Don’t want to be challenged? The Newsweek article clearly states that some firm named EcoHealth Alliance was subcontracted to international projects under the NIH for gain of function research in Wuhan. This firm was contracted when Fauci was head of the NIH and its president Peter Daszak who denounced all possibilities that there was a lab leak. The NIH under Fauci suppressed information about ECOHealth Alliance for over a year.
The editorial is trying to do damage control for Fauci & pin more on that Daszak character but they seem to give themselves away but you got your spin and are ok with it.
As the editorial pivots for Fauci ( at least they gave truthful facts):
While Dr. Fauci takes the political heat, the revelations center on another figure in this drama: Peter Daszak, president of the private research firm EcoHealth Alliance, which received the $3 million NIH grant for coronavirus research and subcontracted the gain-of-function experiments to the Wuhan lab. The activities of Daszak and EcoHealth before the pandemic and during it show a startling lack of transparency about their work with coronaviruses and raise questions about what more there may be to learn.
From the start, Daszak has worked vigorously to discredit any notion that the pandemic could have been the result of a lab accident. When the media was first grappling with the basics of the situation, Daszak organized a letter in the prestigious medical journal The Lancet from 27 scientists, to "strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin," and got himself appointed to the WHO team investigating COVID origins, where he successfully argued that there was no need to look into the WIV's archives.
What Daszak didn't reveal at the time was that the WIV had been using the NIH grant money to genetically engineer dozens of novel coronaviruses discovered in bat samples, and that he knew it was entirely possible that one of those samples had contained SARS-CoV-2 and had infected a researcher, as he conceded to the journal Science in a November 17 interview: "Of course it's possible—things have happened in the past."
The NIH fought for more than a year to keep details about the EcoHealth grant under wraps. The 528 pages of proposals, conditions, emails, and progress reports revealed that EcoHealth had funded experiments at the WIV that were considerably riskier than the ones previously disclosed.
The trouble began in May 2016….
However, we have a new director of NIH who says Fauci’s pardon is ok & to move on which is fine.

USAID-funded pandemic research failed to spot COVID or ensure Chinese transparency
There remains many open questions about whether the agency's funding played some role in the creation of COVID-19 in a Wuhan laboratory.
