Despite the profound disruptions we've faced since Covid, it's surprising that few discuss the root cause. The pandemic's staggering societal impact ranges from a commercial real estate implosion to major disruptions in the automotive industry.

1. Funding Confirmation: The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has admitted to funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) through grants to the nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance. This admission contradicts previous denials by officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci.
2. Nature of Research: The research involved modifying bat coronaviruses to study their potential to infect humans, specifically testing if spike proteins could bind to human ACE2 receptors in a mouse model.
