Scientists Backtrack, Admit Proposed Virus Experiments Could Have Been Done in China

 Another scientist involved in the proposal also says he doesn't know if the work was done.

"To the very best of my knowledge the work hasn't been done," Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance, told a congressional panel this week.

"Do you know if the WIV started this work?" he was asked during a U.S. House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic hearing in Washington.

"There is no evidence of the work being done. There is no evidence that WIV started it," Mr. Daszak said.

Some outside scientists say the proposed work could have led to the creation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

"The DARPA proposal was not funded. Therefore, the work was not done. Simple," Mr. Daszak told The Intercept in 2022.

"Once we get the funds, we can then allocate who does what exact work, and I believe that a lot of these assays can be done in Wuhan as well." Mr. Daszak told Mr. Baric in a May 27, 2021, email released by the subcommittee that Ms. Zhengli said culturing of animal viruses was being done under biosafety level two conditions, or one level below that applied in many other countries.
