The Biden Administration Finally Gets Around to... Stopping Paying the Wuhan Institute of Virology to Make More Bioweapons They Can Use Against Us

Aren't you impressed with your Regime Ruling Class, citizens?

The Biden administration has taken steps to permanently block China's Wuhan Institute of Virology from receiving funding from the U.S. government after a review found the facility non-compliant with federal regulations.

According to a Tuesday report from Bloomberg, the United States notified the institute of the decision to suspend funding on Monday and reportedly outlined in a memo plans to block the institute from receiving any potential future support.

The institute, located in the city where the COVID-19 outbreak began in China, previously received funding from the National Institutes of Health to conduct gain-of-function research on novel coronaviruses, and some believe it to be the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, though no governing body has made that definitive determination.

The White House did not return requests for comment on the topic, but a Department of Health and Human Services spokesperson told Bloomberg that "this action will ensure the [Wuhan Institute of Virology] does not receive another dollar of federal funding."

The former chief investigator for the Department of Education said the agency noticed a "startling" spike in Chinese donations to the University of Pennsylvania after President Joe Biden opened his think tank at the school in 2017. HOMR Digital Ads

"It was extraordinary," said Paul Moore, who served as the agency's chief investigative counsel during the Trump administration, in congressional testimony on Thursday. UPenn raked in over $100 million from China-based contributors between 2017 and 2022, the Washington Free Beacon reported earlier this year. This was a substantial increase from the four years prior to 2017, when the school received a total of $19 million.

Moore's testimony comes as UPenn and the Penn Biden Center face scrutiny over the surge in foreign donations, many of them anonymous, that coincided with the think tank's opening and President Joe Biden's election. Watchdog groups have said the funding raises concerns about foreign influence-buying.
