A study released by researchers at France‘s Pasteur Institute suggests that a highly evolved polio strain, which infected a boy in China’s Anhui province, closely matches a variant stored at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV). The strain, WIV14, is 99 percent similar to the Saukett A strain used in vaccine production and lab settings. This similarity has led some experts to question whether the strain might have leaked from the WIV lab.
The study points to two possibilities for the origins of WIV14: the strain could have emerged from a natural reservoir or a lab. According to Dr. Maël Bessaud, who led the research, it is also possible that WIV14 originated at the WIV itself, or from a facility handling polio.

The research adds to ongoing concerns over lab safety protocols, particularly at the WIV, which has faced scrutiny for its alleged role in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dangerous virus research in China is receiving funding from U.S. taxpayers, with the Department of Agriculture (USDA) helping to fund a project enhancing the virulence of bird flu, for instance.
Peter Daszak, the Anthony Fauci-linked researcher whose EcoHealth Alliance group is accused of complicity in a Wuhan lab leak, also continued to receive funding to work with exotic viruses sourced from bats, pangolins, and other animals post-pandemic.
Following years of reporting on EcoHealth Alliance by The National Pulse, Daszak was debarred from receiving public funding by the U.S. government this year. Rep. Brad Wenstrup’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic had argued Daszak was non-compliant with National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant terms and disregarding the risks associated with so-called gain-of-function research.
