U.S. Committee Led by Brad Wenstrup Concludes COVID-19 Likely Originated from Wuhan Lab Leak, Issues 500+ Page Final Report
Dec 14, 2024, 01:30 AM
A U.S. Congressional committee, led by Republican Brad Wenstrup, has concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic likely resulted from a virus leak at a research facility in Wuhan, China. This finding comes after a two-year investigation by the U.S. Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, which supports the lab leak theory. The report also criticizes the Biden Administration's pandemic management, accusing it of employing 'undemocratic' censorship methods on social media. The final report, which exceeds 500 pages, was released by the United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and highlights lessons learned and the path forward. Additionally, the Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has accused the Chinese government of a systematic cover-up regarding the origins of the virus.
