WCW Lawsuit: NIH Sued Over “Wuhan West” Animal Lab, Virus Smuggling Scandal Records

by White Coat Waste Staff · in Blog, Breaking News
  • White Coat Waste’s new lawsuit covers seven separate overdue FOIA responses to requests seeking records detailing NIH’s Ebola, COVID, monkeypox, and bird flu experiments on ferrets, primates, pigs, mice, and other animals at its Rocky Mountain Laboratory (RML).
  • The lawsuit also covers documents related to apparent virus smuggling by RML animal experimenter Vincent Munster, a scandal exposed through a WCW whistleblower exposé earlier this year.
  • Previous WCW lawsuits have forced the NIH to release videos, photos, and other documents detailing Dr. Fauci’s max-pain animal experiments at RML.
  • WCW was the very first to expose how Dr. Fauci funded the Wuhan lab. Our prior FOIA lawsuit also uncovered the “smoking gun” emails proving Fauci’s agency funded EcoHealth’s gain-of-function animal tests — and how the U.S. government funded the experimenter who is Covid’s likely “Patient Zero”.
  • For years, WCW has been leading efforts to expose, defund, and close RML’s animal labs.

Earlier this year, White Coat Waste exposed a dangerous monkey bite incident at the National Institutes of Health’s Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Hamilton, MT (aka “Wuhan West”) and an international virus smuggling scandal involving apparently reckless RML animal experimenters.

Now, WCW has filed a new Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the NIH for failing to release documents about RML’s animal experiments and the virus trafficking incident.

Legal complaint filed by White Coat Waste Project against HHS in US District Court requesting FOIA records on Rocky Mountain Laboratories animal experiments and biological material importation.

WCW’s lawsuit covers seven separate overdue FOIA responses to requests seeking records detailing NIH’s Ebola, COVID, monkeypox, and bird flu experiments on ferrets, primates, pigs, mice, and other animals at RML.

 

The lawsuit also covers documents related to apparent virus smuggling by RML animal experimenter Vincent Munster, for which he and a colleague have since been charged with felonies by the Department of Justice.

The seven outstanding FOIA requests were submitted by WCW in 2025 and 2026. NIH has been sitting on some with no apparent movement for over 18 months.

This is just the latest salvo in WCW’s campaign to find, expose, and defund RML’s maximum pain animal labs. An earlier WCW lawsuit against NIH forced RML to release videos of deadly experiments on primates and baby pigs.

 

To coincide with Tax Week 2026, WCW also installed billboards near RML that read: WTF RFK? End Fauci’s Labs.

The solution is simple:
