US National Institutes of Health reinstates grant to EcoHealth Alliance for more controversial coronavirus research in China

Why is any of this research conducted in a totalitarian dictatorship and at a research institute that is also possibly involved in the development of biological weapons?

The lab leak hypothesis is still the best explanation!

There is also a strong suspicion that this research was done in circumvention of stricter U.S. regulations!!!

This is insane and irresponsible!

"The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has reinstated a grant to a highly scrutinized research organization that studies bat coronaviruses — but the agency has placed several stipulations on the scope of the research and on the organization’s accounting practices.

The move caps a years-long saga that has thrust the EcoHealth Alliance, a small non-profit organization in New York City, into the political fray for its collaborations with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. In April 2020, after then-US-president Donald Trump hinted that SARS-CoV-2 originated in a WIV laboratory, the NIH terminated EcoHealth’s grant. ...
Researchers who spoke to Nature applaud the renewal [???], adding that this type of research is essential to avert the next pandemic. ..."

NIH reinstates grant for controversial coronavirus research EcoHealth Alliance lost funding during the Trump administration, but can now proceed with its research — under extensive restrictions.
