We made mistakes during COVID, but some guessed better. Some said closing schools was wrong, now it's acknowledged the virus could have started in a lab. We overreacted, did silly things, and embraced bad ideas. Dissenting opinions were right. No COVID commission, no lessons learned. Gain of function research continues, animals are still mistreated. Money was stolen, blame put on Biden. Trump ignored COVID.

Biden officials now acknowledge the COVID lab leak theory, which was previously dismissed as a conspiracy. Experts and scientists have consistently debunked the idea that the virus originated from a lab in Wuhan, asserting it likely came from a wildlife market where bats were present. The scientific consensus is that the virus was not man-made or genetically modified. Claims suggesting otherwise have been labeled as misinformation, with many emphasizing the dangers of spreading such theories, which can lead to xenophobia and panic. Investigations into the lab leak theory have been deemed unnecessary by the WHO, as the origins of the virus are believed to be natural.

There is evidence suggesting that the Chinese Communist Party leaked the virus from a laboratory in Wuhan. They hid the truth about person-to-person transmission, which hindered our response. The Chinese Communist Party continues to conduct risky research, even using American funds. We recently discovered they are working on a COVID virus that affects the brain. We need a moratorium on this type of research. Witnesses who could provide information have mysteriously died, and the Chinese Communist Party has removed DNA sequences that could prove our theory. We must prevent future situations by stopping gain of function research and not aiding our enemies. The scientific community in China collaborates with the military and the CCP, posing a serious threat to us.

This virus likely did not originate naturally; it stems from scientific arrogance. In the early pandemic days, there were claims about a wet market origin, but evidence soon emerged showing many cases unrelated to it. By early January, I informed the National Security Council and Anthony Fauci that the virus was highly infectious in humans, suggesting a lab origin. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is well-known for coronavirus research, making the lab leak theory plausible. Despite discussions, Fauci maintained a focus on the wet market hypothesis, disregarding other possibilities. I believed a broader scientific investigation was necessary, but only a single hypothesis was considered.

Three years ago, anyone suggesting that COVID-19 originated from a lab was dismissed and censored. Doctor Redfield faced backlash for suggesting it came from a Wuhan lab. Doctor Fauci received emails from doctors Anderson and Gary stating that the virus appeared engineered and not consistent with evolutionary theory. However, he did not share these emails with Redfield or the CDC. Three days later, Anderson and Gary changed their stance, and the only intervening event was a conference call with Fauci. It is worth noting that Anderson and Gary later received a $9 million grant from Fauci. This raises questions about their sudden change in position.

From the start, the lines were drawn regarding the virus's origins. I believed it came from a lab, while others disagreed. My position as head of the CDC was undermined, and I was told it was a White House decision. I find that hard to believe; it seems like a cover-up. Why would we share advanced biotechnology with China? I doubt the measures in place will be foolproof; issues will arise. There have been multiple lies throughout this situation.

President Trump promised to deliver the full American story of what led to the pandemic and is keeping that promise. The goal is to let the chips fall where they may and ensure the American people know the truth. Trump is also delivering on a commitment to prevent future pandemics caused by dangerous scientific experiments. The aim is to never repeat the actions that endangered the world in the lead-up to the pandemic.

Five years ago, when an episode discussing COVID-19 origins came out, people reacted negatively. The speaker believed the episode was correct, and now the COVID-19 website is up, possibly due to Bobby Kennedy's influence. The New York Times reported the virus may have originated in a lab, but the speaker feels they were misled by the media itself. There have been no apologies or corrections from mainstream media, who are now presenting this information as if it's new. The speaker contrasts this with a hypothetical scenario: if podcasters had encouraged experimental shots and people experienced complications, mainstream news would have blamed the podcasters for side effects, unnecessary deaths, strokes, and other issues, potentially calling for their platforms to be shut down.

