[[link removed]] .Iβm ecstatic, Taxpayer!
Our campaign to defund the Wuhan Animal Lab reached its fundraising goal in the
wee hours of last night. Now we have the critical resources we need to close the
βWuhan loopholeβ... and close it tight!
PROGRESS : Weβve already rallied 18 powerful Members of Congress to co-sponsor the AFAR
Act, which would prohibit tax dollars from funding animal experiments in China.
And now, we can afford to sustain our fight. We wonβt stop until we pass this bill into law so that you will never again be
forced to pay the salaries of Chinaβs worst animal abusers.
Thanks for all you do, Taxpayer.
Mackie Burr
Director of Digital and Grassroots Development
White Coat Waste Project
P.S. Weβre proud to be the VERY FIRST ORGANIZATION to expose U.S. taxpayer funding
to the Wuhan lab. Weβre also proud to be the first (and only) group to expose Dr. Fauciβs other
international animal testing scandal: #BeagleGate. Iβve included an awesome article below by the Epoch Times breaking down our
very successful (and controversial) #BeagleGate campaign to save beagles from
Fauciβs wasteful government spending. Please give it a read!

How a Watchdog Group Exposed the Role of Anthony Fauci in Funding Abusive Animal
Experiments
By CELIA FARBER
Americans have been horrified to learn about sadistic experiments on dogs funded
by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), directed
by Dr. Anthony Fauci.
A group called the White Coat Waste Project
[[link removed]] , which is devoted to exposing and ending wasteful government spending on
animal experimentation, reported that a lab in Tunisia conducted NIAID-funded
experiments in which beagles were eaten alive by sandflies.
[[link removed]] 6 Labs, 1 Scandal
[[link removed]] : Click the image above to read how we exposed each investigation in our
comprehensive timeline.
The hashtags #FireFauci and #FauciLiedDogsDied , dominated Twitter, and 24 lawmakers from both parties issued a letter calling
for an immediate investigation.
As thousands marked their dogs βsafe from Anthony Fauciβ on social media, it
seems that Fauci, known to be adroit in handling the press, has a public
relations disaster on his hands. In addition, this publicity has shone a
spotlight on the government-funded abuse of animals.

The Epoch Timesβ Celia Farber spoke with Justin Goodman, vice president of White
Coat Waste Project, on Oct. 25 about the organizationβs role in exposing the
scandal in Tunisia and also the funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan,
China.
The press office of NIAID, a part of the National Institutes of Health, didnβt
immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Epoch Times : How long has White Coat Waste Project existed?
Justin Goodman : Our campaigns were launched in 2016. White Coat Waste was founded by our
president, Anthony Bellotti, who was a Republican strategist who had worked on
other defund campaigns and actually worked in an animal laboratory in his past,
and was so shocked and horrified by what he saw that he made the commitment to
himself to start an organization to end that problem. In 2013, he started WCWP,
and in 2016, we launched our first campaigns.
[[link removed]] EXPERIMENT #1: Bethesda, MD, 2016
[[link removed]] WCW reveals how NIAID wasted $18,430,917 to buy beagle puppies and strap
infected sand flies onto their bare skin at Fauciβs in-house lab.
The Epoch Times : Whatβs the latest development?
Mr. Goodman : Today, #FauciLiedDogsDied was the No. 1 trending hashtag on Twitter, so the
campaign definitely caught fire again today, and members of Congress on both
sides of the aisle have been tweeting about it. Gov. Ron DeSantis gave a speech
about Fauciβs abuse of dogs earlier today. Itβs really been remarkable how this
has really captured the hearts and minds of people across the country, of all
political persuasions.
The Epoch Times : To those who ask, βIs it fair to tie this to Anthony Fauci himself as an
individual?β what do you say?
Mr. Goodman : Absolutely. If heβs going to get credit for any good that he does, he also
has to accept blame for the evil he does, and thatβs whatβs happening with these
dog experiments. Heβs funded a pattern of puppy abuse with our tax dollars.
[[link removed]] EXPERIMENT #2: University of Georgia, July 2021
[[link removed]] WCW exposes how NIAID wasted $424,455 on an experiment in which healthy beagles
are given an experimental drug, then intentionally bitten by flies.
The Epoch Times : He green lights them? NIH? NIAID?
Mr. Goodman : All of these experiments are conducted under NIAID. He is certainly
responsible for them, just like heβs responsible for funding the lab in Wuhan,
whether he personally approved that or not.
The Epoch Times : What was your role in the Wuhan lab funding story breaking open?
Mr. Goodman : As a taxpayer watchdog group, weβre committed to finding, exposing, and
defundingβwe like to use the acronym FED for thatβtaxpayer-funded animal
experiments that waste about $20 billion each year. And in 2019, we started
investigating animal experimentation funded by the NIH in foreign countries.
And when the pandemicβwell, prior to the pandemicβwhen word started to circulate
that the lab in Wuhan was potentially tied to the virus, we identified that the
NIH had sent a grant of $600,000 to that laboratory, specifically for
experiments with coronaviruses.
So we were the first organization to connect the NIH to the lab in Wuhan that is
now at the center of speculation that it may have caused the pandemic with
gain-of-function experiments.
[[link removed]] EXPERIMENT #3: Tunisia, August 2021
[[link removed]] WCW exposes how Dr. Fauciβs NIH department shipped part of a $375,800 grant to
a lab in Tunisia to drug beagles and lock them in cages filled with hundreds of
infected sand flies. The experimenters starved the flies so they were hungry;
then βthe sand flies were then allowed to feed on the sedated dogs.β
The Epoch Times : The sadistic nature of these experiments on puppiesβwhat do you think
personally, do they enjoy inflicting pain, or do they make some rationale for
the βscienceβ of this?
Mr. Goodman : I just think that they got way too much money, and thereβs a stunning lack of
accountability and transparency how that money is being spent, so you have
people who make careers torturing dogs, and itβs continued because Anthony Fauci
has let it. The buck stops with him.
The Epoch Times : Will Fauci skate on this and just make it go away?
Mr. Goodman : I think this is the first time we have bipartisan anger directed at NIAID and
Anthony Fauci, in this case for experimenting on dogs and abusing them with our
tax dollars. We did polling last month that showed 70 percent of Democrats and
over 60 percent of Republicans opposed these experiments and want them defunded.
And we have bipartisan members of Congress from across the spectrum who are
demanding reforms as well. And when you look at other situations where thereβs
been controversy that heβs at the center of, itβs been pretty partisan. So the
difference now is that the criticism is coming from both sides of the aisle.

