Officials at the U.S. nonprofit that passed taxpayer money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology – whose coronavirus bat research is now suspected by the FBI to be the source of the pandemic – helped the Interior Department research possible transmission of COVID-19 between humans and North American bats, according to newly released government memos.
“The real reason this has become so divisive is because it’s being used politically.
Scientists disagree over an issue where there’s no definitive proof.
Participants identified as "senior personnel" include EcoHealth VP of Research Kevin Olival, whose "team" description says he'll "provide mentorship and access to networks" and serve as "organizational backstop" for Ross.
Its National Wildlife Health Center "just completed an experimental challenge study in which big brown bats were experimentally exposed to SARS-CoV-2 to determine if they could become infected and shed the virus," the summary says.
USGS spokesperson Rachel Pawlitz did not provide a response to PPT's claims when asked by Just the News, but rather emphasized the report that emerged from its work with EcoHealth was an "interim, rapid-risk assessment done early in the pandemic to understand potential risks of COVID transmission to North American bat populations."
