Ex-Biden staffer says COVID likely DID from from Wuhan and Republicans say taxpayer-funded gain-of-function caused pandemic
- Scientific advisors testified to Congress on Tuesday about the COVID origins
- Trump’s CDC chief claimed Fauci shut him out when discussing lab leak theories
- A Biden staffer also said there is growing evidence virus came from Wuhan lab
Top scientific advisors told Congress on Wednesday there’s mounting evidence COVID leaked from the Wuhan lab and accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of trying to cover up the claims because they didn’t fit his narrative.
Experts, including a former Biden staffer and Donald Trump’s CDC director, testified to the House subcommittee investigating COVID that taxpayer-funded gain-of-function likely caused the virus that came from the Chinese facility.
Dr. Jamie Metzl, a self-identified Democrat who worked for President Biden when he was in the Senate, said he favored the lab leak theory because ‘the Chinese government has done everything in its power’ to stonewall investigations.
Republican Rep. Jim Jordan also tore into Dr Anthony Fauci for ‘trying to cover his backside’ over the lab leak claims, and Trump’s CDC director Robert Redfield claimed the Biden COVID advisor was trying to control the narrative.
It follows the release of the explosive Department of Energy report two weeks ago that the virus – responsible for years of lockdowns and restrictions – likely did leak from the lab.
