HHS cuts off funding for EcoHealth Alliance in light of COVID Committee evidence

  • The Department of Health and Human Services barred EcoHealth Alliance and its former president, Peter Daszak, from receiving federal funding for five years after they failed to report potentially dangerous gain-of-function research experiments to the government.
  • The House Oversight Committee’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic found that EcoHealth Alliance and Daszak repeatedly violated grant requirements and ignored oversight requests related to their research in China.
  • HHS determined that the debarment was necessary to protect the federal government’s business interests, as EcoHealth Alliance had received nearly $100 million in taxpayer funds since 2008.
  • House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer stated that the decision was 'justice for the American people' and emphasized the risks posed by EcoHealth Alliance's actions.
