WASHINGTON, D.C. (KELO.com) — Iowa senator Joni Ernst is fighting against funding that goes to China.
Ernst introduced legislation Friday that would prohibit federal funding to EcoHealth Alliance, Inc., which conferred the taxpayer funds to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
EcoHealth provided $600,000 in the form of NIH subgrants to the Wuhan lab between 2014 and 2019 to study bat-based coronaviruses.
It is believed that COVID-19 may have originated in the Wuhan lab.
