A bill that would compel the Biden administration to disclose all the intelligence it has obtained into the origins of COVID-19 has been unanimously approved by the House. Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) measure is now on President Joe Biden’s desk for signature.
The House vote follows a Department of Energy assessment, which was publicized by the Wall Street Journal, which concluded that the lab leak idea was the most likely explanation for how the SARS-CoV-2 virus originated.. The FBI’s statements affirming the lab leak as the most likely origin have lent further credence to the theory.
The vote happens after the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on the Covid Epidemic held hearings on Tuesday. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), the subcommittee’s chair, outlined the reasons why it is doubtful that the virus originated naturally.
“Covid-19 has both a binding domain optimized for human cells and a furin cleavage site, or a small part of the virus that makes it so infectious that has never been seen before in a SARS-related virus,” Wenstrup said. “In other words, Covid-19 has unique characteristics that made it very infectious to humans. These have never been seen before in any other viruses of its type.”
After Wenstrup set the stage with the documented facts, lawmakers and witnesses lined up to rip Fauci for misleading the American public.
Former CDC Director Robert Redfield shredded the “Proximal Origins” paper that Fauci had played a hand in.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was informed by Redfield that he was not included in conversations regarding the lab leak idea and that Redfield thinks SARS-CoV-2 was probably developed as a result of gain of function.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) then laid into Fauci for deceiving the public.

“He was trying to cover his backside, and everybody knows it,” Jordan said. “This is the highest paid guy in our govt. getting all kinds of money to tell us things that were not accurate. US tax dollars went to a lab in China, a lab that was not up to code, a lab that was doing gain of function research, and that’s where this thing most definitely came from and Dr. Fauci could not have that news getting out.”
Even FBI Director Wray weighed in.

“The FBI has long assessed, going all the way back to the summer of 2021, that the origin of the pandemic was likely a lab incident in Wuhan,” Wray said.
On Thursday, Dr. Anthony Fauci agreed to testify before Congress on the matter.

The declassification of intelligence on Covid origins would likely shed even more light on Fauci’s attempt to steer debate away from the Covid lab leak theory. It will be interesting to see if President Joe Biden, whose son has made millions from CCP-connected business deals, will sign onto the Congress’s effort to get transparency on the Covid origins matter.
