A new WCW investigation reveals that a literally sickening loophole STILL lets NIH ship your money to the Wuhan Animal Lab. Using the Freedom of Information Act, we’ve got ahold of the receipts????????


Last April, WCW investigators first exposed NIH tax funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Then, within days, we stopped EcoHealth Alliance from funneling your money to Wuhan for cruel, wasteful, and dangerous experiments by cutting its NIH grant.

Experts believe the COVID-19 virus may have leaked from this very lab. The NIH has refused to release documents to WCW about its relationship with Wuhan Animal Lab.

And yet, the Wuhan Animal Lab is still eligible to get tax dollars for animal testing until 2024!

This screenshot of the NIH website was taken the morning of May 12, 2021.


In fact, the NIH has authorized not just the Wuhan Animal Lab for payouts but an additional *26 MORE labs in China* to spend your tax money!

As WCW President and Founder Anthony Bellotti told the Daily Caller

We’re urging Congress and the White House to defund EcoHealth now… and secure independent investigations into whether their treacherous gain-of-function animal experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology led to the COVID outbreak.”

Experts now believe the COVID-19 virus may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is STILL eligible to receive your tax dollars from the NIH for dangerous animal experiments.


Right now, there’s zero restrictions in place to stop the NIH, or other federal bureaucrats and nonprofits, from exporting more money to the Wuhan Animal Lab.

The NIH has authorized all these labs in China to receive your tax money. You can find the whole list of authorized foreign labs on the NIH website.

 


A national poll of 1,000 taxpayers conducted this week by Lincoln Park Strategies found that 60 percent of votersincluding 54 percent of Republicans, 59 percent of Independents, and 68 percent of Democrats— want to block Wuhan Animal Lab funding while its role in the COVID-19 pandemic is investigated.

We need to close the Wuhan loophole. NOW.

Please help by signing our petition, telling the government to STOP shipping your tax dollars to the Wuhan Animal Lab and other foreign labs for wasteful, cruel, and dangerous animal experiments!
