But the OP was that AmericanViking said that Obama "funded the Chinese lab" and it turned out it was a private American research group who worked alongside a Chinese organisation that funded US$600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology
It is misleading to claim that the Obama administration gave funding to a Chinese research institute. It is true that funds were provided to a project where an American research group worked alongside a Chinese organization. Claims that the funding helped produce the pandemic are unsubstantiated. A total of $3.7 million was not given to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, only about $600,000.
But it wasn't a government funding, even Trump didn't fund it either, it was a private American research group who worked alongside a Chinese organisation that funded US$600,000 to the Wuhan Institute of Virology
