Was COVID Sparked by U.S.-Funded Lab Experiments?
Kelly pressed the issue further, noting that the Wuhan Institute of Virology worked hand in hand with EcoHealth Alliance on risky viral experiments. Yet to this day, no one has come forward to confirm exactly which experiment unleashed the pandemic.
“We already know Eco-Health Alliance was partnering with this Wuhan lab to do gain-of-function research. We just never have been able to have somebody say it was that exact experiment that led to this COVID bug,” Kelly said. “Have we gotten there? What’s the new thing you’re digging in on?”
Gabbard admitted her team is pursuing that missing link: “We’re working on that with Jay Bhattacharya and look forward to being able to share that hopefully very soon. That specific link between the gain-of-function research and what we saw with Covid-19.”
Fauci’s Denials Under Fire
The implications are staggering. Kelly pointed out the obvious: “If that is true, and it was Peter Daszak’s research with the so-called Bat Lady that caused this pandemic, then we did fund it. Anthony Fauci helped fund the pandemic he was in charge of fighting.”
Gabbard agreed, reminding viewers of Fauci’s repeated clashes with Sen. Rand Paul: “Something he denied over and over to Sen. Rand Paul’s questioning, under oath,” she said. “So is it any wonder that he sought a pre-emptive pardon for anything during a certain period of time by President Biden before he left office?”
Smear Campaign Against Dissent
Kelly added that Fauci and his allies actively silenced opposing voices. “He strong-armed and smeared people like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya — anybody who came out and said they don’t know if it is natural, maybe it smacks of ‘lab,’” she said.
Gabbard agreed and made clear this is about far more than the past. “The reason why this is so important isn’t that this happened in the past, it is that this gain-of-function research is happening in biolabs around the world.”
Bio Labs in Ukraine and Global Dangers
She also recalled how she was attacked for warning about U.S.-funded labs in Ukraine at the start of the Russia-Ukraine war. “I got attacked and I think you saw this, we’ve probably talked about it on your show before when I warned against U.S.-funded bio labs in Ukraine when the Russia-Ukraine war kicked off for this very reason,” Gabbard said. “Who knows what kinds of pathogens are in these labs and if released, could create another COVID-like pandemic? And for that, I was called a Russian asset, trumpeting Putin’s talking points. All of this nonsense simply for speaking the truth.”
And she reminded Americans that this isn’t conspiracy theory. “By the way, it’s still on the U.S. Embassy Ukraine’s website today about how the U.S. has funded these bio labs in Ukraine,” she said.
End Gain-of-Function Once and For All
In her final remarks, Gabbard was clear: the only way to prevent another catastrophic pandemic is to end this dangerous research worldwide.
“In order to prevent another Covid-like pandemic or another major health incident that could affect us in the world we have to end this gain-of-function research, provide evidence that shows exactly why and how it’s in our best interest — the American people’s best interest — to bring about an end to it,” she said.
