Conservatives in the House of Representatives claimed it had “spilled over” into the public.
Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have given evidence suggesting that an event at China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology may have been the origin of the deadly COVID-19 virus. FOX News was the first to report the breaking news.
The leak, which happened late on Wednesday, originated in the minority staff report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
The executive summary claims “there are indications that SARS-CoV-2 may have been tied to China’s biological weapons research program and spilled over to the human population during a lab-related incident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” which contradicts the implication of the declassified report by the Intelligence Community. The IC didn’t seem to care about our concerns, even after we told them about them.
However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence stated its skepticism regarding claims that SARS-CoV-2 was a biological weapon in a declassified study on the origins of COVID-19 published in October 2021.
Members of the Republican majority in the House were quoted as saying that the report’s omissions “likely distorted the public’s comprehension of core themes and heightened skepticism.” Meanwhile, the probe uncovered “severe faults with both the secret and unclassified versions of the Intelligence Community.”
According to the report’s authors, the CIA “refuses to be forthright with the Committee regarding whose expertise it relied on” in determining whether or not COVID-19 is associated with China’s bioweapons program.
Ohio Republican Brad Wenstrup told Fox News Digital that it is essential for the public to know who made the initial discovery of the COVID-19 epidemic.
More research on COVID-19’s genesis is necessary for effective American defense. Our research shows that the IC may have concealed evidence connecting COVID-19 to China’s bioweapons development program, which has eroded public confidence and faith in individuals who were democratically elected to safeguard American interests. At least, according to Wenstrup’s assessment. Our findings suggest that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has greater responsibility for the COVID-19 pandemic than is commonly believed in the United States.
The U.S. military and medical community are researching to determine where the COVID-19 pandemic began.
Despite the study’s claims, we have uncovered no indication that the virus was intentionally spread.
Not that we’re attempting to argue that. Since “this material is vital to improving public awareness,” the study authors vow to lobby for declassifying the classified portion of their report during the upcoming Congress.
