Original Note:
This is a misrepresentation of how these funds were granted to the lab in Wuhan. The NIH granted a $3.7m grant to the NY-based EcoHealth Alliance in 2014 over six years, some of which ($600k) was used for the WIV to conduct genetic experiments on coronaviruses in bats. https://www.politifact.com/article/2021/may/17/debating-origins-covid-19-virus-what-we-know-what-/ https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/8674931 https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/feb/08/worldnetdaily/no-dr-anthony-fauci-did-not-fund-research-tied-cov/
