[Daily Caller via Rantingly] The National Institutes of Health has doled out nearly $46 million in taxpayer funds to 100 Chinese institutions in the form of subgrants since fiscal year 2012, federal data shows.
27 of the Chinese organizations, including the Wuhan Institute of Virology, received funds from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIH subagency to perform research on infectious diseases, the data shows.
One of the subgrants from Fauci’s subagency to a Chinese government-owned institution explicitly states that the U.S. will only receive taxpayer-funded research data upon approval by Chinese government authorities.
A bipartisan group of senators wrote a letter to President Joe Biden on Tuesday questioning why the U.S. is funding research in a country that has violated international health regulations, has stonewalled inquiries into the origin of COVID-19 and that may be in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention.
