→Coronavirus pandemic
In April 2021, Joe Biden’s USAID announced a new initiative spearheaded by Daszak's EcoHealth Alliance to track emerging infectious diseases with pandemic potential. Also collaborating on the taxpayer-funded venture is Metabiota, whose researchers have been listed as authors on papers from June 2021 relating to coronavirus surveillance in Africa. EcoHealth Alliance, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and Metabiota, have collaborated on a study since 2014 relating to bat infectious diseases in China. Among the researchers listed is the Wuhan lab director [[Shi Zhengli]], and Peter Daszak as an author.<ref>http://www.ecohealthalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Yuan-et-al_virus-bats_viruses-2014.pdf</ref> Hunter Biden's [[Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners]] was a lead financial backer of Metabiota. Rosemont Seneca led the Metabiota’s first round of funding, which amounted to $30 million.<ref> https://www.marlinllc.com/_media/_data/MarlinNewsletter/hit-monthly-newsletter-june-2015.pdf</ref>

====Vaccine mandates====
{{See also|Biden's vaccine mandate}}
While lagging behind in vaccination targets, at a moment of a crisis of confidence among the electorate, Biden clarified his position and tried to restore the American people's trust in the information they receive from government and media:
{{quotebox-float|"And the question is whether or not we should be in a position where, you, er, um, are why can’t the, um, the experts say we know that this virus is in fact, er, er, um, uh, its this its going to be or, excuse me, we, we, we know why all the drugs approved are not temporary, temporarily approved, but permanently approved.”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/07/21/joe-biden-arranges-words-into-odd-cringe-worthy-sequence-during-heavily-structured-cnn-townhall-event-the-picture-is-priceless/</ref>}}
On September 9, 2021, Biden attempted to force the controversial [[COVID vaccine]] on 100 million Americans, despite the ineffectiveness of the [[vaccine]] to reduce the spread of [[COVID-19]]. Biden initially targeted federal employees and large employers, plus health care, education and other federally funded sectors.
Larry Cosme, the president of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association, described Biden's mandate as "misguided" which improperly "villainizes employees."<ref>https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/biden-covid-vaccine-mandate-blasted-by-head-of-federal-officers-union-e2-80-98villainizes-employees-e2-80-99/ar-AAOheaB</ref> Cosme observed:
{{quotebox-float|The COVID-19 pandemic is a rapidly evolving and emotional trying situation. In the face of so many uncertainties, our federal government should trust its employees to make their own medical decision under consultation with their doctor, not mandate by their employer. Vaccination should be promoted through education and encouragement – not coercion.}}
One week later the [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) overwhelmingly voted to reject Biden's vaccine booster shot plan.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2021/09/17/fda-panel-overwhelmingly-rejects-bidens-booster-shot-plan-for-all-americans/</ref> One member of the panel said “COVID vaccines are killing more people than they’re saving.”<ref>https://gellerreport.com/2021/09/vaccine-kills-more-than-saves.html/</ref> [[Black Lives Matter]] called the vaccine mandate [[racist]].<ref>https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/black-lives-matter-new-york-vaccine-mandate-is-racist-restaurant-boycott-to-begin/</ref>
