‘Explosive’ document exposes secret deal between Wuhan, Fauci-funded US labs to destroy materials

The NIAID-funded Texas lab's assurance that it would destroy 'secret files' and 'materials' at the request of the Wuhan Institute of Virology could obstruct investigations into the COVID-19 outbreak.

A recently published document uncovers an “explosive” agreement by which the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) can ask its partner Texas lab, funded by Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, to destroy “secret files, materials and equipment.”

It goes on to specify that each “party is entitled to ask the other to destroy and/or return the secret files, materials and equipment without any backups.”

“The clause is quite frankly explosive,” (said whistleblower attorney) Reuben Guttman. “Any time I see a public entity, I would be very concerned about destroying records,” he told USRTK.

Only the Texas attorney general can decide what public records would be exempt from disclosure, said Kelley Shannon, executive director of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas. It is also illegal to destroy records requested under the Texas Public Information Act, noted USRTK.

“You can’t just willy-nilly say, ‘well, you know, the Chinese can tell us when to destroy a document.’ It doesn’t work like that,” Guttman said. “There has to be a whole protocol.”

U.S. Right to Know said it “obtained the WIV-UTMB memorandum of understanding through the Texas Public Information Act as part of an investigation into risky viral research funded through taxpayer dollars.”
