NIH deleted COVID virus info at request of Wuhan researcher

Under the leadership of Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health complied with the wishes of researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China and deleted information about the genetic sequencing of the virus that causes COVID-19, according to emails obtained by a nonpartisan whistleblower and government oversight group.

The emails, obtained by a group called Empower Oversight through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, show a Wuhan University researcher submitted virus sequence information to the NIH's Sequence Read Archive then asked that it be deleted.

The documents also show an expert advised Collins and Fauci that Chinese data could undermine Beijing's claim that the pandemic did not originate in the Wuhan lab but had a natural origin.

Daszak was funded by Fauci to work at the Wuhan lab with the famed "Bat lady," Shi Zhengli, on the engineering of bat coronaviruses.

Two months after the letter was published, Daszak emailed Fauci to thank him for "Publicly standing up and stating that the scientific evidence supports a natural origin for COVID-19 from a bat-to-human spillover, not a lab release from the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

Further, a Jan. 31, 2020, email Fauci received from four top virologists shows there was strong evidence the virus was engineered in a lab.

After a teleconference the next day with Fauci to discuss the virologists' conclusion, the lead virologist began dismissing the lab-leak possibility as among "Crackpot theories" that "Relate to this virus being somehow engineered with intent and that is demonstrably not the case."
