										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Anthony Fauci is a damned liar.</p>
<p>Don’t take my word for it. Take the word of the National Institutes of Health, which revealed this week the U.S. non-governmental group EcoHealth Alliance violated its reporting rules while conducting bat coronavirus research in collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.</p>
<p>In short, an federally funded non-profit conducted gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This is something that federal health officials — most notably National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci — assured everyone was a preposterous falsehood. Except it wasn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases funneled some $600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology when Fauci served as the agency’s director.</p>
<p>EcoHealth provided a five-year progress report on bat coronavirus research conducted under a National Institutes of Health grant, NIH principal deputy director, Lawrence Tabak, revealed this week in a letter. He added that “the limited experiment described in the final progress report” was “testing if spike proteins from naturally occurring bat coronaviruses circulating in China were capable of binding to the human ACE2 receptor in a mouse model.”</p>
<p>A separate National Institutes of Health report said, “in this limited experiment, laboratory mice infected with the SHC014 WIV1 bat coronavirus became sicker than those infected with the WIV1 bat coronavirus,” adding that “as sometimes occurs in science, this was an unexpected result of the research, as opposed to something that the researchers set out to do.”</p>
<p>It adds, “EcoHealth failed to report this finding right away, as was required by the terms of the grant. EcoHealth is being notified that they have five days from today to submit to NIH any and all unpublished data from the experiments and work conducted under this award.”</p>
<p>This comes after Fauci and National Institutes of Health chief Francis Collins claimed that NIH did not fund gain-of-function research in Wuhan. Rutgers University professor Richard Ebright told the Washington Examiner this week the National Institutes of Health letter is a “bombshell” because it “corrects the untruthful assertions” by Collins and Fauci “that NIH had not funded gain-of-function research on in Wuhan.”</p>
<p>This is to say nothing of the fact that the letter also reveals EcoHealth Alliance violated the terms of its federal grant.</p>
<p>“The NIH&#8217;s acknowledgment of the facts is new, but the facts themselves are not new,” he told Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy. “The NIH was informed about the the gain-of-function research in Wuhan in 2018 and again in 2020. Collins and Fauci lied to Congress, lied to the press, and lied to the public.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fauci asserted under oath that NIH never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan — a lie.</p>
<p>Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, who sits on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, even suggested during a hearing in July that Fauci was speaking falsely when he alleged that NIH had no hand in the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s &#8220;gain of function&#8221; research to mutate animal viruses to infect humans.</p>
<p>&#8220;Dr. Fauci, knowing it is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish to retract your statement?&#8221; the senator asked, citing a 2017 paper showing scientists in Wuhan specifically researched bat coronaviruses.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have never lied to Congress, and I do not retract that statement,&#8221; Fauci responded. &#8220;This paper that you are referring to judged by qualified staff up and down the chain as not being gain of function.&#8221;</p>
<p>Paul persisted, suggesting again the doctor was playing at semantics and intentionally misleading the public about the NIH’s ties to Wuhan.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sen. Paul, you do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly,” Fauci said. “And I would like to say that officially. You do not know what you are talking about.&#8221;</p>
<p>The senator pushed back, accusing Fauci of &#8220;dancing around this because you&#8217;re trying to obscure responsibility for 4 million dying around the world.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I totally resent the lie you are now propagating, senator,&#8221; Fauci said, adding that it is &#8220;molecularly impossible&#8221; for the viruses described in the 2017 paper to have caused COVID-19.</p>
<p>&#8220;No one is saying those viruses caused the pandemic,&#8221; Paul insisted. &#8220;What we&#8217;re alleging is that gain-of-function research was going on in that lab and NIH funded it. You can&#8217;t get away from it. It meets your definition and you are obfuscating the truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Fauci said, &#8220;I&#8217;m not obfuscating the truth. You&#8217;re the one — you are implying that what we did was responsible for the deaths of individuals. I totally resent that. And if anybody is lying here, senator, it is you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Earlier, in May, Fauci also told the Senate, “I do not have an accounting of what the Chinese may have done, and I am fully in favor of any further investigation of what went on in China. However, I will repeat again — the NIH and NIAID categorically has not funded gain-of-function research to be conducted in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.”</p>
<p>Compare these statements to what the National Institutes of Health revealed this week regarding EcoHealth Alliance.</p>
<p>The usual saying is that if someone is capable of lying about the little things, they are also capable of lying about the big things. But when it comes to Fauci, we’re a long way from just lying about little things. He graduated to telling big lies a long time ago.</p>

National Institute of Health (NIH).</p>
<hr />
<p>The U.S. government contributed to gain-of-function research on bat coronaviruses in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, a recently released report alleged.</p>
<p>Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) and chief medical advisor to President Biden, previously denied such research was ever funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).</p>
<p>The Intercept reported 900 new pages of NIH information previously undisclosed. Through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, The Intercept obtained that the federal grant money was used by EcoHealth Alliance to fund dangerous bat coronavirus research in the Chinese lab. The Intercept reported:</p>
<p><em>The bat coronavirus grant provided the EcoHealth Alliance with a total of $3.1 million, including $599,000 that the Wuhan Institute of Virology used in part to identify and alter bat coronaviruses likely to infect humans. Even before the pandemic, many scientists were concerned about the potential dangers associated with such experiments.</em></p>
<p><em>The grant proposal acknowledges some of those dangers: “Fieldwork involves the highest risk of exposure to SARS or other CoVs, while working in caves with high bat density overhead and the potential for fecal dust to be inhaled.”</em></p>
