BIDEN'S WUHAN LAB FUNDING CUT IS TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE, CRITICS SAY

By Haisten Willis, White House Reporter  July 21, 2023 06:00 AM--Frequent critics of the Biden administration on COVID-19 applauded a surprise move this week, but say it should have gone much further.

President Joe Biden has cut off U.S. government funding for China's Wuhan Institute of Virology after a review found the facility non-compliant with federal regulations.

For many observers, especially those favoring the lab leak COVID origin theory, it was long overdue.

“This is a step forward toward acknowledging that COVID-19 likely originated from U.S.-funded gain-of-function research at WIV and toward taking steps toward preventing a future lab-generated pandemic," said Rutgers University professor Richard Ebright.

But Ebright, a chemical biology professor, also complained the move was insufficient to fully address the problem.

For one, EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based organization that conducted coronavirus research at the lab, is still receiving federal dollars and has not been disbarred. Ebright also says former National Institutes of Health director Francis Collins and former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases leader Anthony Fauci were not held accountable for their role.  MORE AT Biden's Wuhan lab funding cut is too little, too late, critics say | Washington Examiner