The Epoch Times : How did you get all this? FOIA [Freedom of Information Act]?
Mr. Goodman : The most recent experiments we exposed that involved 6- to 8-month-old
puppies having their vocal cords cut out, being debarked so they couldnβt make
noise in the laboratory, and then being force-fed experimental drugs at a cost
of $1.68 million dollars to taxpayers, we exposed that using the FOIA. We
obtained those documents using FOIA.
The Epoch Times : When did those start to come back to you?
Mr. Goodman : We requested the documents in August 2021; we got them pretty quickly. Often,
we have to sue the NIH. In this case, we didnβt have to sue them. We got the
documents in September.
The Epoch Times : What were you asking for?
Mr. Goodman : We identified some suspect contracts on government-spending websites. And we
asked for basically all of the protocols and documentation for any experiments
on dogs connected with those contracts.
[[link removed]] EXPERIMENT #4: October 2021
[[link removed]] WCW exposes how NIAID wasted $1.68 million taxpayer dollars to poison and
debark dogs. In the tests, 44 beagle puppies between 6 and 8 months old were
repeatedly injected with (or force-fed) an experimental drug for weeks, before
being killed and dissected.
The Epoch Times : The heartbreaking photos of the dogs in mesh trapsβIβve seen that that took
place in Georgia in the United States, and also Iβve seen Tunisia.
Mr. Goodman : Thereβs been a little confusion about that. Weβve exposed four different Fauci-funded dog experiments
[[link removed]] . That experiment was funded by NIAID, but it took place in Tunisia.
And that photo was from a paper that was published by NIAID-funded experimenters
in Tunisia who took healthy puppies, sedated them, starved sandflies, and then
locked the puppiesβ heads in mesh cages and released the starving flies to
basically bite the dogs and essentially eat them alive.
The Epoch Times : That photograph was published in a scientific journal?
Mr. Goodman : Yes.
The Epoch Times : It seems to me that photograph itself had a huge impact. Itβs crushing.
Mr. Goodman : It puts a face to the horrible abuses that are being funded by our tax
dollars by Anthony Fauciβs division at the NIH. We can describe to you all day
long what goes on in these laboratories, but itβs different to see two puppies
with their heads locked in cages where theyβre being eaten alive by flies. I
mean, thatβs game-changing.
So some of our investigations involve whistleblowers giving us photographs, some
of our investigations involve videos and photos we get through FOIA. And
sometimes in a case like this, we get lucky and the experimenters themselves
publish the worst of the worst.
The Epoch Times : What has it been like for you these past few days?
Mr. Goodman : Iβve been doing this work for 16 years and have never experienced a response
as overwhelming as this from the public, from the media, or from Congress. I
think this is going to be a pivotal moment in the history of the effort to end
animal experimentation, and it certainly feels like that to me.
Since this article was published, WCW has exposed even more wasteful, torturous
experiments funded by Dr. Anthony Fauci and the NIH. Learn more:
[[link removed]] EXPERIMENT #5: November 2021, Kansas State University
[[link removed]] WCW unearthed a fifth beagle experiment, greenlit by Dr. Fauciβs NIAID. Beagle
puppies are injected with a lab-made βmutantβ variant of a tick-transmitted
bacteria and bitten by up to 250 ticks that feast on their blood for up to a
week. After 8 weeks of testing, the puppies are killed.
[[link removed]] EXPERIMENT #6: November 2021
[[link removed]] WCW found a sixth wasteful experiment funded by Dr. Fauci. 10 beagles were
intentionally infected with 200 heartworm larvae. After the worms fed on the
dogsβ hearts and lungs for six full months, the worms were savedβ¦but the dogs
were killed.
