What was the American taxpayer got for the $600K given the Wuhan Lab

Fauci admits he doesn't know whether Wuhan lab lied about what it used the $600K US-taxpayer research grant for in Senate showdown: Dr claims he was NOT consulted about Pompeo-led effort to prove COVID originated from lab

  • Dr. Anthony Fauci admitted that there's no way to know if Chinese scientists lied and conducted what are called 'gain of function' experiments on coronaviruses
  • 'There's no way of guaranteeing that,' Fauci said Wednesday at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, answering Republican Sen. John Kennedy 
  • He added that in the U.S. government's experience with grantees, including Chinese grantees, 'they are very competent, trustworthy scientists' 
  • Gain of function experiments would make a coronavirus more contagious or deadly 
  • The White House announced Wednesday that U.S. intelligence agencies could not determine for certain the origin of COVID-19 
  • That left the door open to speculation that COVID-19 escaped from the Wuhan Institute and U.S. tax dollars could have been used to make it more deadly 
  • Kennedy floated whether Wuhan lab scientists could have been 'influenced by the Communist Party of China' 
  • 'I don't have enough insight into the Communist Party in China to know the interactions between them and the scientists, sir,' Fauci said
