Sen. Ernst targets group, which funded Wuhan lab suspected as COVID origin, with grant accountability bill
Fox News
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is introducing a bill aimed at holding organizations that take taxpayer dollars accountable amid the controversy over a group that had one grant suspended over its work with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), yet continued to receive federal funds through other methods.
That work was reportedly gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses, which drew scrutiny on the WIV as the potential origin point of the COVID-19 virus. Yet EcoHealth, Ernst said in a statement, continued to receive federal money – something she said she wants to stop.More Related News
