Fauci protected EcoHealth Alliance and its head Peter Daszak from federal scrutiny
By Ava Grace // Oct 07, 2024

Infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci reportedly shielded EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) and its head Peter Daszak from scrutiny by the U.S. federal government.

The Defender disclosed this revelation involving the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). It cited hundreds of documents, such as emails obtained under Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, congressional subpoena and congressional interview transcripts, to back up the report.

Based on the trove of evidence, the NIAID under Fauci protected the EHA from federal scrutiny – ensuring the organization led by Daszak continues to receive public money without the need to turn over key data. According to the Defender, EHA "collaborated on novel coronavirus discovery and engineering projects" with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China's central Hubei province.

When news of a novel coronavirus – which would later become the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) – first circulated, EHA was among the first grantees the NIAID under Fauci got in touch with. Daszak was among the invitees when the institute began conducting weekly calls with a few experts about COVID-19 in early February 2020.

In the summer of that year, a report said EHA maintained the goodwill of NIAID. This was manifested in the form of two grants awarded to the organization totaling $19.8 million. In a Nov. 18, 2021 email, Fauci's advisor David Morens wrote that his boss "asked how Peter is doing, as he often does, and he seemed to commiserate with him to a degree."

Despite evidence of EHA and NIAID's close ties, Fauci brazenly dismissed Daszak and his group as "minor and rogue grantees" at a congressional hearing this summer.

Daszak's group continued to receive funding thanks to allies within NIAID

Morens' November 2021 email came at a time when officials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suspended EHA's existing NIAID grant. The NIH also sought lab notebooks and unpublished genomic data as a condition to restore EHA's funding. The information demanded of the group could have shed light on the coronavirus research in Wuhan before the pandemic.

But according to sources, millions continued to flow to EHA thanks to the help of Daszak's allies within NIAID. Some of these allies were also instrumental in approving his coronavirus research in the first place. One such example is gain-of-function research which can enhance the transmissibility of a pathogen.

"Daszak would not ask his longtime collaborators in Wuhan for information sought by the U.S. government until … January 2022, two years after the pandemic began," the Defender mentioned. It added that most of the NIAID employees who helped Daszak maintain funding amid the pandemic still retain positions of influence at the institute. Fauci stepped down as NIAID director and retired from public sector in December 2022.

Meanwhile, Morens and his NIAID colleague Jeffery Taubenberger wrote an op-ed in defense of EHA. The piece referred to people concerned about gain-of-function research as "luddites" and "the complaining crowd."

But more than four years after the pandemic began, the Department of Health and Human Services – the NIH's parent agency – initiated debarment proceedings against EHA and Daszak. The agency cited problems uncovered by government officials outside NIAID and the House COVID-19 Select Subcommittee as a reason for the debarment. According to the Defender, Daszak has expressed his intention to contest the move.
