Brotschol Calls For Investigation Into Wuhan Lab Funding Demands Full Audit of NIH Expenditures

Lake Hiawatha, NJ/May 27, 2021 – Today, Hillery Brotschol, Republican Congressional candidate for New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District called for a full investigation into any funding the Chinese Wuhan lab where COVID – 19 originated may have received from the National Institute of Health (NIH) or any American government entity.  She also called for a full audit of all expenditures that the National Institute of Health has made in the past five years.  Brotschol is calling for this in light of the admission that  Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases with NIH made that some funding from a subcontract went to the Wuhan lab.  Dr. Fauci made this admission after denying at a Senate hearing that any NIH money went to the Wuhan lab.  Brotschol said Dr. Fauci’s admission raises the question of where other NIH funding has gone.

“The United States has lost half a million people and experienced crippling economic consequences due to COVID – 19 that originated from this Wuhan lab and now to finally learn some United States money funded this lab is beyond belief,” said Hillery Brotschol.  “And for Dr. Fauci to lie before the Senate about this and only backtrack after fact-checked by the media raises other questions.  Where else has NIH money gone?  Has any been sent to programs in Russia? In North Korea?  In Iran?  We must have accountability.”
