Bombshell COVID-19 Origins Report
Sen. Roger Marshall releases a report on COVID-19 origins, calling for transparency and halting risky research.
Now that the COVID-19 crisis has officially ended, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D, has released a report on the origin of COVID-19. The report concludes that COVID-19 was a lab-created and altered virus, with two separate unintentional lab leaks dating back to the fall of 2019 in Wuhan, China.
The report also reveals that China was responding to the coronavirus months before the rest of the world was even aware of its existence, yet failed to inform the global community of the unfolding disaster. This is a crucial development in getting to the bottom of COVID-19's true origins and exposing the deception of those that sought to conceal how this pandemic started.
Many Americans have been sounding the alarm on the timeline of COVID-19's origins for over two years. In November 2021, Senators Marshall and Gillibrand joined forces with Senators Joni Ernst and Dianne Feinstein to introduce bipartisan legislation to create a 9/11-style commission to investigate COVID-19 origins and identify lessons learned regarding U.S. preparedness, response, and recovery to improve our ability to respond to future outbreaks.
Since then, Sen. Marshall has introduced the Chinese Communist Party Accountability Act, the Viral Gain of Function Research Moratorium Act, and the National BioSecurity Improvement Act to hold China accountable for its actions surrounding the earliest days of the outbreak and ensure federally-funded research involving potentially dangerous pathogens does not compromise national security.
The COVID-19 origins report is a crucial step towards understanding what happened and making sure it never happens again. We need more transparency from the U.S. government and China, as well, gain-of-function research must be stopped until we can establish additional guardrails to make sure risky lethal research never leaks again.
In the midst of the pandemic, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But we have the power to demand answers and take action to prevent future disasters. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to continue the fight for transparency and accountability.
