A former vice president for the EcoHealth Alliance, a
major funder of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claims that his organization "developed" SARS-CoV-2 through gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous.
"The process of developing SARS-COV2 was also described in detail in the proposal submitted to, and ultimately funded by, the National Institutes of Health (HHS NIH), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), by EcoHealth Alliance with the WIV and [University of North Carolina] listed as collaborators," according to the sworn declaration of Andrew Huff, who is represented by the attorney Thomas Renz.
The statement is included in a
much larger packet dated Sept. 12 posted by Renz, who represents
clients challenging COVID-19 mandates, apparently directed to Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson, whose name is in the file name. The packet has irregular punctuation and capitalization throughout.
"Anthony Fauci funded the creation of SARS-COV2 and lied to Congress about funding Gain-of-Function work," Renz wrote in the summary – a
claim also recently made by former CDC Director Robert Redfield. "Anthony Fauci and others coordinated to cover-up the funding of the Gain-of-Function work that resulted in SARS-COV2."

During his tenure there, he presented research at high-level government meetings and to executives in the private sector. While employed with Sandia National Laboratories, Dr. Huff was given Department of Energy “Q” clearance ,which is equivalent to a Department of Defense “Top Secret” Clearance with a Special Access Programs designation. He analyzed national security problems, served as a subject matter expert in public health and food protection, and worked on projects related to pandemic preparedness, mitigation, and response.
