Coronavirus: Was US money used to fund risky research in China?
It's linked to the unproven theory that the virus could have leaked from a lab in Wuhan, the Chinese city where it was first detected.
A report released by Republican lawmakers cites "ample evidence" that the lab was working to modify coronaviruses to infect humans and calls for a bipartisan investigation into its origins.
Republican Senator Rand Paul also alleges that US money was used to fund research there that made some viruses more infectious and more deadly, a process known as "gain-of-function".
"Gain-of-function" is when an organism develops new abilities (or "functions").
Did the US fund virus research in China?
Yes, it did contribute some funds.
Dr Fauci, as well as being an adviser to President Biden, is the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the US government's National Institutes of Health (NIH)
.
This body did give money to an organisation that collaborated with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
