Major Senate Report Finds Two Lab Leaks Caused the COVID Pandemic, Cites Far Earlier Timeline

A new comprehensive US Senate report on the origins of COVID-19 is pointing to at least two different lab leaks ultimately causing the worldwide pandemic. According to Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), a lack of change in operations by both the Chinese and the United States could lead to another outbreak as well.

While speaking to reporters (Just the News), Marshall bemoaned the fact that gain-of-function research was being done at the Wuhan facility and noted that there’s no indication that China has changed its procedures. US money is still flowing to Chinese labs despite the communist state’s attempts to cover up its role in starting the COVID-19 pandemic.

Another interesting aspect of the report is when the first leak allegedly occurred. It sets the timeline back much further than originally suspected.

“This report concludes most likely this was two leaks,” Marshall said during a briefing with reporters ahead of the release of the report. “The possibility of a lab leak in the September-October [2019] time frame, even as early as July or August, was followed by vaccine development in November 2019. And then another lab leak seems to be the most sensible explanation in this retrospective review.”

The report suggests that China could have been covering up a leak as far back as July or August of 2019. That’s determined by the fact that the Chinese began vaccine development in November of 2019, according to documents obtained by Marshall and other senators. The supposition past that is because the virus didn’t start spreading until early 2020, another leak must have occurred at the unsecured Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The report further determined that gain-of-function research was occurring in Wuhan despite US legal prohibitions against it.

The report determined that the U.S. government was funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

“I think we’re in no better shape today than we were a year ago, three years ago, as far as I’m concerned,” Marshall said in response to a question from Just the News.

“There’s nothing proving to me that they’re doing this type of research in BSL-4 labs,” he continued. “Their own documents continue to show that they’re understaffed, that they don’t have the right facilities to do it in, a huge concern. That’s why we’ve been calling for a halt in all viral gain-of-function research until we get the guardrails around it.”

That part of this saga would seem to implicate Dr. Anthony Fauci, who signed off on the research while skipping over a normally required review by an NIH board. Fauci continues to publicly mislead on the matter, insisting that gain-of-function research isn’t actually gain-of-function research. For its part, EcoHealth Alliance, which received the grant used in Wuhan, was allowed to change the definition to avoid scrutiny.

Why would the left be so defensive of the CCP and the Wuhan Lab? This could have been resolved 3 years ago (it is fairly obvious) but Democrats have been doing everything they can to stonewall it and head it off.

Why?
