Two top House Republicans on Feb. 27 called on Biden administration agencies to release information they hold on the origins of COVID-19.
Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) made the request in the wake of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announcement that it now believes in a theory—once widely derided by many public health experts—that a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology laboratory in Wuhan, China, was the source of the global COVID-19 pandemic that has killed an untold number of people in China, 6.9 million people worldwide, and more than 1 million in the United States.
