SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 30 – A FOIA case was filed by the publisher of The Intercept, First Look Institute, against the National Institutes of Health, for records "demonstrative of funding to provided to virologist Dr. Peter Daszak to study the emergence of zoonotice diseases such as Sars-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic."

The complaint states that Daszak "is the sole U.S. scientist on the World Health Organization (WHO) team investigating the orders of the virus... Daszak has deep, longstanding ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a Chinese research facility central to questions about the origin of the pandemic."
Judge Woods ordered the production of 300 pages per month, with a status letter due on December 1.
And when will the public see the story - or the documents?
The case is First Look Institute, Inc. et al v. National Institutes of Health, 21-cv-4024 (Woods)
