David Morens just got indicted for teaching himself how to make Fauci's emails disappear before federal investigators could read them.
Now Fauci's lab network is already facing a second criminal probe.
What the FBI found this time makes the email deletion look like a parking ticket.
Fauci Funded Munster's Gain of Function Bat Virus Work for Years at Rocky Mountain Laboratories
Anthony Fauci's top bat virus researcher, Vincent Munster, got caught smuggling deadly African pathogens through a U.S. airport in a hard-shell case stuffed inside his luggage – and a new whistleblower letter obtained by White Coat Waste says NIH officials in Bethesda ordered staff to stay quiet and are now operating in "full coverup mode."
He is one of Fauci's most trusted bat coronavirus scientists, based at NIH's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana – a BSL-4 facility where researchers work with Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa Fever.
Munster was a co-author on the 2018 DEFUSE proposal – the rejected DARPA blueprint for engineering coronaviruses with furin cleavage sites that would allow them to infect human lungs.
DARPA said no.
The following year, a bat coronavirus with a furin cleavage site turned up in Wuhan and killed millions of people.
In 2018, Munster led an NIH experiment that infected bats with a Chinese bat coronavirus strain originally collected by EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
He helped EcoHealth Alliance secure NIAID funding for the "Wuhan West" bat colony project at Colorado State University.
He organized a bat virus conference alongside EcoHealth's Peter Daszak and Wuhan's Shi Zhengli after the pandemic began.
In 2021, when Nature magazine ran a piece downplaying the lab leak theory, they quoted Munster – who said there was nothing suspicious about a novel coronavirus appearing in the same city as a lab that studied coronaviruses.
FBI Opens Criminal Probe After NIH Employee Bitten by Infected Monkey and Secretly Flown Out
Earlier this year, Munster and NIH lab scientist Claude Kwe Yinda returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Airport security stopped them.
Inside their luggage was a hard-shell protective case packed with undeclared human pathogen samples – including monkeypox virus, classified by HHS as a select agent posing a severe threat to public safety.
Neither man had the legally required permits or paperwork.
Neither has confirmed whether the samples were inactivated or still infectious.
Both were placed on administrative leave and scrubbed from the official HHS employee directory.
The FBI opened a criminal investigation.
The whistleblower letter sent to White Coat Waste goes further than the smuggling itself.
The letter says a separate incident at Rocky Mountain Laboratories – first exposed by WCW in January – involved a staffer bitten by a macaque monkey infected with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, a deadly foreign virus.
The monkey was being used in NIH's maximum-pain experiments with zero pain mitigation.
The bite penetrated the staffer's protective suit.
Instead of informing the RML campus, NIH officials quietly flew the exposed worker out to avoid attention.
The whistleblower states the decisions to downplay both incidents came directly "from the main NIH campus in Bethesda."
White Coat Waste president Anthony Bellotti put it plainly: "White Coat Waste first uncovered, documented, and exposed Dr. Fauci's reckless funding for gain-of-function animal tests in Wuhan – and we've warned that Vincent Munster's dangerous Fauci-backed animal experiments with deadly bioagents at NIH's Rocky Mountain Lab were another disaster waiting to happen on US soil."
The whistleblower letter closes with a direct demand: "RML needs to be defunded and decommissioned before Munster and his cronies cause another pandemic."
This is the same institution that, just weeks ago, watched Fauci's longtime senior adviser David Morens get indicted on conspiracy charges – accused of learning from NIH's own FOIA office how to delete records before investigators could find them, and coordinating with EcoHealth's Peter Daszak to suppress the lab leak story.
Fauci's network funded the research that likely caused COVID-19, buried the evidence, got a conspirator indicted, and now the FBI is investigating another member of the same circle for smuggling the exact category of dangerous pathogen they spent years insisting was handled safely.
Fauci built this machine, funded it with your tax dollars, and protected it for decades.
RFK Jr. has the authority to shut Rocky Mountain Laboratories down today – defund it, decommission it, and hand the FBI everything it needs to put Munster and anyone who helped him cover this up in front of a grand jury.
Every day that lab stays open is a day Fauci's people are still in charge of the most dangerous viruses on earth.
