National Institutes of Health (NIH) Principal Deputy Director Lawrence Tabak admitted that taxpayer funds went to gain-of-function research in China's Institute of Virology.
Former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Robert Redfield warned that gain-of-function research into the bird flu virus may cause a "great pandemic."
Representative Nick Langworthy (R-NY) sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack, condemning taxpayer-funded research that could "potentially generate dangerous new lab-created virus strains that threaten our national security and public health.”
White Coat Waste Project (WCW) recently revealed how the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has collaborated with China in conducting "bird flu gain-of-function experiments."
