Lawmakers and medical experts are calling for continued scrutiny into the origins of COVID-19 following a Wednesday hearing of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.

During the Wednesday hearing, former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Director Dr. Robert Redfield; Dr. Jamie Metzl, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council; author and journalist Nicholas Wade; and Dr. Paul Auwaerter, professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, shared their analyses of the competing theories that COVID-19 was the result of a natural outbreak or that it was the result of a laboratory leak.
