As Republicans probe COVID's origins, some see an attack on science; others say it's long overdue
Briefly

Ohio Republican Brad Wenstrup express concerns about research on COVID's origins potentially putting the world at risk of a pandemic, leading to scrutiny of Dr. Peter Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance's compliance with grants and federal funding.
Hearings aim to address issues of non-compliance and potential repercussions on future funding for EcoHealth Alliance, with testimonies upcoming from Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding pandemic decision-making and email exchanges with Dr. David Morens.
Committee's focus on EcoHealth Alliance, Daszak, and Fauci signals a broader examination of the scientific community's role and actions during the pandemic, viewed by some as part of a campaign to discredit supportive scientists.
The exposure of e-mail exchanges trying to circumvent public records laws raises concerns about transparency and accountability in scientific research and decision-making processes surrounding the pandemic.
