The first Dr. Peter Daszak may be the first person to be punished for his role in the Covid-19 pandemic. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services “commenced individual debarment proceedings against Dr. Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, Inc.” This means that he will no longer be able to lead medical projects with taxpayer money.
EcoHealth Alliance was the contractor that the National Institute of Health employed to conduct gain of function research, which is suspected of having a role in the possible Covid-19 lab leak. Representative Brad Wenstrup said that Dr. Daszak showed “contempt for the American people [with] his flagrant disregard for the risks associated with gain-of-function research, and [willfully violated] the terms of his NIH grant.” He is suspected of having lied to Congress about his projects in connection with the NIH.
That week HHS revoked all government funding to EcoHealth Alliance.
So if the NIH employed EcoHealth, and EcoHealth was up to no good, we can be pretty sure Dr. Fauci is no innocent flower. One of his top advisors, Dr. Morens, testified to Congress on Wednesday about hiding emails involving Dr. Fauci. He says that the emails about hiding emails were just jokes.
So funny, right?
