On Wednesday, Dr. Richard Ebright, Rutgers University microbiologist, testified before the U.S. Senate that Dr. Anthony Fauci and other top public health officials lied about gain-of-function (GoF) research experiments conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China. Ebright claims that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other U.S. federal agencies funded research that fit the definition of GoF at WIV without proper oversight. He said, “The statements made on repeated occasions to the public, to the press and to policymakers by the NIAID director, Dr. Fauci, have been untruthful.”
