So did Fauci have a hand in approving the funding? Did he as Dr Rashid Buttar say Fauci funded the research in China after it was deemed to dangerous to Pursue “Gain of Function” related to the corona virus in the US?

Not only was it the USA... The guy @ the head of the Crisis... funded the source of the outbreak

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) actually funded a study , which was a project that included scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab at the center of controversy over their bat research.That study confirmed in 2018 that humans have died from coronavirus...Here’s an excerpt from the April 4, 2018 NIAID website entry entitled “New Coronavirus Emerges From Bats in China, Devastates Young Swine”: “A newly identified coronavirus that killed nearly 25,000 piglets in 2016-17 in China emerged from horseshoe bats near the origin of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), which emerged in 2002 in the same bat species. The new virus is named swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS-CoV). ...

National Institutes of Health, of which Fauci’s NIAID is a member, provided a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study bat-borne coronavirus.

I wonder who will end up being tied to funding development of SARS-CoV2? Fauci, maybe???
