This letter from members of US Congress to Ecohealtth Alliance contains some very interesting information related to a lab leak hypothesis ... it is fair to say that authoritative investigations of a lab leak are now proceeding on multiple fronts ⤵️

Some highlights and questions:
Does anyone actually have this review?
Here is that framework: phe.gov/s3/dualuse/Pag…
Why this database was shut down 12 Sept 2019 has never been satisfactorily answered.
"Hacking" doesn't cut it
The fact that the US Congress does not know the answers to these questions itself suggests that much stronger regulation of PPP research is needed
Similarly, hard to fathom how potential dual-use research could have been funded by the US government in another, potentially adversarial nation
Lab leak aside, this itself is incredible
Again, PPP research needs much stronger oversight
This is nuts
Whatever the ultimate findings of lab leak investigations, we already know enough to put in place much tighter regulations of and oversight for potential pandemic pathogens... seeing how incredibly lax everything was, if there hasn't been a lab leak, it would only be due to luck.
