00:00:00 - 00:15:00

The video discusses the dangers of funding research into bat viruses, and how this has led to taxpayer money being wasted on projects that have not had any real impact. It points out that the solution to this problem is to improve oversight of government spending, as well as to put an end to corruption.

• 00:00:00 Peter Dashik and Eco Health Alliance were awarded a multimillion-dollar contract from the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIH) in 2014 to study the emergence of coronavirus infections of bat origin. However, the project may have been conducted illegally, as Federal funding for "gain of function" research on animal viruses was banned at the time. Now, Eco Health and Dashik are being rewarded with more taxpayer money for the same purpose. This raises suspicion that the organization is guilty of wrongdoing.
• 00:05:00 The video discusses a letter that Peter Dajik, the founder of EcoHealth, wrote to the NIH in June of 2017, a year and a half after he published a letter in the Lancet strongly condemning conspiracy theories that the virus does not have a natural origin. Dajik claims that this research is over 650,000 dollars in NIH funding and that its purpose is to understand the spillover of bat coronaviruses to humans.
• 00:10:00 According to the video, federal research into the cause of the bat virus has been hampered by a lack of funds, with ecohealth receiving tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money over the last decade. The company has been accused of failing to report results of possible gain of function research immediately, and of not filing required reports with the NIH. It is alleged that this lack of transparency is motivated by personal enrichment, and that Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, has done well for himself, his net worth having nearly doubled since 2019.
