Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is testifying on Monday at the House subcommittee hearing about the US’s Covid-19 response and origins of the virus. Follow the Post’s latest updates for news, analysis, and fact checking.
Fauci has had a 'pretty high level' security clearance since the 2001 anthrax attacks in America, according to his closed-door congressional testimony earlier this year. During the subcommittee hearing on Monday, he acknowledged that he received national security briefings related to COVID-19 from US intelligence agencies — including the FBI and CIA. “I’ve never discussed the Chinese bioweapons program with anybody,' Fauci testified at one point.
'Between 2017 and 2019, the WIV funded and some of its personnel conducted research projects to enhance China’s knowledge of pathogens and early disease warning capabilities for defensive and biosecurity needs of the military,' the report states. NIH funded risky gain-of-function research at WIV as part of a grant to EcoHealth Alliance, which conducted experiments on novel bat coronaviruses between 2014 and 2021.
