“We have 15,000 coronavirus samples in freezers in Wuhan,” EcoHealth Alliance’s Daszak admits in newly uncovered emails

04/24/2024 / By Ava Grace

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has highlighted newly discovered emails where Peter Daszak of the EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) admits to his company having 15,000 coronavirus samples in the freezers of a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

The lawmaker for the Bluegrass State obtained the emails as part of his ongoing probe into the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), Modernity News reported. In one of the emails, Daszak told Dr. David Morens of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that EHA had 15,000 coronavirus samples in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China’s central Hubei province. These samples, Daszak added, could help scientists “do the full genomes” of more than 700 coronaviruses.

Daszak, a British zoologist and infectious disease expert, is the president of the New York-based EHA. Morens, meanwhile, was the top aide of Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the NIH. Fauci stepped down from the NIAID’s leadership in 2022.

Morens considers the EHA president his self-proclaimed “best friend.” Incidentally, Daszak is at the center of controversy related to his use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the WIV.

According to Paul, the emails were revealed by the whistleblower he earlier referred to. This whistleblower, the senator continued, provided evidence directly tying Fauci and multiple government agencies to the funding of research that led to the creation of SARS-CoV-2.

During hours of testimony, briefings and interviews, Fauci never mentioned that he was aware of hundreds of unknown variants of coronaviruses that existed in the Wuhan lab. Thus, the emails between Daszak and Morens revealed by the senator prove that Fauci deliberately concealed this during his congressional appearances.

The senator also mentioned another email showing Morens referencing Fauci’s attempts to provide “damage control” for EHA. The correspondences date from April 2020, when COVID-19 was in full effect worldwide. (Related: Congress seeks emails suggesting Fauci worked behind the scene to discredit COVID lab leak stories.)

Congress subpoenas Morens over emails

“We’ll communicate with you via Gmail from now on,” Daszak said in the first email, casually dropping that “we have 15,000 samples in freezers in Wuhan.” In a later email, Morens told the EHA president: “Tony [Fauci] is now fully aware, I think. [And he] is, I am told, involved in some sort of damage control.”

But according to Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), chairman of the House COVID-19 Select Subcommittee, Morens’ use of Gmail to “intentionally [subvert] federal transparency laws to shield discussions related to the origins of COVID-19 … raise serious concerns about federal health officials potentially covering up the pandemic’s origin.”

The NIH official himself previously admitted to the subcommittee in a closed interview that he would “delete anything I don’t want to see in the New York Times.” He added: “I always try to communicate over Gmail because my NIH email is FOIA’d constantly,” referencing transparency requests as part of the Freedom of Information Act.

Because of this, Wenstrup issued a subpoena to Morens demanding that the latter turn over all documents from his email account concerning COVID-19 and grant funding. He also ordered the NIH official to turn over all his communications with Fauci, former NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins and other top health officials. The Ohio congressman gave Morens gave the end of the month as a deadline for him to submit all the correspondences demanded.