<p>The material was reviewed by Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University; he told The Intercept the “viruses they constructed were tested for their ability to infect mice that were engineered to display human-type receptors on their cell.”</p>
<p>In conclusion, Ebright accused Fauci and NIH Director Francis Collins of being “untruthful” in their previous remarks.</p>
<p>“The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful,” he wrote.</p>
<p>Fauci has admitted some funds went to Wuhan but claimed never to be used for “gain of function” support, as reported by Breitbart news.</p>
<p>Back in May, Fauci told the House Appropriations subcommittee the funds were given to the Chinese lab through EcoHealh Alliance to underwrite “a modest collaboration with very respectable Chinese scientists who were world experts on coronavirus.”</p>

<p>The 2015 to 2016 El Niño event brought weather conditions that triggered regional disease outbreaks throughout the world, according to a new NASA study that is the first to comprehensively assess the public health impacts of the major climate event on a global scale.</p>
<p>El Niño is an irregularly recurring climate pattern characterized by warmer than usual ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific, which creates a ripple effect of anticipated weather changes in far-spread regions of Earth.</p>
<p>During the 2015 to 2016 event, changes in precipitation, land surface temperatures and vegetation created and facilitated conditions for transmission of diseases, resulting in an uptick in reported cases for plague and hantavirus in Colorado and New Mexico, cholera in Tanzania, and dengue fever in Brazil and Southeast Asia, among others.</p>
<p>&#8220;The strength of this El Niño was among the top three of the last 50 years, and so the impact on weather and therefore diseases in these regions was especially pronounced,&#8221; said Assaf Anyamba, lead author  and research scientist at NASA&#8217;s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. &#8220;By analyzing satellite data and modeling to track those climate anomalies, along with public health records, we were able to quantify that relationship.&#8221;</p>
<p>The study utilized a number of climate datasets, among them land surface temperature and vegetation data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard NASA&#8217;s Terra satellite, and NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration precipitation datasets.</p>
<p>The study was published Feb. 13 in the journal Nature <em>Scientific Reports</em>.</p>
<p>Based on monthly outbreak data from 2002 to 2016 in Colorado and New Mexico, reported cases of plague were at their highest in 2015, while the number of hantavirus cases reached their peak in 2016. The cause of the uptick in both potentially fatal diseases was an El Niño-driven increase in rainfall and milder temperatures over the American Southwest, which spurred vegetative growth, providing more food for rodents that carry hantavirus. A resulting rodent population explosion put them in more frequent contact with humans, who contract the potentially fatal disease mostly through fecal or urine contamination. As their rodent hosts proliferated, so did plague-carrying fleas.</p>
<p>A continent away, in East Africa&#8217;s Tanzania, the number of reported cases for cholera in 2015 and 2016 were the second and third highest, respectively, over an 18-year period from 2000 to 2017. Cholera is a potentially deadly bacterial infection of the small intestine that spreads through fecal contamination of food and water. Increased rainfall in East Africa during the El Niño allowed for sewage to contaminate local water sources, such as untreated drinking water.</p>
<p>&#8220;Cholera doesn&#8217;t flush out of the system quickly,&#8221; Anyamba said, &#8220;so even though it was amplified in 2015-2016, it actually continued into 2017 and 2018. We&#8217;re talking about a long-tailed, lasting peak.&#8221;</p>
<p>In Brazil and Southeast Asia, during the El Niño dengue fever proliferated. In Brazil the number of reported cases for the potentially deadly mosquito-borne disease in 2015 was the highest from 2000 to 2017. In Southeast Asia, namely Indonesia and Thailand, the number of reported cases, while relatively low for an El Niño year, was still higher than in neutral years. In both regions, the El Niño produced higher than normal land surface temperatures and therefore drier habitats, which drew mosquitoes into populated, urban areas containing the open water needed for laying eggs. As the air warmed, mosquitoes also grew hungrier and reached sexual maturity more quickly, resulting in an increase in mosquito bites.</p>
<p>The strong relationship between El Niño events and disease outbreaks underscores the importance of existing seasonal forecasts, said Anyamba, who has been involved with such work for the past 20 years through funding from the U.S. Department of Defense. Countries where these outbreaks occur, along with the United Nations&#8217; World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization, can utilize these early warning forecasts to take preventive measures to minimize the spread of disease. Based on the forecast, the U.S. Department of Defense does pre-deployment planning, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) takes measures to ensure the safety of imported goods.</p>
<p>&#8220;Knowledge of the linkages between El Niño events and these important human and animal diseases generated by this study is critical to disease control and prevention, which will also mitigate globalization,&#8221; said Kenneth Linthicum, co-author and USDA center director at an entomology laboratory in Gainesville, Florida. He noted these data were used in 2016 to avert a Rift Valley fever outbreak in East Africa. &#8220;By vaccinating livestock, they likely prevented thousands of human cases and animal deaths.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a remarkable tool to help people prepare for impending disease events and take steps to prevent them,&#8221; said William Karesh, co-author and executive vice president for New York City-based public health and environmental nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance. &#8220;Vaccinations for humans and livestock, pest control programs, removing excess stagnant water—those are some actions that countries can take to minimize the impacts. But for many countries, in particular the agriculture sectors in Africa and Asia, these climate-weather forecasts are a new tool for them, so it may take time and dedicated resources for these kinds of practices to become more utilized.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to Anyamba, the major benefit of these seasonal forecasts is time.</p>
<p>&#8220;A lot of diseases, particularly mosquito-borne epidemics, have a lag time of two to three months following these weather changes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So seasonal forecasting is actually very good, and the fact that they are updated every month means we can track conditions in different locations and prepare accordingly. It has the power to save lives.&#8221;</p>
