HHS implemented a suspension on all funds allocated to EcoHealth Alliance, which used taxpayer funds to conduct gain of function research at the Wuhan lab before the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Department of Health and Human Services implemented an immediate, government-wide suspension on all funds allocated to EcoHealth Alliance – a firm that used taxpayer funds to conduct gain of function research at the Wuhan lab before the COVID-19 pandemic began. HHS made the decision, citing evidence included in the House COVID Select Subcommittee’s staff-level report on the nonprofit.

The U.S. Energy Department and the FBI have determined that COVID-19 likely emerged from a lab leak in China. Meanwhile, Wenstrup says his committee’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19 and EcoHealth 'is far from over.'
