US EditionHHS pulls all federal funding from Wuhan Institute of Virology
- The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been barred from receiving federal funding for 10 years after conducting experiments with high potential for dangerous public health consequences. This move comes in response to mounting evidence and intelligence suggesting that the COVID-19 pandemic originated from a laboratory failure in Wuhan, China.
- House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup has called for a complete halt in U.S. Taxpayer funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He argues that this action is necessary due to the institute's years of conducting risky gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels. Wenstrup's committee has been pressing the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services regarding their funding of the WIV.
- The decision to cut off all American taxpayer dollars from the Wuhan Institute of Virology is seen as an important step in the right direction. The move to halt funding is timely and can be seen as a response to calls for accountability, as well as the need for increased biosafety levels and international cooperation in preventing future public health crises.
