DATA & FIGURES

The documents show that $millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars were used to fund gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, which included planning for spike-protein modifications, receptor-adaptation experiments, and testing in humanized mice. The research track overlaps with work described in the 2018 DEFUSE proposal, which involved EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina, and Shi Zhengli's team at WIV.

THE SCENARIO

The geopolitical context of the situation involves the United States, China, and the global scientific community. The release of the documents has significant implications for the ongoing debate about the origins of COVID-19 and the role of Fauci and other U.S. officials in covering up the truth.
