The fifth report was due in 2019, but EcoHealth maintains a miscommunication with NIH and a technical glitch led to its delay until this year.</p><p>and not getting a straight answer when confronting them on this:</p><p>> We sent questions to NIH about the failure to note the 2018 disclosure by EcoHealth and why it believed an increase in genome copies per gram would indicate 10-fold increase in viral growth. After a four-day wait, we received this emailed statement: “NIH stands by the letter provided to Congressional Committees in response to their inquiries and released by the House Energy & Commerce. NIH is not commenting on internal deliberations with the grantee beyond the information in the letter.”</p><p>Interesting!</p>

I'm digging into this now (progress will be slow since I am working ATM).</p><p>So far I am here:</p><p>> Even now, it’s not clear whether the research funded by EcoHealth in China amounted to gain of function. When the Intercept obtained EcoHealth documents in September, seven of 11 scientists who are virologists or work in adjacent fields told the Intercept that the work appeared to meet NIH’s criteria for gain-of-function research. Obviously, it’s a matter of dispute within the scientific community</p><p>Since this was written in 2021, I'm assuming further investigations have been done so I'm looking into evidence about whether or not <a href="https://social.freetalklive.com/tags/EcoHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>EcoHealth</span></a> performed gain of research experiments in <a href="https://social.freetalklive.com/tags/Wuhan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Wuhan</span></a>.
