For a quick factual refresher on the journey to now, once gain-of-function research on novel coronaviruses was outlawed by the federal government in 2014, NIAID director Anthony Fauci offshored the research to the infamous CCP-run lab in Wuhan through his co-conspirator Peter Daszak, chief of “nonprofit” EcoHealth Alliance.
This is well-documented and no longer derided as racist “conspiracy theory” as it was in 2020.

Last month, a conglomeration of House committees and subcommittees announced they had scheduled Daszak to appear before the People’s representatives to testify under oath in May.
Via House Energy and Commerce Committee (emphasis added):
House Energy and Commerce Committee (E&C) Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), E&C Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chair Morgan Griffith (R-VA), and E&C Subcommittee on Health Chair Brett Guthrie (R-KY), Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chair Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), and House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced that EcoHealth Alliance (EcoHealth) President Dr. Peter Daszak will appear for a public hearing on May 1, 2024.
EcoHealth—a U.S.-based non-profit whose mission is to prevent pandemics—used taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
During his closed-door transcribed interview with the Committees on November 14, 2023, Dr. Daszak made multiple statements inconsistent with documents and evidence reviewed by the Committees. This raises serious questions about the veracity of EcoHealth’s public statements, including its insistence that the research it funded at the WIV could not have caused the pandemic.
The Chairs are calling on Dr. Daszak to address the discrepancies in his testimony and publicly explain EcoHealth’s relationship with the WIV.
And appear he did yesterday for a brutal slog of an inquiry, which Dr. Richard Ebright, molecular biologist, described as a “parade of perjury.”
Via Nature (emphasis added):
Republicans in the US House of Representatives publicly grilled infectious-disease specialist Peter Daszak today during a long-awaited hearing on Capitol Hill. In their questioning they suggested that Daszak and the non-profit organization he heads, EcoHealth Alliance in New York City, knowingly conducted dangerous research by studying coronaviruses in partnership with a virology laboratory in Wuhan, China, the city in which the first COVID-19 cases were reported…
At the start of the hearing, subcommittee chairman Brad Wenstrup, a Republican representative from Ohio, announced the findings of a report evaluating EcoHealth’s research activities, which was issued earlier in the day. The interim report, released by the subcommittee’s Republican members, states that EcoHealth failed to disclose high-risk, ‘gain-of-function’ research that it conducted in partnership with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). Furthermore, the report recommends that the organization should be barred from receiving future federal funds and criminally investigated.
Performatively putting Daszak’s feet to the fire is all well and good, but it’s long past time for actual criminal prosecutions, not mere calls for them, for what many believe is the largest crime in world history to take place — ideally, military tribunal-style, which is what these people deserve.
The clandestine (and forbidden under U.S. government jurisdiction) manufacture of SARS-CoV-2 in an offshore lab was a militarized, pre-meditated conspiracy that resulted in the deaths, by the governing authorities’ own metrics, of over tens of millions of people worldwide.
The good news on that front is that, at the very least, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic offered numerous factual bases upon which a criminal prosecution of Daszak and his comrades would be pursued.
🚨EcoHealth violated the terms and conditions of its NIH grant by failing to report a potentially dangerous gain-of-function experiment conducted at the WIV.

Evidence shows that Dr. Daszak was aware of this potentially dangerous research, yet he failed to inform the NIH.
