Senator Rand Paul as the ranking member of the Homeland Security committee has for years been requesting HHS and other agencies turn over specific information with regards to the origins of COVID 19.
As only a ranking member, and not the Chair, HHS and other agencies can and have ignored these requests. However Senator Paul is now the Chair of the Senate’s government oversight panel and the American people come Jan. are going to finally get the proof of who created this virus and who helped cover it up.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) on Thursday announced he would lead the Senate’s government oversight panel and prioritize investigations into the coronavirus pandemic, repeating his allegation that federal officials participated in a “covid coverup” related to the possible origins of the virus.
The libertarian senator has long maintained that government leaders have not been forthcoming about U.S. ties to virus research conducted in Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus outbreak was first detected in 2019.
In combative congressional hearings, infectious-disease experts such as Anthony S. Fauci, the longtime National Institutes of Health official who retired from government service in 2022, have insisted to Paul and other Republicans that while NIH funded the virus research, the work could not have sparked the pandemic. Paul has rejected those explanations.
“NIH and HHS have refused to turn over the documents as to why Wuhan got this research money and why it wasn’t screened as dangerous research,” Paul said on Fox News last week. “I’m looking forward to getting those [documents], mainly because we need to try to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
