U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund projects in China – such as EcoHealth Alliance’s activities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology – Dr. Fauci admitted his agency does not have any plans to do so.
While you may click HERE or on the image below to watch Senator Marshall’s full exchange with Dr. Fauci, Senator Marshall prefaced his questioning by saying, in part,
“The NIH is still funding research in China, at least $8 million since 2020. In the Intelligence Community’s 2022 Annual Threat Assessment, the Chinese Communist Party is presented as one of the top threats to the United States, along with Russia, Iran, Syria, and North Korea. To my knowledge, only China is receiving U.S. research dollars. The CCP controls their scientists and controls the release of research results they work on. However, NIH grants’ policies require grantees to maintain supporting research records, which they cannot do when those records are under the control of the Chinese Communist Party.”
