Dr. Peter Hotez, one of mainstream media’s favorite COVID experts and vaccine shills, appears to be involved in a web of funding and research that’s linked to the Chinese Communist Party and the Wuhan Institute of Virology’s COVID-19 gain of function research.
Independent journalist KanekoaTheGreat walks through the various grants Hotez has ties to and how they could have led to the development of COVID-19.

#5 Dr. Jiang Shibo, a member of China's Thousand Talents Plan, also collaborated with PLA scientists on numerous scientific papers. A 2020 FBI report suggests that such plans “usually involve undisclosed and illegal transfers of information, technology, or intellectual property.” pic.twitter.com/u4KP4F0JTj

#13 Before migrating to the U.S. and receiving funding from Dr. Fauci and Dr. Hotez, Dr. Du Lanying co-published research on SARS-coronaviruses with Dr. Jiang Shibo and Dr. Zhou Yusen for the People's Liberation Army's Academy of Military Medical Sciences. pic.twitter.com/PR7x4INXVs

#15 This research, funded by Dr. Fauci and Dr. Hotez, was conducted with Chinese military scientists at the PLA's AMMS, which was added to the U.S. government’s Foreign Entity Blacklist in 2021 due to its use of “biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end uses.” pic.twitter.com/NQ7O9JqM7h

#17 Dr. Hotez's involvement in this complex situation becomes evident when examining his subcontracted funding for these scientists connected to the People's Liberation Army and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, who artificially inserted furin cleavage sites into coronaviruses. pic.twitter.com/z3yvc8AfhQ

#19 A 2015 study published by Dr. Shibo, Dr. Lanying, Dr. Zhengli, and Dr. Ralph Baric, an American scientist considered a pioneer in gain-of-function research, demonstrates the insertion of a furin cleavage site in the S1/S2 junction astonishingly similar to the COVID-19 virus. pic.twitter.com/zPr4Nu56Ia

#21 In 2022, Dr. Hotez criticized congressional hearings on the origins of COVID-19, stating that they are “inviting fringe elements to testify and promote outlandish conspiracy theories,” even warning that investigations will “undermine the fabric of science in America.” pic.twitter.com/000u2TM5fB

#23 This evidence demands a thorough investigation to uncover the truth about the origins of the COVID-19 virus. Considering scientists are still engaged in controversial gain-of-function research, this truth holds profound implications for all people across the globe. pic.twitter.com/EBxHVTrBwp
