'Absolutely reckless': Biden admin renews grant to EcoHealth Alliance — the same outfit that funded dangerous experiments at epicenter of pandemic
- "characterize and analyze more than 300 new whole genomes and large genome segments of SARSr-CoVs from our archived samples to determine the processes underlying coronavirus recombination and identify viral strains with a high predicted risk of spillover";
- "analyze archived samples from community- and clinic-based syndromic surveillance of people to identify evidence of spillover, assess behavioral risk factors, and pinpoint evidence of illness"; and
- "conduct in vitro viral characterization and in silico analysis of epidemiological data to identify hotspots of further CoV spillover risk."
EHA noted that the NIH grant enabling it to resume toying with coronaviruses "reflects a reversal of the previous termination and suspension of an R01 awarded in 2019, but halted in April 2020 due to concerns about continuing collaborative laboratory research with the Wuhan Institute of Virology."
Former President Donald Trump had the grant suspended after the organization's link to gain-of-function research in Wuhan was exposed.
