Taxpayer,
Did taxpayer-funded animal experiments cause COVID-19?
It’s increasingly plausible… and that’s why thousands of you signed our taxpayer
petition demanding President Biden and Congress take action to ensure it doesn’t
happen again.
Well Taxpayer, we immediately got to work delivering your
signatures to Capitol Hill.
And now…🥁🥁🥁
You petitioned. The U.S. Senate listened: Following your relentless advocacy and generous donations to WCW Project, the
Senate has unanimously voted to ban the government from paying China’s white
coats to conduct dangerous gain-of-function experiments that hurt animals and
Americans.

Our blog (pasted below) explains why this is great progress for lab animals and
public health – please give it a read.
And thank you, Taxpayer, for your continued support – our
work to clean up government waste and save lives would not be possible without
you.
Because taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay $20 billion+ for wasteful
government animal experiments (especially ones that cause pandemics!)
Justin Goodman
Sr. Vice President
White Coat Waste Project
P.S. Taxpayer, take the next step: We have the Senate’s vote, but we need your help convincing the House of
Representatives to follow suit.
Please petition your Representative to vote YES to ending wasteful,
taxpayer-funded gain-of-function animal experiments in China.

PROGRESS: SENATE DEFUNDS GAIN-OF-FUNCTION EXPERIMENTS IN CHINA
[[link removed]]
It’s almost exactly two years since we first exposed
[[link removed]] how U.S. taxpayers were unwittingly footing the bill for dangerous coronavirus
experiments on animals at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
Since then, White Coat Waste Project (WCW) and its supporters have been
relentlessly urging lawmakers to take action, and we’re getting results.
This Wednesday, the Senate unanimously voted in favor of an amendment by Senator
Rand Paul (R-KY), banning taxpayer funds from being used for dangerous
gain-of-function experiments in China.

Gain-of-function (GOF) experiments are designed to make viruses more
transmissible and more dangerous. Many experts believe that an accidental leak
related to taxpayer-funded gain-of-function coronavirus experiments on mice at the Wuhan
Animal Lab
[[link removed]] may be responsible for the years-long Covid pandemic that swept the world.
We’re opposed to taxpayer funding for this risky research
[[link removed]] — and so are a majority of Americans, with 59% of Republicans and 60% of
Democrats wanting to defund it.
Thankfully, elected officials from both parties are hearing their constituents
loud and clear and taking steps to do just that.
If reading the news about Senator Paul’s amendment gives you a feeling of déjà
vu…you’re not alone. Last year
[[link removed]] , Sen. Paul offered an amendment to ban gain-of-function research in China,
which was also unanimously approved by the Senate.
The latest vote is part of ongoing negotiations to finalize this bill and get it
to the President’s desk.
Last year, in its coverage of Senator Paul’s amendment, The Hill wrote
[[link removed]] :
“Fauci and Paul clashed over the role of a virology lab in Wuhan, China, in the
origins of COVID-19. With the help from the White Coat Waste Project, the first
to point out that tax funds were being sent to the Wuhan Institute, Paul was
able to press Fauci on the theory.”

We’ve led the charge to defund risky research, helping secure a critical amendment
[[link removed]] in a military spending bill that prevents the Department of Defense from
funding experiments performed by shady nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) in
China at places like the Wuhan Animal Lab.
[[link removed]]
The pandemic made it clear to everyone just how dangerous these experiments can
be…so why tempt fate?
U.S. taxpayers should not be forced to fund dangerous and cruel gain-of-function
animal experiments, especially in China where there’s no accountability and
transparency.
TAKE THE NEXT STEP: Please sign our petition to demand the House and Representatives follow the
Senate’s footsteps and vote to ban taxpayer funding for gain-of-function animal
experiments in China!

[[link removed]] To stop taxpayer-funded animal tests, we must first stop the $20 billion+ in
wasteful government spending.
We find, expose, and de-fund wasteful government spending on animal experiments.
To change public policy, we unite liberty lovers and animal lovers with
hard-hitting investigations and public policy campaigns.
