An evidence-led orientation

U.S. funds supported bat-coronavirus research in Wuhan

This is not a conspiracy. It is documented fact.

We want to know what happened, understand what the record establishes, and explain why questions still remain.

EstablishedThe pandemic’s human cost was immense

Deaths, disability, interrupted care, school disruption, business loss and social isolation affected nearly every community. The economic shock also reached every household through lost income, disrupted supply, extraordinary public spending and severe inflation.

UnresolvedThe precise origin remains unsettled

Coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology is documented. Despite that clear record, no public evidence has conclusively established a research-related accident, and natural spillover remains a contested hypothesis rather than a resolved fact.

DocumentedOversight questions are legitimate

Federal funding, foreign subawards, biosafety, records practices, policy evidence and conflicting statements can be examined in primary records. People have a right to know what research their money funds, how it is supervised and how it could harm them.

Why all of this matters

A reliable public account should give families and communities answers and closure, restore trust where it is deserved, and expose failures and resolve unanswered problems so people can trust the medical system going forward. It should also put our country in a stronger position to prevent another global pandemic caused by failures we had the ability to correct.

And if there was malicious intent, we deserve to know.

The impact, in the record

The toll was medical, educational, social and economic. These figures use official records and distinguish confirmed events from estimates.

Deaths and recorded illness

By February 2025, WHO had recorded about 777 million confirmed cases and 7.09 million deaths worldwide. CDC’s archived tracker counted 1,188,991 U.S. deaths by April 2024. Confirmed cases understate total infections because many were never tested or reported. WHO data · CDC data

Long-term illness

CDC’s 2022 national survey found 6.9% of U.S. adults had ever experienced Long COVID and 3.4% had it at the time of interview—millions living with symptoms lasting at least three months. CDC Long COVID report

Documented vaccine injuries

No authoritative source provides one total of people injured by vaccination. CDC has confirmed rare serious risks including myocarditis or pericarditis and anaphylaxis; anaphylaxis occurred at roughly 5 cases per million doses. The Janssen vaccine was linked to thrombosis with thrombocytopenia at about 4 cases per million doses. Reports alone do not establish causation. CDC safety review

Schools and isolation

School closures affected more than 1.6 billion learners globally. In the United States, post-pandemic NAEP results showed unprecedented declines of 7 points in math and 5 in reading among nine-year-olds, alongside social and emotional disruption that did not end when classrooms reopened.

Businesses and livelihoods

There is no definitive national count of businesses permanently lost. Federal Reserve reporting found the establishment closure rate jumped to 9% in the second quarter of 2020, versus roughly 5% in 2019; 80% of surveyed small firms reported lower revenue, and restaurant permanent exits were about 50% above historical rates.

Prices, supply and public spending

Census found 38.8% of small businesses reported domestic supplier delays in one July 2021 survey week. Federal Reserve research links the inflation outbreak to a mix of disrupted supply, shifted demand and unusually large fiscal support; no single factor explains the full rise in prices that reached every household.

Counts use the reporting periods identified by each source. Later revisions, different definitions and incomplete reporting mean these figures should not be combined into a single total.

The Crisis of Trust

Speech, authority and accountability
  • Platforms removed posts, issued strikes and terminated channels under policies tied to official public-health guidance.
  • This muted communication between networks of doctors and the public: dissenting professionals could lose reach while official claims retained full distribution, even when claims on both sides remained contested or were later revised.
  • The system failed to reliably separate evidence-based criticism that could have helped policy from dangerous falsehoods.
  • Officials connected to the funding, oversight and public response surrounding the events under investigation still owe the public answers.

The short chronology

How the questions accumulated

Research and funding

NIAID funds EcoHealth Alliance work studying bat coronaviruses, including a Wuhan subaward.

Emergency and uncertainty

Officials debate origin signals while governments adopt unprecedented mitigation measures.

Policy and vaccination

Guidance evolves; vaccines reduce severe outcomes while real adverse effects and policy disputes emerge.

Documents and testimony

Congress examines funding, origins, records practices and the scientific basis for major policies.

The Fifth Amendment

Subpoenaed before the Senate, Fauci declines more than 100 questions on advice of counsel.
