US funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology was halted after it was reported by The Mail on Sunday. These labs include the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which specialises in the study of bat-borne viruses and where there are known safety concerns. Ian Lipkin, a renowned virus hunter from Columbia University's school of public health and another signatory, said last week he was 'concerned' Wuhan scientists 'may not have exercised appropriate safety precautions'. The Biden administration is largely backing the stance of Donald Trump, whose officials published concerns linking the Wuhan lab to the outbreak.
