Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., says he will advocate for an "international convention of civilized countries" to gather and discuss the dangers of gain-of-function research.
Paul has been one of few leaders in Congress pressing for a hearing on the origins of COVID-19. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) last year acknowledged its efforts to fund gain-of-function research on bats infected with coronaviruses at a lab in Wuhan, China, before COVID-19 broke out and forever altered life around the world.
"Not only do we need restrictions in our country," Paul told Fox News Digital in an interview of the research method. "I'm going to be advocating for an international convention of civilized countries to come together and discuss gain-of-function research and the potential harm it could cause on a global scale."
"The chances are that [COVID-19] came from the lab — and…we're up to appropriately 70 million people dead the world now — and this with about 1% mortality. If the next virus that gets out has a 15% or 50% mortality…we essentially destroy the underpinnings of civilization," Paul said.
Demands for answers surrounding the origins of the virus, which is believed to have originated in Wuhan in November 2019, have led to calls for White House Chief Medical Adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci's resignation and a general feeling of distrust between some citizens and government leaders.

Not resignation, investigation and prosecution.
This is the first step for Nuremberg 2.0
Yes... This is how you get from A to B.
You need an international convention.
That's pretty much the equivalent of germ warfare.
Oberst Von Scherbach: “Curtains would do wonders for this barracks. You will not get them.”
It originated through spontaneous generation in the Wuhan wet market. Twitter, Google and Fakebook said so. Never mind there was a nearby virology laboratory researching bat coronaviruses. Sarcasm
Look at the capitulating of the resident’s version of America.
Who is going to follow, especially with the resident at the helm?
Right now we are OWNED and OPERATED by the PRCs.
And BTW Rand is only a Senator with not even a smidgen of power. And don’t tell me I’m wrong. You still see Fauxci walking around free and very very well Paid? Yes, point made!
Rand and/or DeSantis for president!
Rand Paul gets another one right. It is infuriating that no one except Paul (and Trump) seem to care where this horrible disease originated.
If, say, a tanker spilled some oil there’d be investigations all over the place. Congress would demand answers! But when it comes to Covid, crickets.
I guess it all boils down to this: We mustn’t upset the ChiComs, our economic overlords.
It might not be a good idea to investigate too thoroughly. Fauci and Collins , both certified US officials, provided funding for gain of function research at a Chines Biological weapons lad. Hence thanks to the actions of these two idiots, the United States bears liability along with the Chinese for this catastrophic pandemic. Try to imagine, once these facts are “verified” by an international body, how long it will take for aggrieved people around the world to try to seize American assets in court or by force for compensation.
Since socialist/communist countries are not even close to “civilized”, I don’t think the list is long.
As for us? Nope, no longer civilized. Until the successful completion of CW-II.
Who cares about the origin. Let’s investigate all the totalitarian BS that has occurred!
Waste of time. Would get totally different answers if Trump or Biden sent the ‘team’ to investigate.
He will be chairman of the Health committee if GOP takes Senate ...
I think it’s significant he’s calling for an international convention.
This is how you start prosecuting the b@stards!
Isn’t this what happened to the Nazi’s ?
If you listen to George Webb, the trail may just lead back to some in the US coordinating with China you haven’t heard of yet. He’s supposedly been working on this non stop for 2 years.

My guess is we’ll probably never know the 100% real truth, no matter who was involved.
Count out the US.
A League of Democracies would be better. MFN status within. Everyone else gets nothing. Us/Aus/Uk dominate with the US as veto power. Some countries will come and go.
I want Rand Paul to go after Baric and Daszak as well as Fauci.
Yep. And good luck on getting EU countries to cooperate. There was no cat herding to get Nurmenberg to happen.
