AIDS Healthcare Foundation strongly opposes the U.S. National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) decision to give more money to a group the U.S. Health and Human Services inspector general determined improperly used nearly $90,000 in previous grant funds and failed to obtain scientific documentation from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
AHF welcomes U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith’s inquiry into NIH’s reckless decision and agrees with his position that no more contracts should be awarded to EcoHealth Alliance, which has collaborated with the Chinese government in blocking any serious investigation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“The public is entitled to know how EcoHealth Alliance used public money from the NIH in its dealings with the Wuhan lab,” said Denys Nazarov, AHF Director of Global Policy and Communications.
