In a stunning result, both House Republicans and Democrats have unanimously voted to release the intel concerning the origin of the COVID-19 virus, forcing the Biden administration to lay its cards on the table and reveal where the Coronavirus got its start.
After many were called “conspiracy theorists” for coming to the conclusion that the virus came from a lab in Wuhan, China, information seen during the recent Oversight Committee hearings on COVID Origins effectively proved them all right.

Now, according to Fox News, in a 419-0 vote, House lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are sending a bill to President Biden to sign that would have the director of national intelligence to declassify all intelligence related to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its links to the COVID-19 virus. This comes after a unanimous vote in the Senate on the bill as well.
President Biden hasn’t signaled that he’ll veto the bill at this point, which is a sign that it will get signed.
North Carolina Republican Greg Murphy has made it clear he has Dr. Anthony Fauci on his mind as he awaits the declassified info.
“In January of 2020, Dr. Fauci received emails that promulgated that COVID-19 looked engineered and not from the wild,” Murphy said according to Fox News. “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,” he added.

Democrats like Jim Himes of Connecticut still hold that there’s no evidence of this but that the information will reveal if Murphy’s theory is true or not.
“The chairman [Turner] and I have seen all of the classified information on this, and we don’t know,” Himes said. “We don’t know the origins of the COVID pandemic. So whatever is ultimately declassified, I would hope that my colleagues and the American people would approach that information with the humility, the intellectual humility that we need to approach something as serious as a pandemic and how we behave as citizens in a democracy.”
While he claims to not have seen any evidence despite having seen all the info, the admonishing of the American people about their reaction to it before its released says a lot more. Clearly, there’s something in the files that won’t make Fauci look good.
At the very least, Himes believes China has done some very real damage and has tried to stop people from getting the info that proves it.
“At every juncture, the PRC [People’s Republic of China] government has obfuscated and obstructed legitimate inquiries and investigations into the origins of the disease,” Himes said. “China’s approach has been deeply irresponsible and dangerous to global public health.”
As Axios wrote, the bill tells the DNI to “redact only what’s necessary to protect sources and methods” but adds that this could be interpreted “liberally.” More information could be hidden than should be, and given the depth of this story, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if it is.
