Wuhan whistleblower claims COVID-19 leaked from Chinese lab

Published



A whistleblower formerly of EcoHealth Alliance claims he saw the potential for a lab leak out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology as early as 2016.

Scientist Andrew Huff worked from 2015 to 2016 as the vice president of EcoHealth Alliance, the U.S. taxpayer-funded nonprofit group that collaborated with the Chinese laboratory on bat virus research ahead of the COVID-19 outbreak. The National Institutes of Health stopped funding the group’s branch in Wuhan for continued “non-compliance.”
