Flashback: Why did Moderna sign a government contract for its vaccines before COVID-19?



When Dr. Fauci testified before a House subcommittee on the origins of COVID-19, many thought the time had finally come for tough questions.

While the questions asked made it clear that he lied about six-foot distancing and masking — Glenn Beck knows it could, and should, have been a lot worse.

“I find this incredible that we’ve missed this,” Glenn says, noting that the government signed a contract with Moderna on December 12, 2019, that ensured the pharmaceutical company would not be held liable for its vaccines.

The contract was originally proposed in 2015.

“I’ve been through many, many high level negotiations, but I’ve never seen anything that started four years before. Coincidentally, once they find the Frankenstein virus and then they negotiate for four years, and what a coincidence, they sign it just before the breakout of COVID,” Glenn says.

Not only was the pharmaceutical company ready far before the outbreak, but Dr. Fauci had been funding gain-of-function research — which he has continuously lied about.

“There’s lie number one. Then this strange, ‘Hey let’s partner with Moderna.’ I don’t think this is normal,” Glenn continues, noting that the gain-of-function research was paid for by American taxpayers.

“Where’s the money, where’s it going? My feeling is it’s going to fund more of this,” he predicts, adding, “We already know Fauci was funding the Wuhan lab. We also recently found out that he was funding experiments that killed puppies in a gruesome way. So, what else was getting funded through government and private funds?”

After following the money trail as well as endless incriminating emails, Glenn has come to a conclusion.

“Is there any other way to describe it other than Fauci and the president’s science advisor colluding behind the president’s back, withholding information from him?” he asks.

“Fauci has already been brought in front of Congress and Rand Paul caught him in a bold-faced lie. Fauci will testify again, but it’s probably time to bring in the former president’s science advisor as well."

House COVID-19 committee wants Wuhan lab-linked EcoHealth Alliance boss criminally investigated, barred from receiving grants



The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic released a damning report Wednesday recommending that EcoHealth Alliance be permanently cut off from taxpayer funding and that its lab-leak-theory-denying president, British zoologist Peter Daszak, also be cut off from federal funding and criminally investigated.

The report, released ahead of the subcommittee's hearing with Daszak, reiterated previous findings, confirmed old suspicions, and made abundantly clear that EHA — an organization that critics including Rutgers University biologist Richard Ebright have long suspected kicked off the pandemic — behaved both opaquely and irresponsibly before, during, and after the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

"Dr. Daszak and his organization conducted dangerous gain-of-function research at the WIV, willfully violated the terms of a multi-million-dollar NIH grant, and placed U.S. national security at risk. This blatant contempt for the American people is reprehensible," Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), chairman of the subcommittee, said in a statement.

Background

EHA appears to be an organization central to the COVID-19 pandemic — a world-altering event that claimed the lives of millions of people worldwide.

Blaze News previously reported on the basis of federal documents obtained by the watchdog group White Coat Waste Project that the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, under the leadership of Anthony Fauci, and the United States Agency for International Development funded an EcoHealth subcontractor's work on coronaviruses to the tune of $41 million.

That subcontractor, named as an investigator on the grants, was Ben Hu.

Hu, the Wuhan Institute of Virology's lead gain-of-function researcher on coronaviruses, happened to be one of the three lab researchers infected with COVID-19 in November 2019 — all three possibly patients zero.

The White Coat Waste Project revealed that Hu had his name name on U.S. taxpayer-funded grants awarded by the then-Fauci-led NIAID and the USAID.

An EcoHealth-administered grant of $3,586,760 from the NIAID was marked "pending" for a project titled "understanding the risk of bat coronavirus emergence" for work to be undertaken from June 2019 through May 2024. The same project had previously received $3,086,735 in American taxpayer money from NIAID between June 2014 and May 2019.

2. @WhiteCoatWaste got the NIAID grant with Ben Hu's name on it. This is the NIH institute that Tony Fauci ran. Ya' know, the guy who said he didn't fund this research?\n\nDocument shows Ben Hu is a subcontractor to Peter Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance.\n\nHu also reports a USAID grant.
— (@)

After the pandemic hit and people started asking questions, Daszak immediately got defensive. After all, he likely knew that these and other paper trails linked his organization to dangerous experiments that may have been responsible the manufacture and escape of a mass-killing virus.

