Wuhan researchers were importing bat coronaviruses,
had applied for grants to increase their infectiousness
(gain-of-function research)
False impression given in journals

We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.
Bob Seely MP
It’s pathetic
You have this unholy and unethical alliance of scientists working together through highly influential publications effectively to kibosh what may be a scientific truth,
and get it pushed into the realms of conspiracy theory.
We need to be asking tough questions about the origins,
otherwise who knows what virus will be released next,
through incompetence and ambition and how many more millions it will be killing.
This is not some political game. We’ve got to find out where this thing came from.
If you had a virus that suddenly emerged a few hundred yards from Porton Down, this country would never be able to get away with it.
(Or a few miles from Camp Detrick, Maryland)

The conflict arises from the fact the researchers perform, and want to continue to perform, precisely the sorts of experiment that make a lab leak much more likely.
These include gain-of-function experiments, where they investigate whether they can enable, by genetic modification, an animal virus to infect human cells.
It is argued that this could help us identify potentially dangerous organisms in the wild and so prevent a pandemic. This seems unlikely.
What is more likely is that these organisms will infect those doing the experiments, who could unwittingly spread the virus to the community, and possibly the whole world
little justification for doing such experiments, except scientific curiosity and the desire for prestige
US position, Wuhan Institute of Virology
Case will be proved soon
Senate unanimously passed bill last week
House of Representatives
Republicans and Democrats voted, 419 – 0
Require Director of National Intelligence (Avril Haines) to declassify all intelligence
That includes,
activities performed by the Wuhan Institute of Virology with or on behalf of the People’s Liberation Army
coronavirus research or other related activities performed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology prior to the outbreak of Covid-19
WIV workers who got sick
90 days could be allowed after passing a bill
Department of Energy and the FBI
House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner
The American public deserves answers to every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic,
including how this virus was created and specifically,
whether it was a natural occurrence of was the result of a lab-related event
Dr Robert Redfield
former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
I still believe today that the data indicates that the outbreak of Covid 19 was more likely the result of a lab leak than as a result of a natural spillover event
Representative Greg Murphy
Believes Dr. Anthony Fauci, knew it came from the Wuhan lab and tried to cover it up.
In January of 2020, Dr. Fauci received emails that promulgated that COVID-19 looked engineered and not from the wild,
Yet three weeks later, to save his own skin, he commissioned a scientific paper which ‘debunked’ the lab theory.
He was academically and intellectually dishonest.
The truth is that Dr. Fauci and his institution funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to promote dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology without proper guardrails
Rep. Jim Himes
There’s not one iota of evidence for any of that
(Still wants evidence released)
At every juncture, the People’s Republic of China government has obfuscated and obstructed legitimate inquiries and investigations into the origins of the disease
China’s approach has been deeply irresponsible and dangerous to global public health
Mr Hancock
Asked to remove passages from Pandemic Diaries
Questioned the official Chinese version
Simon Case, Cabinet Secretary
Concerns, they would cause problems
could damage national security
Cabinet Office
Entirely coincidental that Covid-19 was discovered close to a Chinese government laboratory.
