Perhaps we should reassure the Wuhan Institute of Virology that we would be happy to continue sending them our taxpayers' money. As soon as we finish deducting the funds spent on finding a vaccine for the Covid-19 they produced and released on the world, plus the amounts spent on hospital facilities for the millions in this country who got infected. Plus, hmm, 400,000-plus people in the U.S. who died from the virus, what should we say each life is worth?
Yes, we'll send our taxpayers' money to them as soon as the above amounts (plus whatever else we think of) are paid off. We'll even draft them a memo to recommend at least one place they can put it.
Wuhan Lab Eligible to Receive US Taxpayer Funding Through 2024, NIH Confirms
BY THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION
February 18, 2021 Updated: February 18, 2021
The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is authorized to receive taxpayer funding for animal research until January 2024, the National Institute of Health told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
The WIV is at the center of widespread speculation that COVID-19 could have entered the human population in China due to an accidental lab leak. Researchers at the lab were studying bat-based coronaviruses prior to the outbreak, a project partially backed by $600,000 in U.S. taxpayer funds routed to the lab through the nonprofit group EcoHealth Alliance.
The president of EcoHealth Alliance, Peter Daszak, was the sole U.S. member of the World Health Organization (WHO) delegation that investigated the origins of the pandemic on the ground in China in January and February. While the WHO delegation has yet to release a report on their findings, Daszak said the White House should blindly accept their conclusion that it’s highly unlikely the virus could have leaked from the WIV.
Daszak also said American intelligence, which indicates researchers at the WIV became infected with COVID-like symptoms before the first known cases in December 2019, shouldn’t be trusted.
EcoHealth Alliance’s work researching bat-based coronaviruses in China was funded by a $3.7 million grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in 2014, according to The Wall Street Journal.
They should be sending US money!! They leaked the Wuhan virus, didn't give the world any warning, and then made a fortune selling us millions of masks to protect (or not) from the virus they unleashed on the world.
We have the perfect ambassador in Peter Daszak to send these statements to them. We might also include a request for them to find "temporary" housing for him just in case there's any problem with his return passport. Surely that would be cleared up quickly, were it to occur. Just as quickly as the financial items mentioned in the OP, are taken care of.

… The grant was terminated by the National Institutes of Health in April amid criticism over EcoHealth Alliance’s relationship with the WIV. The NIH said in a letter the nonprofit’s work in China did not align with “program goals and agency priorities.”
The NIH told EcoHealth Alliance in July it would restore the grant if it met certain conditions, one of which was to arrange for an independent team to investigate the WIV to determine if it had possession of the SARS-COV-2 virus prior to the first known cases in December 2019.
Oh – now I get why China allowed for WHO inspectors a couple of months ago. They needed it as a condition in order to restore US funding since the Trump Admin halted this money in April post COVID.
Regardless of COVID or non-COVID, is there any reason why the American people should be funding a lab in Wuhan, or any other city in any country not named the United States of America?

Think about it.
If it wasn’t for COVID-19, Trump would have won the election and Biden is still in his pajamas forgetting his name.
Biden owes Wuhan lab for helping him win the election.
The Harris, biden Presidential duo know who butters their bread and its not American Citizens.
