Report: Tim Walz approved funding for Minnesota lab that worked with notorious Wuhan facility
09/12/2024 / By Ava Grace
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, has reportedly worked to secure millions in funding for a laboratory in his state that worked with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The Washington Examiner disclosed this development about Walz, citing records it reviewed. According to the outlet, he was responsible for helping the Hormel Institute (HI) – part of the University of Minnesota (UMN) – obtain a total of $7 million during his time as a congressman. The institute worked on a variety of projects with the WIV, which has been widely seen as the source of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Among the projects that the HI and the WIV worked on included COVID-19 research in 2020 and bacteria research in 2024. One such COVID-19 study listed four WIV researchers, three HI researchers and a professor from the Yale School of Medicine as authors.
According to the Examiner, Walz has held meetings with the HI for over a decade. Records also reveal that the Minnesota governor has toured the research center. In turn, the institute has thanked Walz for helping it obtain millions of dollars in funding. (Related: House panel subpoenas Tim Walz over $250M COVID fraud – was he aware of it at the time?)
“For [more than 80] years, the HI has helped pave the way for Minnesota to lead in biomedical innovation,” Walz said in April. “It was great to stop by their facilities … in Austin to see that work in action.”
No U.S. research center should collaborate with the WIV
In 2020, the Hormel Institute also disclosed in the “funding information” section of a separate EMBO Journal study that it received “help from the core facility and technical support” of the WIV for “radioactive and fluorescent tests,” the Examiner found.
HI professor Bin Liu, who is listed as working on the 2020 EMBO Journal study, attended Wuhan University as per his resume. Other researchers for the study included those with links to the WIV, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Zhengzhou University.
A January 2024 study on genes was penned by HI researchers and three researchers from Wuhan – Lina He, Wei Zhou and Yangbo Hu. Meanwhile, Hu worked with three others from HI – Liu, Dong Wang and Dmytro Kompaniiets – on a paper titled “Structure and molecular mechanism of bacterial transcription activation.”
Established in 1956, the WIV is overseen by the Chinese Academy of Sciences – which reports directly to the Chinese Communist Party’s State Council. According to the U.S. Department of State, the WIV “has engaged in classified research, including laboratory animal experiments, on behalf of the Chinese military since at least 2017.”
UMN spokesman Jake Ricker insisted that both the university and HI have no “formal affiliation” with the WIV. “Research is conducted with the full commitment of the HI and the university to compliance with federal disclosure, security, export controls and sanctions rules,” he said.
U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Brian Cavanaugh, a former member of the White House National Security Council, pointed out that the HI’s work with WIV is concerning. He said U.S. entities should not be collaborating at all with the WIV.
“The WIV has direct ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army,” Cavanaugh told the Examiner. “The HI is helping a foreign adversary.”
