Republican lawmakers have labeled as “absolutely reckless” a decision to grant a further $2.3 Million to the very same outfit at the centre of the likely coronavirus lab leak that led directly to a the global pandemic.

As reported by The Daily Mail, The Biden Administration, via the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has renewed the taxpayer grant to EcoHealth Alliance to research bat coronaviruses over the next four years, with the proviso that no gain of function activity is carried out.

The funding was previously blocked when it emerged that zoologist Peter Daszak had enabled the funnelling of the money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where the research into making the virus more deadly was carried out.

Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., who sits on the House Energy and Commerce Committee said “It’s absolutely reckless that the NIH has renewed a grant for EcoHealth Alliance given their negligence and the breach of their contract with the NIH on the coronavirus research done at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Griffith added that EcoHealth has “not been contrite” about the Wuhan lab connection and has actively refused to cooperate with Congressional investigations.

“Until they can demonstrate a willingness to work with Congress to resolve outstanding questions and fulfill all of the terms of their federal contracts, paid for with American taxpayer dollars, all funding should remain suspended, and no new contracts should be awarded,” Griffith urged.

GOP Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa added that the renewal of the NIH grant “doesn’t pass the COVID smell test,” further noting that “Ecohealth has already betrayed the trust of American taxpayers by funneling funds to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology for risky experiments on bat coronaviruses that may have unleashed the COVID-19 pandemic on the world.”

“Americans deserve accountability, which is why it’s past time to defund EcoHealth,” she added.

Kentucky Congressman James Comer asserted that “It’s bat crazy that the U.S. National Institutes of Health is resuming a suspended grant and allowing EcoHealth Alliance access to taxpayer dollars to conduct research on bat coronaviruses,” adding that the outfit “funneled taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan lab to conduct mad scientist research on bat coronaviruses that may have started the pandemic.”

“EcoHealth shouldn’t receive another dime from the U.S. government until we fully investigate what happened at the Wuhan lab,” Comer emphasised.

Last month, during a House hearing on the origins of the COVID Pandemic, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe declared that “a lab leak is the only explanation credibly supported by our intelligence, by science and by common sense.”

A Senate report also concluded that the pandemic most likely came from a lab leak and was the result of a “research-related incident” in Wuhan.

The 300-page document notes that the theory that COVID-19 jumped from animals to humans in a market “no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt, or the presumption of accuracy.”

    Maryland School Implements New Mask Mandate

    As Biden masks up in front of the press

    An elementary school in Maryland has reinstated mandatory mask requirements, as Joe Biden appeared in front of the press wearing a face covering Tuesday.

    Rosemary Hills Elementary School in Silver Spring, a wealthy DC suburb, has brought back the mask mandate for students and staff, and added that the coverings should be N95 masks.

    The school sent out a letter informing parents they have taken the decision after just THREE students tested positive for COVID.

    “Additional KN95 masks have been distributed and students and staff in identified classes or activities will be required to mask while in school for the next 10 days, except while eating or drinking. Masks will become options again following the 10-day period,” the letter states.

    We’ve heard that one before.

    “At-home rapid test kids will be sent home and made available for students,” Principal Irwin Kennedy further notes, adding that CDC guidance decrees that testing should be done “5 days after an exposure (starting day 6)” or at such time as symptoms occur.

    “We will continue to reinforce good hand washing and follow cleaning and disinfection procedures,” the letter further states.

    The move comes as Joe Biden donned a face diaper as he arrived at a White House gathering, before removing it altogether.

    The White House says Biden will wear the mask after his multiple time vaxxed and boosted wife contracted COVID again.

    Trump Lockdown Tyrant Does 180, Says No New Mask Mandates

    When COVID-19 broker out, Dr. Deborah Birx, a former military AIDS researcher with no training, experience, or publications in epidemiology or public health policy, found herself leading a White House Task Force which would play a seminal role in dictating how the country locked down for the pandemic.

    In March of 2020, Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci were grinning like Cheshire Cats with Duper’s Delight as they laid out an unprecedented lockdown and masking strategy which Birx later admitted they pulled out of their asses.

    Now that we’re revisiting mask mandates over the latest Covid-19 surge, Birx and Fauci are seemingly on different sides of the debate.

    We don’t need to mandate,” Birx told Newsmax on Saturday, in response to reports that an increasing number of hospitals and businesses are now requiring masks again.

    We need to actually empower people with the information that they need for themselves and their families because every family is different,” she continued. “And by the way, outside is safe, and playgrounds are safe.”

    Meanwhile Fauci – the guy who was funding risky bat coronavirus research in Wuhan, China and was then put in charge of the Coronavirus response in which he had scientists scramble to create and bolster propaganda denying a lab leak – went on CNN to push for mask mandates, claiming “there have been many studies indicate the benefit of wearing masks.”

    Yet, Anchor Michael Smerconish brought up the Cochrane review of masks, one of umpteen studies that have all found that the face coverings do little to nothing against COVID transmission (via Summit News).

    “When you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong,” Fauci said, sqirming. “There are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level, for individuals they might be protective.”

    Sure Tony…

    Video: Fauci Squirms As CNN Anchor Confronts Him With Data Showing Masks Don’t Work

    “There are other studies”

    Anthony Fauci refused to back away from the recommendation of face masks Saturday as CNN (of all networks) confronted him with a study showing that they have no effect on preventing the spread of COVID.

    After Fauci claimed “there have been many studies indicate the benefit of wearing masks,” Anchor Michael Smerconish brought up the Cochrane review of masks, one of umpteen studies that have all found that the face coverings do little to nothing against COVID transmission.

    “When you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong,” Fauci squirmingly admitted, but then went on to suggest people should still wear them anyway.

    “There are other studies, Michael, that show at an individual level, for individuals they might be protective,” Fauci claimed.

    Senator Rand Paul blasted Fauci for spreading “more subterfuge”:

    Others chimed in:

    Elsewhere during the interview Fauci said he hopes people will comply with wearing masks again, while stating “we’re not talking there’s forcing anybody to do anything.”

    He continued, “We’re not talking about mandates or forcing anybody but when you have a situation where the volume of cases in society gets to a reasonably high level, particularly the vulnerable, those who are elderly, and those with underlying conditions are going to be more susceptible and vulnerable if they do get infected to get severe disease leading to hospitalization.”

    “I would hope that if in fact we get to the point where the volume of cases is such an organization’s like the CDC recommend, CDC doesn’t mandate anything, I mean, recommends that people wear masks, I would hope that they abide by the recommendation and take into account the risk to themselves and to their families,” Fauci further stated.

    He continued, “People keep thinking that the federal government is going to mandate that you wear a mask, that’s not going to happen,” he said. “But there may be individual institutions, organizations that are going to say, if you want to come to work, you’ve got to wear a mask.”

    Here is the full interview:

    As we have highlighted, there is a creeping attempt to bring back masking and COVID restrictions despite no large bounce in cases and the fact that they just don’t work.
