“I am demanding proof all funding to EcoHealth has been canceled and the documentation about the dangerous pathogens EHA collected or created has all been collected,” Ms. Ernst said Wednesday in letters to the National Institutes of Health, the Defense Department, the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
EcoHealth was also dinged for failing to get all the research data from the Wuhan lab, which means U.S. investigators are left with holes in the puzzle as they try to piece together the origins of COVID-19. That’s one leading explanation for the pandemic’s emergence, although many experts still believe the virus leaped from a wild animal to humans.“I want to remind everyone that we have not yet been given a chance to respond to allegations,” he wrote in one post over the weekend. “We will contest every one of them, with substantial evidence, both to the HHS & publicly.”
