 Two top scientists in virology who initially said they suspected the COVID virus was created in a lab, and who later suddenly did an about-face to say no, it couldn’t have been, “suddenly” were the recipients of multimillion dollar NIAID grants, after they made their new opinions public.

In 2020, Dr. Kristian Andersen of the Scripps Institute and Dr. Robert Garry of Tulane University initially told Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) they thought the lab leak concerns were legitimate. But they soon backpedalled and the live market theory became predominant.

Interestingly, it’s now been made public that after they changed their minds, from 2020 to 2022, Anderson and Garry suddenly had NIAID grants totalling $25.2 million at their fingertips.

In an interview with the Washington Examiner, Justin Goodman, vice president of advocacy and public policy at the White Coat Waste Project, said, “"Since changing their tune and publicly dismissing a potential lab leak following secretive conversations with Anthony Fauci, Garry and Andersen have received tens of millions in new taxpayer funds from the NIAID … for wasteful, deadly, and dangerous virus experiments on primates and other animals."

"Given all of the waste, fraud and abuse we’ve exposed at NIAID since early 2020, it wouldn’t be surprising if gain-of-function’s 'funding father' Anthony Fauci was rewarding his fellow animal experimenters for their compliance and complicity in covering up what really happened at the Wuhan lab."
