It says, “NIH's conditions for reinstating the funding to the EcoHealth Alliance are "outrageous," former NIH Director Harold Varmus told The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in an article published today that first reported the agency's demands.“
“Among the conditions included:
The EcoHealth Alliance must provide a sample of the pandemic coronavirus that WIV used to determine its genetic sequence.
The group must arrange for an outside inspection of WIV and its records "with specific attention to addressing the question of whether WIV staff had SARS-CoV-2 in their possession prior to December 2019," Lauer wrote.
The nonprofit must explain purported restrictions at WIV including "diminished cell-phone traffic in October 2019, and the evidence that there may have been roadblocks surrounding the facility from October 14-19, 2019."
The nonprofit must "provide the NIH with WIV's responses to the 2018 Department of State cables regarding safety concerns."”
