The Republican-controlled House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, in a 520-page report, concluded that COVID-19 likely emerged from a laboratory accident.
Brad Wenstrup stated that understanding the pandemic's origins will help prepare for and potentially prevent future pandemics, highlighting the importance of addressing this issue.
The report alleges that the US National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which may have contributed to the outbreak.
Despite ongoing investigations into the virus's origins, a consensus remains elusive, with some researchers still advocating for a zoonotic transmission origin.
