“Fauci created COVID in a lab! He funded the Wuhan lab!”

What You Say

NIH funded broad coronavirus research through EcoHealth Alliance — standard pandemic-preparedness work predating COVID-19. Multiple intelligence reviews found no consensus that the virus was engineered. Conflating grant oversight with 'creating' a pandemic is conspiracy, not epidemiology. GAO and HHS OIG audit grant compliance; they don't support lab-leak certainty claims repeated in campaign ads.
