Rand Paul said Saturday that he is worried U.S. funding is still being used by the Chinese to develop biological weapons.
'I'm very worried that this stuff still goes on and that the U.S. government's been funding it,' Paul told Fox News' Jeanine Pirro on Saturday.
Paul argued that China likely used the 'gain of function,' which means it mutated a virus that usually transmits just among animals so it could jump to humans and in dong so, potentially become more dangerous or deadly.
'We've got a lot of evidence pointing to this lab now,' the Kentucky senator argued, noting that when he proposed stopping funding to this research, all Democrats got on board.
Both Paul and former CIA Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are warning that there is ongoing research and experimentation in the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), raising suspicions of another potential deadly virus leak.
Pompeo told Fox News on Friday that WIV is conducting secret military research.
The former Donald Trump aide also claimed there is 'enormous evidence' that the virus that causes COVID-19 escaped from the lab in China.

He can’t actually think the Chinese can’t develop bioweapons without American money, does he?
Judging by the quantity of Made in China stuff I see in American stores, I suspect Communist China is swimming in dollars.
Yeah, but they get much quicker results with dirty political US dollars.

“Allow”? Uh, exactly how are we supposed to stop this? Yeah, we can stop funding these homicidal maniacs, but there really isn’t a whole lot we can do to actually ‘stop’ them.
