Senator Rand Paul urged Wednesday that those involved in funding the
Wuhan Institute of Virology’s coronavirus ‘gain of function’ research
cannot be allowed to be a part of investigations again.

Appearing on Fox News, Paul said “Here’s the problem. The WHO
investigated this the first time, we suggested three people to send to
China. They rejected all three and they accepted a guy named Peter
Daszak who was the one that funded the lab.”

The Senator continued “So you can’t have the people—like Anthony Fauci
or Peter Daszak—who are part of the funding mechanism to send these
funds to Wuhan lab. You can’t have them investigating themselves.”

“They have a definite conflict of interest because if this pandemic
started in a lab that the U.S. was funding, the people advocating for
the funding obviously will have culpability—at least moral
culpability,” Paul asserted.

Referring to the World Health organisation’s 3 hour visit to the Wuhan
lab in February, Paul stated “The WHO did a terrible job the first
time. There needs to be an investigation but I’ve been advocating for
a congressional investigation.”

Paul was one of five GOP Senators to put his name to a letter made
public this week demanding the unreacted release of “all records” from
Fauci, his deputy Hugh Auchincloss, NIH Director Francis Collins and
several other officials “referring or relating to the Wuhan Institute
of Virology, COVID-19, coronavirus, EcoHealth Alliance, or Dr. Baric’s
2015 coronavirus study.”

The Senators noted that “release of approximately 4,000 pages of NIH
email communications and other documents from early 2020 has raised
serious questions about NIH’s handling of COVID-19.”

“These documents, though heavily redacted, have shed new light on
NIH’s awareness of the virus’ origins in the early stages of the
COVID19 pandemic,” the senators noted in the letter to HHS Secretary
Xavier Becerra and NIH Director Collins.

The letter continues, “It is unclear the extent to which NIH
officials, including Dr. Fauci, considered the possibility that the
virus originated in a laboratory and what, if any, actions they took
to seriously investigate this possibility.”

The letter adds that “It is also unclear why NIAID officials
eventually decided to downplay the likelihood that the virus
originated in a laboratory and, instead, promote that it originated
naturally.”
