The letter from the NIH strongly insists that the viruses researched by EcoHealth Alliance couldn’t have been closely related to the COVID-19 disease causing the ongoing global pandemic, citing genetic differences with the closest relative studied by EcoHealth’s subcontractor, the Wuhan Institute of Virology. However, the NIH does admit that EcoHealth Alliance failed to report a one log increase in growth of coronaviruses it was researching as a result of its experiments.