Republicans on the subcommittee recount two years of work aimed at linking the COVID-19 origin to a Wuhan lab, arguing that Democrats hindered the pursuit of truth by blocking hearings. They contend mounting evidence supports a lab-origin, and they frame the hearing as a step toward uncovering the truth for Americans who have suffered from COVID-19. Dr. Redfield is cited as having pointed to the lab-leak hypothesis as early as 2020, urging Fauci, Jeremy Farrar, and Tedros to take the lab-leak possibility seriously and to investigate both lab-origin and natural-origin hypotheses. Farrar convened an 11-scientist meeting across five time zones on February 1, inviting Fauci to join, with a note to treat the matter in total confidence. Redfield notes he was excluded from that call despite being included in prior discussions, and asks why he was left out. Emails following the February 1 conference show the four scientists who had attended later told Fauci that they found the genetic sequence inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory. Yet, just three days later, these four scientists drafted the proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 paper, arguing the opposite. The subcommittee asks for the likelihood that these scientists, after making that earlier statement, could conclude with such certainty that COVID-19 came from nature instead of a lab leak, and suggests Fauci prompted the paper to discredit the lab-leak theory. Speaker 0 characterizes the February 2020 approach as antithetical to science, saying science requires debate and that this process squashed debate. They ask whether Fauci used the proximal-origin paper to hide gain-of-function research that created the virus. Speaker 1 responds that they cannot speak to Fauci’s motivation but asserts the paper is inaccurate and part of a narrative to support a natural-origin story. They state the pandemic did not start in January at the seafood market, noting infections as early as September, and allege a narrative was decided to claim a wet market origin and to negate discussion about a laboratory origin. With twenty seconds left, Speaker 0 raises a point that Fauci was told in January 2020 about NIH’s monetary relationship with the Wuhan Institute through EcoHealth Alliance and asks whether Fauci intentionally lied under oath when denying NIH funding of gain-of-function research. Speaker 1 asserts there is no doubt NIH funded gain-of-function research and adds that American tax dollars funded gain-of-function research from NIH, the State Department, USAID, and DOD. The exchange ends with Speaker 0 noting time and recognizing Ms. Dink.

This virus likely did not originate naturally; it stems from scientific arrogance. In the early pandemic, there were claims about a wet market being the source, but evidence soon showed many cases unrelated to it. By early January, it was clear the wet market narrative was misleading. I informed the National Security Council and Anthony Fauci that the virus was highly infectious, suggesting it had been engineered in a lab. The Wuhan Institute of Virology is well-known for coronavirus research, making the lab leak theory plausible. Despite discussions, Fauci maintained a focus on the wet market hypothesis, dismissing the need for broader scientific investigation.

We did not fund gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The NIH has acknowledged funding research on a bat coronavirus that was enhanced in a lab, making it more contagious. Senator Paul questioned whether I wish to retract my statement from May 11, asserting that the NIH never funded gain of function research in Wuhan. I stand by my statement and have never lied before Congress. The NIH provided grants to the EcoHealth Alliance for experiments with bat coronaviruses in Wuhan. If anyone is lying, it is you, Senator. Evidence suggests the virus may have originated from the lab, and those who funded it will be held responsible. The NIH admitted to funding controversial gain of function research, contradicting my earlier claims. I maintain that I have not lied before Congress. Case closed.

The CIA has released a low confidence assessment suggesting that COVID likely originated from a lab leak rather than naturally. The Biden administration has hindered progress in uncovering the truth about COVID's origins, despite Congress passing a measure to declassify information related to the lab leak theory. The administration has yet to release this information, but this new finding marks a significant turning point, indicating that the virus did not arise from natural sources.

I did not try to downplay the lab leak theory. I have kept an open mind and looked at the facts. Many people find it surprising. That's all I have to say. Thank you.

The speaker believes the government lied about the origins of COVID. Upon starting their job, the speaker claims to have immediately ordered that case to be looked into again. They assert that everyone lied to the American people on purpose. The speaker expresses optimism about finding out the truth and states they have a great investigator working on the case. They anticipate seeing action on the matter shortly.

The lines were drawn early on regarding the virus's origins. I believed it came from a lab, but others disagreed. After being sidelined from the CDC, I was informed it was the White House's decision. I find that hard to believe; it feels like a cover-up. Why would we share advanced biotechnology with China? I doubt this situation will be foolproof; issues will arise. There have been repeated lies throughout this process.