In 2020, he called NIH requests that U.S. federal officials inspect the WIV "heinous" and derided suggestions that the virus might have leaked from the WIV as "conspiracy theories."

In a Sept. 7, 2021, email to David M. Morens, senior scientific adviser to the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a witness grilled in the new House report, Daszak wrote, "The lab leakers are already stirring up bullshit lines of attack that will bring more negative publicity our way — which is what this is about — a way to line up the [gain-of-function] attack on Fauci, or the 'risky research' attack on all of us."

The final report

Over a year after the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Inspector General made clear that EHA had dropped the ball on oversight regarding the use of grant money on coronavirus research in China and failed to comply with various federal requirements, the COVID Select Subcommittee released its report further exposing EHA's dangerous failures as well as the "serious, systemic weaknesses at the National Institutes of Health that enabled EcoHealth to fund dangerous gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China."

The subcommittee concluded after reviewing over 1 million pages of documents and interviewing dozens of witnesses that:

  • EHA "violated its grant terms and conditions by failing to report a potentially deadly experiment conducted by the WIV";
  • EHA used American taxpayer funds to "facilitate gain-of-function research on coronaviruses in Wuhan at the WIV, contrary to previous public statements, including those by Dr. Anthony Fauci";
  • While trying to get his grant reinstated, Daszak "omitted the material fact that unanalyzed samples and sequences — that the U.S. paid for -— are in the custody and control of the WIV"; and
  • EHA lied about being unable to submit its Year 5 Report and missed the National Institute of Health's deadline for filing it by two years.

The late submission of the five-year report is particularly interesting, as the report concerned the use of NIH funds on research regarding pandemic prevention. The fifth year in which these funds were received and used "concerningly coincides with the time period immediately preceding the COVID-19 pandemic," according to the committee.

The report was released ahead of the committee's hearing with Daszak.

Anthony Bellotti, president and founder of the White Coat Waste Project, said in a statement to Blaze News, "As the group that first exposed and ended EcoHealth's batty boondoggle with the Wuhan animal lab and uncovered damning documents detailing how EcoHealth's reckless gain-of-function experiments probably infected Patient Zero and prompted the pandemic, we're glad that Peter Daszak is finally being hauled before Congress to answer for lying, wasting taxpayers' money, breaking the law, abusing animals, and threatening public health."

"It's high time EcoHealth and Daszak were held accountable because our investigations have documented how they've gotten off scot-free so far and raked in $60 million of new taxpayers’ cash just since the pandemic began," added Bellotti.

"Peter Daszak is the closest this committee will ever get to questioning a Chinese spy," Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) told the Daily Mail. "His direct role in providing funding for the Wuhan lab and his lies and personal involvement in the COVID cover-up that followed were directly responsible for the public health and economic disaster that followed."

"As the saying goes, 'follow the money,' and the money was flowing directly from Dr. Fauci and the NIH to Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance and his gain-of-function research," continued Jackson. "This IS where COVID originated, and this IS who funded it!"

In his opening remarks, Rep. Wenstrup stressed that "EcoHealth’s actions themselves are a threat to national security."

More Evidence Emerges Confirming Covid Lab-Leak Theory, But Corporate Media Stay Silent

Given what we know now, a coronavirus pandemic that emerged out of Wuhan more than three years ago seems less like a coincidence.

Rand Paul offers his theories for Dr. Fauci's alleged secret visit to CIA headquarters: 'Further the cover-up'



Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) floated on Thursday his theories for why Dr. Anthony Fauci allegedly visited the CIA headquarters to advise the intelligence agency on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

What is the background?

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic revealed this week that it had received "concerning information" about the CIA's investigation into the origins of the pandemic.

In a letter sent to the inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services, committee Chairman Brad Wenstrup explained:

The information provided suggests that Dr. Fauci was escorted into Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters—without a record of entry—and participated in the analysis to “influence” the Agency’s review. Our goal is to ensure the scientific investigative process regarding the origins of COVID-19 was fair, impartial, and free of alternative influence.

