Kremlin cat lab, Monkey Island & drugged beagles… Inside cruel US-funded labs that Trump wants to axe after Covid ‘leak’

In the wake of the Covid epidemic, Donald Trump plans to cut “stupid spending” on inhumane laboratory testing, saving millions of dollars.

The US government has given money to Chinese military-affiliated facilities, a Kremlin-run lab, and Monkey Island, where 3,000 monkeys are raised for Covid and other virus trials.

$3.6 million of government funds were used in 2022 and 2023 for a project that involved forcing monkeys to bet and getting them addicted to cocaine.

An additional $5.2 million was distributed to inject cocaine into beagle puppies.

Furthermore, a company under investigation for the origins of COVID has been awarded millions by the US government for conducting dangerous virus tests, including in a lab in Wuhan, China.

However, the incoming Trump administration has hinted at a crackdown on experiment funding.

Funding for initiatives that do not help Americans “needs to end next year,” according to Vivek Ramaswamy, who will lead the Department of Government Efficiency with Elon Musk.

“We’re putting it on the chopping block if it doesn’t advance the interests of American citizens,” he stated.

“Remarkably, money continues to flow out of the door for some initiatives whose congressional authorization has *already expired*.

“That needs to endnextyear.”

The White Coat Waste Project’s president and founder, Anthony Bellotti, expressed his excitement that Vivek and Elon are focusing on wasteful spending.

He went on to say: “The vast majority of taxpayers… are against unnecessary, risky, and inhumane animal experiments both domestically and overseas, and they shouldn’t have to pay for them.

“DOGE can save billions of tax dollars and millions of animals by cutting the federal animal testing.”

White Coat Waste revealed in 2022 how the US government provided $770,000 for gruesome cat experiments at the Pavlov Institute, which is run by the Kremlin.

Before being killed, dozens of cats had their brains destroyed, electrodes placed in their spines, and made to walk on treadmills.

For the first time, a complete ban on Russian animal laboratories was implemented last year when the US government decided to stop funding them altogether.

‘MONKEY ISLAND’

White Coat Waste investigators claim that around 500 monkeys are removed from their home on Morgan Island, sometimes known as “Monkey Island,” on US property close to South Carolina and sent to US labs for research.

According to them, the monkeys are subjected to “most dangerous and deadly diseases known to man” and undergo “extraordinarily painful experiments.”

Additionally, the National Institutes of Health, a US government organization, owns the monkeys on Morgan Island, and millions of public dollars have been used to pay for lab tests involving the animals.

White Coat Waste discovered that 12 monkeys were given injections of the lethal Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus in a government-funded experiment.

Even the monkeys who survived the initial infection experienced fever, lethargy, and hemorrhages before to their death.

In other horrifying trials, the monkeys were also injected with the Lassa, Nipah, and Ebola viruses.

In experiments where monkeys’ skulls are smashed open and toxins like horseradish are poured into their brains, the government spent almost $3.6 million.

According to the White Coat Waste probe, they were compelled to gamble for water and had a cocaine addiction.

In other instances, government-funded research involved injecting cocaine into six-month-old beagle puppies.

The puppies received many doses of cocaine and a “experimental compound” using a specialized drug-injecting jacket to observe the interactions between the two substances.

The hounds were either killed or “recycled”—that is, sent out to be employed in other experiments—at the conclusion of the months-long ordeal.

‘WASTEFUL’ SPENDING

The US government cut off financing to the group at the center of the controversy over the origins of COVID-19 in May.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, EcoHealth Alliance, a non-profit organization based in New York, has faced criticism for its bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Concerns have been raised over whether Covid may have resulted from US government-funded research at the lab.

Trump has a “excellent track record” of reducing “wasteful” expenditure, according to White Coat Waste’s vice president, Justin Goodman.

In April 2020, he canceled a grant to the National Institutes of Health that was supporting the Wuhan Institute of Virology and EcoHealth Alliance.

The majority of EcoHealth Alliance’s funding, which was approximately $14 million in 2022, comes from grants from US organizations, such as the National Institutes of Health.

Mr. Goodman told The Sun: “The CCP-run Wuhan animal lab probably caused COVID, killed 20 million people, and cost trillions of dollars due to wasteful government spending.”

“Elon and Vivek have both denounced this and it is the worst kind of foolish spending.

“The Trump administration can, should, and I anticipate will quickly stop subsidizing China’s unaccountable animal labs.

Nobody desires a second Wuhan. It is obvious that cutting government spending on animal laboratories in China and other hostile countries will save lives, money, and animals.

“It’s one of the easiest decisions the new administration can make.”

EcoHealth Alliance had “mismanaged” grants in Wuhan, according to a government inquiry last year.

It exposed a delayed report detailing research conducted in the months prior to the pandemic, a failure to get lab notebooks from the Wuhan facility, and a failure to oversee a dangerous coronavirus experiment.

The US Department of Health and Human Services informed EcoHealth Alliance in writing that it would no longer be eligible to receive government funding.

After it was revealed that the government had given the organization about $60 million in public funds since the beginning of the pandemic, despite ongoing concerns about its work at the Wuhan lab, the funding was suspended.

Additionally, with financing from the US government, they have been collecting and testing hundreds of bat coronavirus samples since 2020.

EcoHealth Alliance has vehemently denied any connection to the genesis of COVID-19 and denied any misconduct related to its experiments.

Lawmakers looking into the origins of Covid applauded the non-profit’s funding suspension.

The funding suspension was criticized by others, who said it was “performative political posturing” and would compromise biosecurity.

According to the US Department of Energy and the FBI, Covid most likely leaked from a Chinese laboratory.

The World Health Organization is among the dozens of specialists who have claimed that COVID may have escaped from the Wuhan facility and connected the outbreak to the EcoHealth Alliance project.

Additionally, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated in September that he also thinks the epidemic was not started in a Wuhan wet market but rather resulted from a lab leak.

According to experts, the Wuhan Institute of Virology put the globe in risk by engineering chimeric viruses through so-called “gain of function” research.

This “souping up” entails taking viruses from animals and modifying them in a lab to make them more contagious and lethal to people.

Mr. Goodman thinks that at last, Trump and his administration might “get some real answers”

Because Donald Trump and several of his cabinet members who will have the power to look into the incident, including Matt Gaetz, Mike Waltz, and RFK Jr., were on Team Lab Leak, he stated: “I think we’re finally going to get some real answers and accountability for what happened in Wuhan.”

One of the first lawmakers to collaborate with WCW in early 2020 to defund the Wuhan lab was Rep. Mike Waltz, who was appointed by Trump as National Security Advisor.

For years, [he] has been fighting to find the source of COVID and has been collaborating with us to enact laws that will reduce financing for animal laboratories in China and other hostile countries.

“John Ratcliffe, Trump s former Director of National Intelligence who has been tapped to serve as CIA Director, believes a lab leak caused Covid and would have the authority to declassify intelligence on the pandemic s origins that the Biden administration has refused to release.”

According to the natural origins idea, Covid entered humans via a “intermediate host” after jumping from bats.

However, despite almost five years of trying, no animal host has been discovered.
