2014 is the start date of NIH grant AI110964 --which funded the research in Wuhan that caused COVID, and which Fauci approved in violation of a moratorium in 2014-2017 and a mandate for HHS-Secretary-level review in 2018-2020. The start data of the pre-emptive pardon to Fauci corresponds to the start date of NIH grant AI110964, which funded the research in Wuhan that caused COVID and which Fauci misfeasantly approved for continued funding in 2015-2020. Newsweek - In 2014, the NIH said it paused funding for GOF research that was "reasonably anticipated to confer attributes to influenza, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), or SARS viruses" that would make them more transmissible to humans. Speaking to Newsweek, Ebright said this appeared to be false by his interpretation of the documents released by The Intercept. "Multiple sections of the grant proposals and grant progress reports make it clear that the grants funded gain-of-function research of concern in Wuhan," he said. "Two especially noteworthy sections are page 28 and Figure 35 of the year four progress report on the first five year grant term (1R01-AI110964) and page 3, Figure 6, of the proposal for a second five-year grant term (2R01-AI110964)." Ebright said these sections of the documents show that NIH grants supported the construction of mutant SARS-related coronaviruses that involved blending different types together. The result was a lab-generated virus that could infect human cells, he said, adding that at least three of the lab-generated viruses "exhibited >10x to >100x higher viral loads in humanized mice."
