Nobody is saying he personally approved the grant or was part of the research.
I am saying that the story was circulating for months that the NIH potentially funded gain of function research in Wuhan. There is NO way that him and his team didn't look into the situation given how serious it was, and there is NO way he didn't 100% know the answer when he was asked on the record.
It is like saying the PM of Canada isn't aware of what happened at the lab in Winnipeg, but they can't hand over the information to media requests because it is extremely sensitive.
The big players get briefed on this stuff and know. To act otherwise is naive and stupid.
