COVID Origin: WCW investigation proves U.S. Govt Funded “Patient Zero”

If Ben Hu is patient zero, then this WCW investigation reveals the origin of COVID

Newly-leaked U.S. intelligence identified Hu as the first person to get sick at the Wuhan Lab

In 2021, the WCW Project first obtained these receipts via a FOIA challenge lawsuit proving the U.S. govt funded Hu’s gain-of-function animal experiments

Since 2019, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) has been following the money to China to determine what really happened in Wuhan, including first exposing the Wuhan lab’s U.S. taxpayer-funded bat coronavirus experiments to confirming that it wasted our tax dollars on reckless gain-of-function experiments on humanized mice in violation of U.S. policy.

Scientific and intelligence authorities and most Americans now believe that a lab leak in Wuhan caused COVID.  Still, finding Patient Zero remains key to definitively determining what prompted the pandemic.

A WCW Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) investigation and 2021 lawsuit—paired with other newly-leaked U.S. intelligence—further points to the Wuhan animal lab as ground zero.

YOUR RECEIPT: NIAID and USAID sent portions of over $41 million in taxpayer-funded grants to the very same animal lab where “Patient Zero,” now identified as Ben Hu, was the lead investigator performing dangerous gain-of-function experiments. Because of conflicting reports from EcoHealth and reporting loopholes, it is not yet clear exactly how much of your money was shipped to Hu for his dangerous animal experiments in Wuhan. Hu would have been funded by NIH until 2024 if WCW had not exposed and killed the grant in early 2020. (View full documentation below)

As we’ve previously written about, in January 2021, the State Department reported that white coats at the Wuhan lab who were working on coronavirus animal experiments fell ill in November 2019 with COVID-like symptoms, before the first case of COVID was even reported. A few months later, reports detailed that in November 2019 three Wuhan lab experimenters became so sick that they had to be hospitalized. Another report indicated that the wife of a Wuhan white coat died in December 2019 from a COVID-like illness.

In January 2021, the U.S. State Department reported that animal experimenters at the Wuhan lab were hospitalized with a COVID-like illness in Fall 2019.  Their identities have been classified…until now.

The identity of the sick Wuhan animal lab staffers has been kept a secret by U.S. and CCP authorities…until now.

A new report based on a U.S. government source identifies the three sick Wuhan lab staffers as Ben Hu, Yu Ping, and Yan Zhu. The source confirmed their identities with “100%” certainty.

A 2017 video from Chinese state-run TV shows Ben Hu, Shi Zhengli (the Wuhan lab’s infamous “Bat Woman”), and others handling bats and lab specimens without adequate protective gear.

All three Wuhan white coats were working on risky bat coronavirus experiments on humanized mice and Ben Hu is described as the person “who led the WIV’s “gain-of-function” research on SARS-like coronaviruses.”

We’ve got the receipts to prove it! Federal accounting records recently obtained by WCW through a 2021 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the NIH confirm that Ben Hu was a lead experimenter on the dangerous gain-of-function experiments funded by taxpayers via Dr. Fauci’s National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

According to the documents we obtained, Hu’s animal experiments were being bankrolled with U.S. taxpayer funds from NIAID and USAID grants that received over $41 million! The total amount funneled to Hu’s lab has not been disclosed by the government. His treacherous animal lab would have continued to receive taxpayer funding from NIAID until 2024 had WCW not exposed and killed the grant in early 2020.

Let’s recap: U.S. taxpayer-funded Wuhan white coats collect wild coronaviruses from bats in remote caves in China without adequate protective gear, transport the viruses to a lab in a major metropolitan area, do gain-of-function animal experiments to make the viruses more contagious and deadly to humans, and then fall ill with COVID-like symptoms and their identities and medical histories are covered-up.

Thanks to WCW’s investigations and advocacy and work with lawmakers including Waste Warrior Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), we’re getting closer to finding the smoking gun that establishes where COVID came from. Next week, the Biden Administration is slated to declassify additional intelligence on COVIDs origins, too.

As we continue to get to the bottom of what happened in Wuhan, we’re working to ensure no tax dollars ever end up paying for gain-of-function experiments or any of China’s animal labs ever again.

Stop cruel

Fauci needs to trade places with the animals that suffered from his demented experiments which accomplished nothing but inhumane suffering of animals that were paid for with the taxpayers dollars!

About Us

To stop taxpayer-funded animal experiments, we must first stop wasteful government spending. White Coat Waste Project (WCW) is a nonprofit, taxpayer watchdog uniting liberty-lovers and animal-lovers. Our message? Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay $20 billion+ for wasteful government animal experiments. We find, expose, and defund government waste through effective advocacy and public policy campaigns. WCW first exposed Dr. Fauci’s #BeagleGate scandal and U.S. taxpayer funding for the Wuhan lab. When the money stops, the killing stops!
