Washington, D.C. 20201 The Honorable Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D. Director National Institutes of Health 9000 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20892 Dear Secretary Becerra and Director Collins, Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 2954 we, as members of the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, write to request documents regarding the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent release of approximately 4,000 pages of NIH email communications and other documents from early 2020 has raised serious questions about NIH’s handling of COVID-19. Between June 1and June 4, 2021, the news media and public interest groups released approximately 4,000 pages of NIH emails and other documents these organizations received pursuant to Freedom of Information Act requests.1 These documents, though heavily redacted, have shed new light on NIH’s awareness of the virus’ origins in the early stages of the COVID- 19 pandemic. In a January 9, 2020 email, Dr. David Morens, Senior Scientific Advisor to Dr. Fauci, emailed Dr. Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, asking for “any inside info on this new coronavirus that isn’t yet in the public domain[.]”2 In a January 27, 2020 reply, Dr. Daszak emailed Dr. Morens, with the subject line: “Wuhan novel coronavirus – NIAID’s role in bat-origin Covs” and stated: 1 See Damian Paletta and Yasmeen Abutaleb, Anthony Fauci’s pandemic emails:

    August 19, 2021 Chairman Lipps, Vice Chair Holmes, Ranking Member Russo, and Members of the House Health Committee, thank you for the opportunity to provide proponent testimony on House Bill 248. My family and I are asking that Ohio HB248 be passed in order to protect the individual freedoms we currently have as American citizens. I work in a corporate setting and my husband owns a small business. We have two young daughters who are relying on us to provide for them and protect their rights. I support this bill in hopes that they can grow up with the same liberties we have had. Segregation and discrimination over individual health choices should be taken seriously and passing this bill is key to avoiding those types of issues in the future. I am not a scientist, but I am a mom, a wife, and a daughter who takes the health of my family very seriously. I have done extensive amounts of research on the SARS-COV2 virus and subsequent vaccines. There are also many health experts that provide me with helpful information. I am sure you are receiving many testimonies about the large numbers of vaccine injuries and even deaths that have occurred during this vaccine campaign. Personally, I know two women who have had severe menstrual issues (requiring surgery) that they can connect back to occurring right after the vaccine. My friends’ cousin passed away at only 23 years old from an enlarged heart after receiving the vaccine. The stories go on and on. The point is that no legislation should force my family and I to inject ourselves with substances that have side effects such as this.

  • The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus: a Twenty-Year Journey of Narratives and (In)Secure Landscapes
    The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus: a twenty-year journey of narratives and (in)secure landscapes Philip Rolly Egert Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Science, Technology, and Society Barbara L. Allen (Chair) Daniel Breslau Bernice L. Hausman David C. Tomblin March 18, 2016 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: H5N1, HPAI, highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, pandemic, social justice, bioterrorism, bioethics, biopower, tacit knowledge, dual-use dilemma, dual-use research of concern, emerging infectious disease Copyright Philip R. Egert The Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus: a twenty-year journey of narratives and (in)secure landscapes Philip Rolly Egert ABSTRACT This dissertation is comprised of two manuscripts that explore various contestations and representations of knowledge about the highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1virus. In the first manuscript, I explore three narratives that have been produced to describe the 20-year journey of the virus. The journey begins in 1996 when the virus was a singular localized animal virus but then over the next 20 years multiplied its ontological status through a (de)stabilized global network of science and politics that promoted both fears of contagion and politics of otherness. Written by and for powerful actors and institutions in the global North, the narratives focused on technical solutions and outbreak fears. In doing so, the narratives produced policies and practices of biopower that obscured alternative considerations for equity, social justice, and wellbeing for the marginalized groups most directly affected by the H5N1 virus.
