Dr Christina Lin
April 2020
Abstract
A US NIH-funded $37 million project was approved by Trump‘s Covid-19 advisor Dr Anthony Fauci in 2015,
after the Obama White House imposed a ban on ‘monster-germ‘ research In October 2014, the federal government declared a moratorium on gain-of-function research to weaponize viruses related to influenza, Middle
East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) As a result, the research was
outsourced to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is currently at the center of scrutiny for the Covid-19
pandemic
