House Republicans claim they’re being stonewalled by the intelligence community regarding the details of its investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
The minority on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released its report on the origins of COVID-19 this week, concluding that there are “indications” that COVID-19 may have been linked to the Chinese Communist Party’s bioweapons program and have been accidentally leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
Those findings are consistent with a report released by Senate Republicans in October, which concluded that COVID-19 “most likely” originated in the WIV. Scientists in the WIV were conducting gain-of-function research on bat-based coronaviruses, sometimes with taxpayer funding from the United States.

This illustration, created at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reveals ultrastructural morphology exhibited by coronaviruses. Note the spikes that adorn the outer surface of the virus, which impart the look of a corona surrounding the virion, when viewed electron microscopically. A novel coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China in 2019. The illness caused by this virus has been named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). by CDC is licensed under Unsplash unsplash.com
