Press Release

Date: Jan. 11, 2022
Location: Washington, DC

U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. today questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci at a hearing about a recent report showing he provided dishonest testimony under oath about funding viral gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The report, sent to the Department of Defense (DOD) Inspector General, stated EcoHealth Alliance approached the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 2018 seeking funding to conduct gain of function research on bat borne coronaviruses. The proposal, named Project Defuse, was rejected by DARPA because the project didn't address the research's potential to violate the gain-of-function moratorium. The report also states that the same research rejected by DARPA for gain of function potential was carried by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under Dr. Fauci's leadership. In turn, research took place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology with the same personnel and virus variants proposed for experimentation under Project Defuse.
