The former bill was first introduced in 2021 as momentum surged behind the \u201clab-leak\u201d theory that COVID-19 emerged via a lab accident during GoF work in Wuhan, China.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dr. Fauci put us all in danger when he funded dangerous viral gain-of-function research in China.

The SAFE Risky Research Act would halt funding to risky GoF research in foreign countries that may threaten national security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite warnings and past lab accidents, our public health agencies like NIH continue to fund the WMD research, often in China nonetheless,\u201d Marshall plans to remark in a floor speech Thursday. \u201cShockingly, Congress has minimal insight into the amount of this research that NIH. There is no transparency into their risk evaluation process. There is no proper oversight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis legislation is commonsense. We shouldn\u2019t be collaborating on dangerous research with our adversaries,\u201d Marshall will say regarding the SAFE Risky Research Act. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/24\/wuhan-institute-virology-coronavirus-covid-lab-leak-daszak-baric\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Not Just China: The US Government, Universities Are Hiding Evidence On The Origin Of COVID-19, Experts Allege)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marshall participated in a <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/08\/03\/anthony-fauci-gain-of-function-research-wuhan-covid-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senate hearing<\/a> Wednesday about GoF research, the first such hearing to be held before the U.S. Congress.
