A big part of our World Health Security Strategy is expressly to developed and support stuff in other countries. Ideally, this would be things that protect against, detect, and mitigation those world health risks, not develop dual purpose or singularly weaponized viruses.

Although, hugely costly for Americans to fund the world's health security, I can see value in that approach, if we aren't purposely or naively letting our funding be used to develop biological weapons, knowingly with insufficient training and protection to do so safely.

Whether the NIH funds legit studies or are using the money to fund unethical studies and bioweapons is irrelevant. The US runs unethical and bioweapon studies all the time. If it's not done in other countries, it'll be done in the US. There have also been multiple leaks on US soil and multiple purposeful leaks.

If it doesn't benefit the American people, then why are we doing it?

Our funding absolutely was used to develop biological weapons. That was the whole point of putting the research overseas. It would be illegal and unethical to perform this research on American soil! Can you imagine if the COVID research had been done in America and escaped the lab? He'd be in handcuffs!
