• Documents obtained by White Coat Waste Project provide new details about the dangerous $1 million bird flu gain-of-function experiments being conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in collaboration with a Wuhan animal lab white coat tied to the Chinese government
  • Records secured by WCW via the Freedom of Information Act show that animals will be infected with bird flu and allowed to suffer in painful and “severe” experiments without any pain relief
  • The USDA’s animal experiments are using gain-of-function techniques to soup up “highly pathogenic avian influenza” and see if it can jump from birds to mammals
  • The documents contradict statements about the animal experimentation collaboration with China made by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and the USDA’s partners downplaying the risks of the project to animals and people
