Biden’s Top Medical Advisor Funded Chinese Lab That Sparked COVID: Tulsi Gabbard Published By Last Updated: June 19, 2026, 11:59 IST Outgoing Director of Intelligence of the US, Tulsi Gabbard, alleged that Chief Medical Advisor to former President Biden funded research lab that leaked the COVID virus. Tulsi Gabbard has made bombshell claims accusing former Chief Medical Advisor of the US, Anthony Fauci, funded Chinese Lab which allegedly leaked COVID. (Representational image) Tulsi Gabbard, Director of Intelligence (DNI) of the United States, has accused the former Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci of having funded research at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology. She also accused him of colluding with ‘politicised’ intelligence officers to suppress this information. Wuhan is where the COVID-19 virus, which caused a global pandemic in 2019-2020, is believed to have originated. Gabbard has made these claims based on documents she declassified and released to the public on her last working day as the DNI. Today, on my final day as Director of Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements… pic.twitter.com/ZMdliW4zyS— DNI Tulsi Gabbard (@DNIGabbard) June 19, 2026 She accused Fauci of having funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, suppressing his actions in collusion with ‘politicised elements within the intelligence community,’ and lying to the United States Congress under oath.

After the COVID-19 pandemic ravaged global systems, several people peddled an idea that the virus was leaked in the public from a lab in Wuhan. Scientists, however, believed it likely originated in the city’s wet markets. “It’s time you know the truth," Gabbard said in a tweet on X. What Is Gain Of Function Research It is a type of research in which scientists genetically alter an organism to enhance its biological functions. Wikipedia says scientists could alter pathogenesis or even the host range in this type of research. Pathogenesis is the way in which the disease develops within the host animal. It is crucial for researchers trying to understand how these ailments function and prevent or stop them. Host range is the number of animals a microorganism can infect. Bats are believed to be the primary natural reservoir and evolutionary source of the sars-covid virus that upended world systems few years back. Wuhan’s wet markets famously offer a wide variety of animal meat to buyers. At the time, it was believed that it was from one such market that the virus entered humans first. What Has Gabbard Said On her last day as the intelligence director for US, Gabbard said she is releasing so far unseen communications and documents that expose Fauci’s role in the alleged conspiracy that suggests COVID-19 originated in a lab in China.
