VisitCongressional Testimonies Link COVID-19 to Wuhan Lab Leak, 20 Million Dead
May 13, 2024, 11:08 AM
Recent revelations from U.S. lawmakers and congressional testimonies suggest that COVID-19, which resulted in 20 million deaths, may have originated from a lab leak in Wuhan, contradicting earlier assertions of a natural origin. Documents uncovered by U.S. lawmakers, along with testimonies from key figures such as Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric, have fueled the lab leak theory. These figures have been accused of downplaying alternative theories and lacking transparency about their work in Wuhan. The Wuhan Institute of Virology, noted for its close ties to the Chinese military, and the EcoHealth Alliance, led by Daszak, are at the center of these allegations. The controversy has sparked bipartisan demands for accountability and transparency, emphasizing the need for a reevaluation of the pandemic's origins, amidst allegations of a cover-up by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and misinformation by the WHO.
