Agents with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) were preparing to question a British zoologist and disease ecology expert upon his return to the United States from the World Health Organization’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19, before the FBI intervened and asked agents to stand down, according to files released Monday by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
"They told the public a COVID lab leak 'wasn’t plausible,'" Rand wrote on X. "Their own private messages say otherwise. Today I’m launching The Reading Room where the public can review records related to my ongoing investigation – not just conclusions but the actual documents."
The documents show CBP’s National Targeting Center flagged Peter Daszak as "a high person of interest" ahead of his Feb. 5, 2021, arrival at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Daszak, the former president of EcoHealth Alliance, was flagged because of more than 15 years of collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) and his longstanding relationship with its lead researcher, Zhengli Shi, as well as his role as principal investigator on National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants funding bat coronavirus research in China.
Much of the funding Daszak received was put toward gain-of-function research, the documents state.
The documents highlight that the NIH had asked Daszak to retrieve the original type-specimen used by WIV for genetic analysis and return it to the U.S., as well as to explain several aspects of his collaboration with the lab, including providing related cell phone data.
CBP officials planned to question Daszak on his activities in China, his contacts at the WIV, and whether he illegally collected or carried biological samples.
Internal communications highlighted concerns regarding Daszak’s involvement in gain-of-function research and potential conflicts of interest involving federal grants.

Finding that took some due diligence...Rand is good at research.
“Rand is good at research”
And being an insufferable contrarian......other than that however...
It wasn’t a “lab leak,” it was a deliberate, multi location release and infection as a bioweapon. Why are Fauxi and Brit still breathing air?
Do not forget that Daszak wrote an a letter he didn’t sign but was signed by a bunch of big virologists and scientists stating Wuhan lab WAS NOT the source of the Covid virus. Fauci was in on the letter. Lancet published the letter. Lancet found out Daszak had written the letter and published a disclaimer because Daszak had a conflict of interest. People in Daszak circle risk the careers and reputation to try to cover up what Wuhan lab was doing.
Who in the FBI? Name names!
It’s time to indict Chris Wray as an accomplice in the murder of over 20 million people.
Daszak, Fauci, Wray and so many others killed 20 million because of TDS
Useless Rand finally does something useful. The last two years Rand has been in orbit.
Peter Daszak is criminal #2 right behind criminal #1 Fauci.
In a just world, they both would hang in public after confessing their murders of millions of people. Maybe if they showed some contrition, they could be shot before being hung, as a courtesy. But I doubt they would; they’re arrogant to their last evil breath.
Because we have a Congress that protects each other. NO MATTER WHAT.
“Because we have a Congress that protects each other. NO MATTER WHAT.”
One of the many reasons we need at least one contrarian like Rand Paul.
That contains a lot of names of people giving Anthony Fauci the FBIAA Distinguished Service Award.

What he said
And why is that? I’ll tell you why…
“They” OWN the “law,” investigation, prosecution, appeal, and incarceration apparatus. No one of “Their” clique will ever pay, because the entire system exists for “Their” protection, not yours or mine. Isn’t that plain to see now?
Five years is no indicator of “good”. He is a hack.
