If the virus did originate in the Wuhan lab, did U.S. taxpayers help fund the related research? Fred Lucas writes:
The trove of newly public emails from Dr. Anthony Fauci only has intensified calls for more answers about the origins of COVID-19.
On some level, the executive branch and Congress are investigating the origins of the pandemic that has killed millions around the world and almost 600,000 in the United States.
The renewed attention comes amid mounting circumstantial evidence that the new coronavirus that causes the disease came from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Fauci, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told a Senate panel May 11 that the United States didn’t help fund research at the Wuhan lab that involved making the virus more contagious or otherwise dangerous.
