The Chinese Communist Party and the World Health Organization are “culpable” for the spread of the CCP virus and the global pandemic could have likely been prevented had they acted differently, an audit by congressional Republicans stated.

The CCP engaged in active cover-up efforts of information surrounding the spread of the CCP virus, also known as the novel coronavirus, and the WHO enabled the cover-up by praising the CCP and “parroting” its speaking points, according to a report (pdf) released Monday by Republican members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
