Scientists Who Were Instrumental to COVID-19 ‘Natural Origins' Narrative Received Over $50 Million in NIAID Funding in 2020-2021

Ersen, who had privately told Fauci on Jan. 31, 2020, that the virus "Looked engineered," but later helped spearhead Fauci's efforts to promote a natural origins narrative, received a total of $7.4 million in funding in 2020 as compared to $4.5 million in grant proceeds in 2019.

The new CREID grants accounted for approximately $1.9 million of his 2020 grant proceeds and $2 million of his grant proceeds in 2021.

While it is not known at this point whether there was a connection between the increased funding and the scientists' involvement in shaping the public natural origins narrative, these new revelations raise an obvious question: How is it that among the thousands of scientists eligible to participate in the much-desired funding from the eleven grants provided by Fauci's new $82 million CREID initiative, three of those chosen happened to be the same individuals who had led the way in promoting Fauci's natural origins narrative-despite their private concerns that the virus had been created in a lab.

Garry, who told the senior members of Fauci's teleconference group that he "Really can't think of a plausible natural scenario where you get from the bat virus" to SARS-CoV-2, received $7 million in NIAID grants in 2020 as compared to $5.7 million in 2019.

The new CREID grant accounted for approximately $1.9 million of his 2020 grant proceeds and $1.8 million of his grant proceeds in 2021.

Another scientist who advised the Feb. 1, 2020, teleconference, Michael Farzan, received $9.9 million in grants from Fauci's NIAID in 2020, followed by another $7.9 million in 2021 and an additional $919,000 at the start of 2022.

Since the start of the pandemic, Weaver has received at least $6.6 million in funding from NIAID, including approximately $1.7 million in CREID grants in 2020 and another $2 million in 2021.