Importantly, the visit remains an allegation only; Congress has not made public evidence proving the visit took place.

What did Paul say?

The Kentucky Republican, Fauci's archenemy, posited three theories for the purpose of Fauci's alleged visit to CIA headquarters.

First, Paul suggested that Fauci outright "convinced the CIA to dishonestly obscure the lab origin of COVID." Second, Paul suggested the inverse, that the "CIA convinced Fauci to obscure the lab origin of COVID."

Finally, Paul suggested, "An outside entity or person with unlimited monetary resources convinced Fauci to influence the CIA to obscure the lab origin of COVID."

One thing, however, "is for certain," Paul declared, "Fauci did not visit the CIA to seek the truth but to facilitate and further the cover-up."

— (@)

The CIA is one of the intelligence agencies that has not reached a definitive conclusion about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The Central Intelligence Agency and another agency remain unable to determine the precise origin of the COVID-19 pandemic, as both hypotheses rely on significant assumptions or face challenges with conflicting reporting," explained a declassified report from the director of national intelligence.

That conclusion, or lack thereof, was purportedly reached despite six of seven CIA investigators allegedly concluding the pandemic originated at the Wuhan bio lab.

Leaked Pentagon paper indicates the US government suspected all along that Fauci's COVID-19 natural-origins theory was rubbish



A leaked Pentagon paper penned early in the pandemic indicates the U.S. government suspected all along that Fauci's COVID-19 natural-origins theory may have been rubbish.
The paper, obtained and released this week by a COVID-19 origins research outfit, concluded that the arguments for a zoonotic origin advanced in the March 2020 paper commissioned and given final approval by retired National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Dr. Anthony Fauci were "based not on scientific analysis, but on unwarranted assumptions."

What's the background?

Despite privately expressing uncertainty about the origin of the virus, there was a well-documented effort by Fauci and several of his peers — some with connections to the Wuhan lab and the dangerous research on coronaviruses undertaken there — to downplay the possibility that COVID-19 originated in a lab and to instead bolster then-unsubstantiated claims that the virus had naturally made the trans-species jump to humans.
TheBlaze previously reported that many of the top scientists who were attempting to account for the origin of the furin cleavage site on the virus' spike protein — responsible for its relatively high infectivity — were confronted with the strong possibility of human intervention.
Scripps Research Institute immunology professor Kristian G. Andersen, whose later claims are referenced in the newly leaked Pentagon paper, directed British evolutionary biologist and virologist Edward Holmes' attention to the "furin cleavage site between the S1 and S2 junctions," which had features characteristic of genetic engineering.

Some of Andersen's colleagues were "bothered by the furin site" and had "a hard time explaining that as an event outside the lab."

Michael Farzan, professor and chair at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at the Scripps Research Institute, reportedly suggested prior to the publication of the narrative-curing March paper, "A likely explanation could be something as simple as passaging SARS-like CoVs in tissue culture on human cell lines (under BSL-2) for an extended period time, accidentally creating a virus that would be primed for rapid transmission between humans via gain of furin site (from tissue culture) and adaptation to human ACE2 receptor via repeated passage."

Andersen raised the matter of a gain-of-function study that "looked like a how-to manual for building the Wuhan coronavirus in a laboratory."
Notwithstanding these concerns and others that human meddling and/or a lab leak might be to blame for the pandemic that ultimately claimed more than 15 million lives worldwide, the scientists rushed out "The Proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2," which was ultimately published March 17, 2020, in Nature Medicine — just one month after Andersen admitted, "We are at a crossroad where the scientific evidence isn't conclusive enough to say that we have high confidence in any of the three main theories considered."

