US, Canada funded Wuhan virus lab research

[demi-conservative]

In a news release from early March, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research announced millions in funding to research and develop tools such as vaccines and tests to combat the coronavirus. One project that got $828,046 from the agency was aimed at developing a rapid coronavirus test "using isothermal amplification and CRISPR technology." Among the organizations on the project was the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

According to public documents compiled by the White Coat Waste Project and shared with Fox News, The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been involved with research funded by $7.1 million worth of U.S. government grants from the National Institutes of Health as it has participated in projects in collaboration with U.S. institutions. One grant for research on bat coronaviruses has received $3.7 million and another grant involving injecting viruses into mice's brains got $3.4 million.

The cable argued that the United States should give Chinese researchers at the Wuhan lab more support because its research on bat coronaviruses was important and dangerous. The lab had already been receiving assistance from the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

What is so funny? If this new test works out it could save lives.

It would be ironic.

Actually this is good news if the USA and Canada helped funding the lab, they are involved. So far there is no evidence linking the lab to any ethical research problems, nor links to COVAG-19.

Can you provide any evidence of problems with unethical research or links to the COVAG-19 pandemic? The statements I cited from a representative of the administration said there is no evidence and the COVAG-19 was most likely of natural origins,
