You're shocked by how many billions go completely unaudited?

okay then...how many billions are completely unaudited?

Bigly huge numbers! No one knows how many billions except for me: and it’s many! That’s what people are saying!
So you're fine with USAID funding the development of Covid-19 through EcoHealthAlliance (it's been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt) and you're even finer with USAID then financing media (like the BBC and Politico but so many are very likely recipients of these funds) to do the coverup and pretend that it "couldn't have possibly been a lab-leak"?

If you're not fine with that, how do we suggest we even fix this?

The USAID literally financed the development of a virus that killed tens of millions of people worldwide. And then it greased many wheels to try to make people believe it couldn't possibly have been a lab-leak.

Trump just asked an audit of all the US donations that have been made to Ukraine: this looked like one of the biggest operation of money laundering in a long time.

Why are you even against trying to fix things?

Could I get a source of proof for the USAID-EcoHealthAlliance funding and development? I’m googling a lot of variations but I can’t find a good article. Just curious. Thanks.
I suspect the vast majority is in the DoD, which, strangely, isn't the target here.
Only strange if one believes this was about government waste and not an ideological "purification."
SpaceX gets a lot of their funding from the DoD, don't they?
