JUST IN: More than 900 pages of materials related to U.S.-funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were released following a FOIA lawsuit by The Intercept.

According to Richard Ebright, a molecular biologist at Rutgers University:

"The materials confirm the grants supported the construction--in Wuhan--of novel chimeric SARS-related coronaviruses that combined a spike gene from one coronavirus with genetic information from another coronavirus, and confirmed the resulting viruses could infect human cells.

The documents make it clear that assertions by the NIH Director, Francis Collins, and the NIAID Director, Anthony Fauci, that the NIH did not support gain-of-function research or potential pandemic pathogen enhancement at WIV are untruthful."
