House Report: COVID-19 Likely Lab Leak; NIH Funded Wuhan Research
Dec 2, 2024, 08:55 PM
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has released its final report, a comprehensive 500-plus-page document concluding a two-year investigation into the origins and handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The report suggests that COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab-related incident involving gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. It reveals that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, with U.S. taxpayer dollars channeled through organizations like EcoHealth Alliance. The report accuses certain officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci and Peter Daszak, of attempting to cover up facts concerning the pandemic's origins and criticizes the Biden administration for obstructing investigations. The report aims to ensure COVID-19 accountability and serve as a roadmap for the United States to prepare for and respond to future pandemics.
