FDA Commissioner Dr. Makary: The NIH “Brewed Up a Virus that K*lled 20 Million People”

President Trump’s new FDA commissioner Marty Makary just confirmed that the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic was created in a Wuhan lab, using your tax dollars!

Speaking to Connell McShane of News Nation, Makary directly accused the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of funding the Wuhan lab that created the COVID-19 virus, which killed millions of people globally.

Watch what he had to say here for yourself:

Full transcript:

Dr. Makary: The way it used to be. We’re planning to change our health agencies for a generation or longer. Look at the NIH. When J. Bhattacharya came in there, it was a mess. Fourteen percent of the grants were descriptive studies on health equity.

And the NIH had just funded a lab that brewed up a virus that killed 20 million people worldwide. So they’re getting back to studying root causes, a cure for cancer, debilitating neurodegenerative diseases, and they’re going to do good work.

Connell McShane: Right, but you have to do it with fewer people. Is that a challenge with the cuts, or is that not really what it’s made out to be either?

Dr. Makary: The FDA is strong, and it’s going to continue to be strong. The cuts were consolidations. There were no layoffs to scientific reviewers or inspectors at the FDA.

There was consolidation of the twelve travel offices at the FDA. And so we’re going to institute teamwork and break up the fiefdom culture within the agency. It’s an interesting conversation.

Last year, the NIH admitted to using U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Grok noted:

The WIV conducted gain-of-function (GOF) research on coronaviruses, funded in part by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) through EcoHealth Alliance. This research involved modifying coronaviruses to study their potential to infect humans. A Republican-led House committee report (2024) highlighted this as a risk factor for a potential lab accident.

After President Trump took office, he massively cut funding to the NIH.

He also signed an executive order in May that bans funding gain-of-function research.

Fauci, the CDC, and the WHO have repeatedly slammed the lab leak hypothesis as a mere conspiracy theory.

Instead, the official narrative claims that the virus passed from animals to humans.

However, more and more evidence seems to prove that this was all a cover-up.

And now, we have the FDA Commissioner flat-out saying it.

This confirms what many feared. Taxpayer money funded a lab tied to global devastation. The NIH must be investigated fully. Every official involved must face justice. The cover-up cannot hold forever.

Investigate the NIH and prosecute Anthony Fauci!

It’s time.
