Top members of Congress are calling on scientists who privately supported the theory that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus came from a laboratory but offered the exact opposite stance in public to answer questions under oath.
Many of the scientists in question, including Wellcome Director Dr. Jeremy Farrar, joined a teleconference in February 2020 with Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Dr. Francis Collins, until recently the head of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH). Despite many of them expressing in emails that the virus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, came from a Chinese lab, they soon published a paper claiming it originated from nature.
