THis looks suspiciously like a false claim that was made back in 2020 that the government had paid for Covid19 stuff before the so-called virus was even officially and publicly declared to exist.

The error was made because it appeared in US legislation that was tabled before 2020. However, the mistake was that legislation that is tabled can and often does go through a re-vetting, re-writing process so that something tabled in 2019 is actually filled with content that has been added in 20202, 2021 and 2022, even though the legislation name and table date remains as 2019.

I'd have to look closer to verify if this current report is grounded on such a mistaken apprehension of legislation, but the similarity in the assertions rings a bell....

EDIT: Lots of good content in that article providing a jumping off point for further research.