An undisclosed counterpoint

Commander Jean-Paul Chretien, a Navy epidemiologist working at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and Dr. Robert Greg Cutlip, a senior scientist at the Institute for Defense Analysis who previously worked as a senior research scientist with the Defense Intelligence Agency, wrote a critique of the Fauci-endorsed natural-origins paper.
The paper was leaked to the public Monday by a research group that calls itself the "Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19."
Chretien and Cutlip's working paper, dated May 26, 2020, cast significant doubt on Andersen's suggestion that the notable features of COVID-19 — namely the presence of key amino acids in the receptor binding domain not found in SARS-related coronaviruses and the furin cleavage site — arose naturally and not as the result of laboratory manipulation.
Rather, the authors noted that the features of the virus discussed by Andersen were "consistent with another scenario: that SARS-CoV-2 was developed in a laboratory, by methods that leading coronavirus researchers commonly use to investigate how the viruses infect cells and cause disease, assess the potential for animal coronaviruses to jump to humans, and develop drugs and vaccines.”
Chretien and Cutlip referenced a number of experiments that evidenced ways by which a similar virus could have been created, including a 2015 study examining "the disease potential of a SARS-like virus, SHC014-CoV," which at the time had been circulating in Chinese horseshoe bat populations."
This particular study, involving a virologist at the Wuhan lab believed to be the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, claimed to have reverse-engineered SARS-CoV to create a "chimeric virus" expressing the spike of a bat coronavirus in a mouse-adapted SARS-CoV backbone.
TheBlaze previously noted that the 2015 study also resulted in the production of a strain that was able to "replicate efficiently in primary human airway cells."

Chretien and Cutlip concluded their paper thusly: "The evidence Andersen et al. present does not lessen the plausibility of laboratory origin."

Undesirable facts get sidelined

Prior to this working paper's completion, Fauci had already successfully pitched his version of events to the American people.

Fauci told CBS' "Face the Nation" in March 2020 that COVID-19 was an animal virus that jumped to a human.

When asked during a White House press briefing on April 17, 2020, whether it was possible that the virus "came out of a laboratory in China," Fauci answered in the negative, citing the paper without bothering to note he had commissioned, edited, and approved it.

In May 2020, around the time the Pentagon paper was timestamped, Fauci told National Geographic that there was "no scientific evidence" to suggest the virus had come from the Wuhan lab.

Report: Former British health secretary was censored by government on lab leak claims, China criticism



Over 100,000 WhatsApp messages attributed to former British health secretary Matt Hancock were recently leaked to the Telegraph by the journalist with whom he penned his book, "Pandemic Diaries."

Hancock's correspondences have since provided Britons with some insight into the machinations and thinking of their government at the outset of the pandemic.

For instance, they learned that at one stage via messages from Hancock's deputy in the Department of Health and Social Care from 2020 to 2021 that ministers had considered exterminating all cats in the isles to prevent the spread of COVID.

Perhaps more alarming is the new report that the British government sought to prevent Hancock from suggesting in his book, "Pandemic Diaries," that COVID-19 may have come from a Chinese lab.

Ministry of truth

The Telegraph reported that Hancock initially intended to suggest the zoonotic origins theory "just doesn't fly."

However, the Cabinet Office, keen not to "cause problems" with the genocidal Chinese Communist Party, stressed to the health secretary that the British government's position was that the outbreak's location (i.e., near a controversial lab that conducted dangerous experiments on coronaviruses) was "entirely coincidental."

This so-called coincidence claimed the lives of tens of millions worldwide, including over 207,000 in the United Kingdom.

The difference between the following excerpts, first as they appeared in Hancock's manuscript, then as they appear in their final form in the book as approved by the Cabinet Office after it had made its changes, are significant.

In the manuscript, Hancock wrote: "Given how cagey the Chinese have been, I think we have to treat their official version of events – still the Wuhan thing – with considerable scepticism. Imagine there was an outbreak of a deadly new virus in Wiltshire and we shrugged off the fact that the outbreak ‘just so happened’ to be near a little place called Porton Down. We’d be laughed out of town. Global fear of the Chinese must not get in the way of a full investigation into what happened."

The Cabinet Office suggested this "is highly sensitive and would cause problems if released."

It would appear global fear of the Chinese regime was sufficient to thwart even a cabinet minister's discussion of a full investigation.

In the sanitized version, the Cabinet Office had the following go to print: "Though the international consensus and the government’s position is that the virus originated at the Wuhan wet market, I remain sceptical. There must be a full investigation into what happened."

