U.S. Right to Know, a nonprofit investigative public health group, filed a lawsuit on Nov. 30 against the U.S. Department of State for violating provisions of the Freedom of Information Act.
This is the second Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by USRTK as part of its efforts to uncover what is known about the origins of novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2; the risks of biosafety labs; and gain-of-function research, which seeks to augment the infectivity or lethality of potential pandemic pathogens.
Today’s lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, seeks State Department documents and correspondence with or about China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Wuhan Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and the EcoHealth Alliance, which partnered with and funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology, among other subjects.
The new lawsuit follows one filed by USRTK on Nov. 5 against the National Institutes of Health over its failure to provide records about the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Since July, USRTK has filed 43 state, federal, and international public records requests seeking information about the origins of SARS-CoV-2, and the risks of biosafety labs and gain-of-function research.
SARS-CoV-2 is the virus that causes the disease COVID-19.
