LR @RepMcCaul "All roads lead to the #WIV. We know gain-of-function research was happening there & we know it was being done in unsafe conditions. We also now know the head of the Chinese CDC & the director of the WIV’s BSL-4 lab publicly expressed concerns ab safety at PRC labs.
"#CCP officials & scientists at the #WIV [then] began frantically covering up the leak, including taking their virus database offline in the middle of the night & requesting more than $1M for additional security. But their coverup was too late – the virus was already spreading.
“It is also concerning the scientific community told the American people for more than a year it was impossible to modify a virus without leaving a trace when this technology existed more than 14 years before the pandemic began.
"Researchers at the #WIV were also able to successfully modify coronaviruses without leaving a trace as early as 2016. Therefore it is no longer appropriate for anyone to dismiss the notion this virus could have been genetically modified before it leaked from the WIV.
“Now is the time to use all of the tools the U.S. gov has to continue to root out the full truth of how this virus came to be. That includes subpoenaing Peter Daszak to appear before this committee.
"It also includes Congress passing legislation to sanction scientists at the #WIV & #CCP officials who participated in this coverup. This was the greatest coverup of all time & has caused the deaths of more than 4 million people around world, and people must be held responsible."