The Telegraph revealed that the Cabinet Office claimed in response to Hancock's initial writ that "the reference to Porton Down is damaging to national security," as Russia had drawn a link between the bioweapons lab and the Novichok poisoning just a few miles away.

Porton Down is the site where the U.K. conducts some of its military research and was where the government ran its chemical and biological weapons program until allegedly closing it down in 1950. Now, officials claim that Porton Down has since been "active in developing effective countermeasures to the constantly evolving threat posed by chemical and biological weapons."

Whereas some portions of Hancock's manuscript were sanitized, others were purged altogether.

The former health secretary reportedly planned to write in one section, "To me it seems pretty credible. It’s just too much of a coincidence that the pandemic started in the same city as the lab, which – by the way, is a full 40 minutes drive from the wet market originally linked to the outbreak."

"The only plausible alternative is that the virus was brought to Wuhan to be studied, and then escaped," he added. "The Chinese denials are a bit like us claiming that a random virus just happened to break out near a little place called Porton Down, perhaps because of some badgers. It just doesn’t fly."

Again, the Cabinet Office apparently did not find that this telling satisfactorily complemented the Chinese regime's preferred narrative. Hancock was permitted only to say, "To me, this explanation seems pretty credible. The plausible alternative is that the virus was brought to Wuhan to be studied and then escaped."

Appeasing the dragon

The British government's public view on the origins of COVID-19 has evolved slowly over the years.

When the Trump administration suggested the virus originated in a CCP lab at the outset of the pandemic, Foreign Policy reported the United Kingdom was unwilling to upset Beijing with similar boldness.

Then-prime minister Boris Johnson told reporters in May 2020 that "[c]learly there are questions that need to be answered about the origin and spread of the virus," adding that "[t]his will need to be done with all our international partners, including China."

According to the Sun, Johnson had been briefed by national security officials in April about the possibility of a lab leak, elsewhere derided as a conspiracy theory. His chief advisor at the time, Dominic Cummings, suggested there was uncertainty about whether the virus was engineered, whether it escaped from a lab, and what the implications might be.

In March 2021, the World Health Organization issued a China-approved and Chinese co-authored report concluding "a laboratory incident was considered to be an extremely unlikely pathway."

Shortly thereafter, Johnson, still publicly preferential to the zoonotic origin theory, claimed the government believed it was "much more likely" that the Wuhan virus "jumped" from animals to humans.

While Johnson was hedging, British intelligence agencies finally admitted that lab origins were "feasible."

Cambridge bio-security fellow Hamish de-Bretton Gordon told the Telegraph in February 2022 that attitudes had since changed in the British government, noting a growing sense that the "zoonotic transfer theory just didn't make sense."

"There is a huge amount of concern about coming out publicly, but behind closed doors most people think it’s a lab leak. And they are coming round to the fact that even if they don’t agree with that, they must accept it’s likely, and they must make sure the policies are in place to stop it," said Gordon.

Unsolved mysteries: 7 Deep-State SECRETS Biden wants buried



The Biden administration has weaponized the federal government against the American people. But officials have hidden most of their attacks behind a secretive and cavernous bureaucracy.

There are so many unsolved mysteries that Joe Biden and the Democrats not only refuse to answer, but in some cases appear as though they are ACTIVELY trying to cover up. Like what happened on January 6? Who is Ray Epps? Who planted the pipe bombs? What’s in Biden’s executive order on elections? What happened to the SCOTUS Dobbs leaker? What’s the COVID origin story? What’s happening with crypto, FTX, and the Central Bank Digital Currency?

These are just a few of the unsolved mysteries that we need to DEMAND answers on. On his Wednesday night special, Glenn Beck outlines a chalkboard that will leave you convinced the DOJ and FBI are LYING to the American people.

Senate Report Says Covid ‘More Likely Than Not’ Came From Lab Leak, After Media’s ‘Conspiracy Theory’ Smear

'It appears reasonable to conclude that the COVID-19 pandemic was, more likely than not, the result of a research-related incident,' the report concludes.

We May Never Know If Covid Leaked From A Lab Unless The United States Stops Helping China Cover Up The Truth

Whether lab or market origin, anyone trying to cover for China should remember both scenarios are humiliating for the Chinese government.
