A report on Sunday revealed that Pentagon gave $39 million to EcoHealth Alliance (EHA)- the charity that funded coronavirus research at Wuhan Lab.

Further complicating the mystery of the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a report on Sunday revealed that Pentagon gave $39 million to EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) – the charity that funded controversial coronavirus research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. The report comes as the charity’s chief, British-born scientist Dr. Peter Daszak, was exposed in an alleged conflict of interest and back-room campaign to discredit lab leak theories.

The U.S. nonprofit, set up to research new diseases, has also partly funded deeply controversial ‘gain of function’ experiments, where dangerous viruses are made more infectious to study their effect on human cells.
