GOP lawmakers seek probe of U.S. financing of Wuhan lab at center of COVID-19 controversy

House Republicans sent a letter Friday to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., demanding she permit an investigation into whether a Chinese lab released COVID-19 as they began their own inquiry into the National Institutes of Health’s funding for the scandal-ridden Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“There is mounting evidence the COVID-19 pandemic started in the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Chinese Communist Party covered it up," GOP lawmakers wrote, demanding accountability “if U.S. taxpayer money was used to develop COVID-19, conduct gain of function research, or assist in any sort of cover-up.

“It is incumbent upon grant recipients to ensure their work is performed within the scope of the grant, advances our national interest, and protects our national security. It is vital to understand if U.S. taxpayer funds were at all affiliated with a pandemic that has taken the lives of nearly 600,000 Americans so we can prevent similar future catastrophes,” they added.

House Committee on Oversight and Reform ranking member James Comer, R-Ky., and House Committee on the Judiciary ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter to Francis Collins, the director of the NIH, and Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The Republicans point to a grant from NIH given to EcoHealth, which they say has funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology "to study bat coronaviruses."

“EcoHealth has awarded almost $600,000 to the WIV and another $200,000 to the Wuhan University School of Public Health," the lawmakers wrote.

Meanwhile...

UK intelligence 'is helping US probe theory that Covid leaked from Wuhan lab' after Biden ordered officials to 'redouble' efforts to identify origins of virus

The same bunch that helped our Deep State get rid of Trump and end our republic?

Everyone feel better now?

What on earth do investigators hope to uncover after screwing around for eighteen months seemingly in a self-induced stupor doing nothing? The only thing left now is common sense and telltale geonome indicators that the virus was CRISPRed together in a lab. to enhance its lethality. There are many ‘Josef Mengeles’ around the world, both here and elsewhere who have committed the most massive and hideous international crimes against humanity in the history of the world. If brought to answer for these crimes, the gallows will be busy for a very long time.

It is insane that my tax dollars go to pay for Bat Virus labs in Communist Red China. Who approved that?
