This government action is an answer to our prayers.
From National Review. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has suspended the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s eligibility to receive federal funding for ten years after the lab failed to turn in requested documents about safety and security measures.
HHS issued a memo on Monday notifying the lab of its decision and warning that it is also seeking to permanently blacklist the lab from receiving future taxpayer funds. The lab hasn’t received funds from the National Institutes of Health since July 2020.
The lab can challenge the suspension and proposed debarment.
The move comes after the agency found in a review that began last September that the facility was not compliant with federal regulations. …
The lab has failed to share information about its biosafety practices and has resisted investigations into its safety and security protocol violations.
The Wuhan Institute received a sub-award of a 2014 NIH grant that was issued to EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based organization focused on preventing infectious diseases. The grant was for “understanding the risk of bat coronavirus emergence.” EcoHealth Alliance also sent U.S. Agency for International Development funds to the lab.
EcoHealth Alliance attracted significant attention from Republican lawmakers during the pandemic because of its gain-of-function research, which involves extracting viruses from animals and engineering them in a lab to make them more transmissible or dangerous to humans. Two of EcoHealth’s NIH grants involve gain-of-function research and enhanced potential pandemic research on coronaviruses.
The U.S government temporarily paused funding for gain-of-function research in 2014 due to concerns over biosafety and biosecurity. However, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases staff and EcoHealth leaders found loopholes to allow the nonprofit to continue its work infecting genetically-engineered mice with hybrid viruses until the pause was lifted in 2017. …
Pause now to thank God for this accountability, even if you think it may be insufficient.

FATHER GOD thank YOU for totally stopping funding for any bio-warfare labs in China or elsewhere in JESUS NAME! Amen
Lord, it seems that these days we are thankful for crumbs that are dropped on our plate when we do not know the source or motivation for the action being taken.. Lord-,while it is good that this funding was removed.. who knows what is really going on behind the scenes,
.. we know that a great shaking is coming
Lord I just pray that we could stay focused on you and continue to be the conduit through which you work with our prayers to stop these evils..Lord and we know that you work all things together for good that even actions that are duplicitous and even based in evil you can use and do use for your goodness Lord.. and for our preservation.. Lord forgive us for our sin-,and help us to continue to seek you and not grow weary.
In Jesus mighty Name, Amen
Father, we thank you for this move of HHS. Thank you for your work in our nation. We look forward and praise you for continued revelation and dealing with evil. We praise your name.
It would be nice to see funds cut off from those pumping fentanyl into the world. Or is that simplistic to think not being paid would do what we want?
Christ is King. Amen
Thank you Jesus for hearing our cries!! For forgiving us as a wicked nation! Thank you Jesus for mercy and grace! Amen!
Lord thank You that funding was cut off from the Chinese lab. Lord may all funding be cut off where accountability is lacking and oversight is weak. Too much tax payer money is wasted on hurtful and nonsense things. May Congress spend wisely and with discretion. I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
