With regard to the funding of gain-of-function research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, a type of study that artificially manipulates viruses to evaluate their potential negative effects on humans, Senator Cruz has leveled a serious accusation, alleging that Dr. Anthony Fauci misled Congress.
Senator Cruz expressed worry over the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) sponsoring EcoHealth Alliance, a research group that has funded Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, on his podcast “Verdict with Ted Cruz.” This has raised concerns about whether NIH-funded resources may have aided in the growth and spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that is causing the present global COVID pandemic crisis.

“I have asked Attorney General Merrick Garland whether he intended to prosecute Fauci and he dodges those questions, he refuses to answer those questions,” Cruz stated. “I’ve asked the FBI, they dodge those questions. Look, Fauci flat out told Congress under oath that the federal government was not funding gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute for Virology. … NIH, in writing, confirmed that they were funding gain of function research.”
In the episode with the title, “Fauci Lied, Millions Died-Bombshell Report Confirms Covid Came From A Chinese Lab,” The Republican Senator accused Dr. Fauci of lying when he denied that gain-of-function research had been conducted at Wuhan Institute of Virology when testifying before Congress in July 2021. (WIV). His and other attendees’ testimonies, however, indicate that this was not the case; rather, it has been said that while experiments were carried out by the institution with money from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), they fell short of the standards for “gain-of function” research. While the source of SARS CoV2 is still unknown, it is unquestionably one that merits more investigation into its origins.
Cruz continued, “If the entire COVID pandemic is the result of manmade changes to a virus to make it more dangerous to people, that is, number one, a powerful warning to stop screwing around and creating the next horrific pandemic that could result in a much, much higher death toll and potentially millions and millions dead, but number two, it goes straight to the culpability of the Chinese Communist government. … One of the most damning facts is that we know the Chinese lab destroy their samples immediately after the pandemic happened.”
Cruz’s unorthodox claims have drawn a lot of criticism from scientific community and Democratic MPs. Cruz’s findings has been questioned, leading to requests for more research into the origin of COVID-19.
“Now, in the criminal justice system, if you destroy evidence, frequently, a court or a jury can draw an inference that you are destroying evidence, because it implicates you in guilt,” Cruz explained. “Destroying evidence, once you know that evidence could be relevant, demonstrates a guilty conscience that you’re trying to hide something.”
The publication of this new research coincides with a crisis in COVID-19 management and awareness on a global scale. Complaints have been leveled against China for their alleged lack of transparency in the early going, and government officials have come under fire for how they have handled such an unusual scenario.
As the globe works to solve the riddle behind the COVID-19 epidemic, a new age of discussion and analysis has begun. As there is now no clear solution, this problem continues to merit thorough examination from all facets of society.
