Fauci Refuses to ‘Stop Funding Chinese’ Research With US Tax Dollars

Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), made the remarks while appearing virtually at the Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee hearing on June 16, during an exchange with Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kansas).

“The NIH is still funding research in China, at least $8 million since 2020. In the Intelligence Community’s 2022 Annual Threat Assessment, the Chinese Communist Party is presented as one of the top threats to the United States, along with Russia, Iran, Syria, and North Korea. To my knowledge, only China is receiving U.S. research dollars,” said the senator during the hearing. “When will you as director of NIAID stop funding research in China?”

[The U.S. federal agencies] had very productive peer-reviewed highly regarded research projects with our Chinese colleagues that have led to some major advances in biomedical research. So I don’t think I’d be able to tell you that we are going to stop funding Chinese.

We obviously need to be careful and make sure that when we do fund them we have the proper peer review and we go through all the established guidelines. Grants that go to foreign countries, including China, have State Department clearance.”

Dr. Fauci’s remarks prove that China is the drug he just can’t quit.