COVID-19 had telltale signs of being made in a laboratory from the beginning. The CIA has stated the virus came from a lab, but what they didn't say is that it was almost surely made in a US laboratory, possibly at the University of North Carolina, and may have been tested in a Chinese laboratory. The Biden administration hid this. One theory is that US scientists wanted to test the virus on a specific bat population in the Wuhan facility. The FBI should crack the case, as it is an inside US job. The University of North Carolina is withholding 2019 emails and fighting to keep them from public scrutiny. There is reason to believe that Tony Fauci funded reckless, dangerous research that went awry.

COVID-19 originated in a lab, and it took too long to reach this conclusion due to the suppression of debate, often framed as a fight against racism. Big tech censored discussions about the virus's origins, which only fueled misinformation. We must learn from this history to avoid repeating mistakes. As president, I commit to holding accountable those responsible for the pandemic's origin, including using financial measures against the CCP, imposing sanctions on officials, and investigating U.S. officials involved in gain-of-function research. It's time to move beyond complaints and focus on delivering real solutions. You have my commitment to do so.

If COVID-19 originated from risky experiments at the Wuhan lab, it's important to note that the lab received funding from America. During a congressional hearing, Senator Paul questioned Dr. Fauci about the NIH's funding of gain-of-function research in Wuhan, to which Fauci denied lying. However, a scientific paper from 2012 written by Fauci supports the benefits of gain-of-function research despite the risk of a pandemic. The decision to lift the ban on gain-of-function research during the Trump administration remains unclear. Former President Trump mentioned that Fauci did not inform him about the Wuhan Institute of Virology's activities, and emails later revealed Fauci's discussions about the possibility of genetic manipulation. Trump stopped the payments to the Chinese lab upon discovering them. Despite the controversy, Trump believes his administration did a great job with the vaccine and Operation Warp Speed.

We previously discussed how Trump was briefed on the origins of COVID-19. Initially, there was skepticism about the virus coming from China, with various narratives, including the wet bat theory, being promoted. Recently, it was revealed that Gina Haspel, as CIA director, authorized payments to six intelligence officers to alter their assessments on COVID's origins. This decision aimed to align with the narratives pushed by Fauci and the media, preventing Trump from receiving credit for accurate intel. Now, years later, many still view this as a conspiracy. It's crucial to continue investigating these matters, as more instances of misconduct may emerge through courageous whistleblowers and congressional oversight.

We previously discussed how Trump was briefed on COVID's origins based on available intelligence. Initially, there was strong denial from Fauci and the media about the virus's origins, promoting alternative theories like the wet bat narrative. Recently, it was revealed that Gina Haspel, as CIA director, authorized payments to six analysts to alter their assessments on COVID's origins. This decision was made to align with the narrative favored by Fauci and the media, preventing Trump from receiving credit for accurate intel. Now, years later, many still dismiss this as a conspiracy. It's crucial to continue investigating these issues, as more instances of misconduct may emerge through whistleblowers and congressional oversight, which gives hope for accountability.

Doctor Fauci misled the country by withholding key information about the origins of the virus. He knew American tax dollars funded a lab in Wuhan conducting gain-of-function research. Despite this, he did not disclose the lab's deficiencies or compliance issues. Fauci organized a conference call with virologists who changed their tune on the lab leak theory shortly after. The government failed to share the truth, leading to misinformation about the virus's origins. The Director of National Intelligence believes Fauci and Collins withheld information to avoid scrutiny over their relationships with the lab in China.

COVID-19 originated in a lab, and it took too long to acknowledge this due to the suppression of debate through accusations of racism. Big tech censored discussions about the virus's origins in the name of preventing misinformation, which ironically led to more confusion. We must learn from this history to avoid repeating mistakes. As president, I commit to holding accountable those responsible for the pandemic's origin, including using financial measures against the CCP and investigating U.S. officials who may have contributed to the crisis through gain-of-function research. It's time to move beyond complaints and focus on solutions. You have my commitment to do just that.

Scientists and the general public initially followed the guidance of Fauci and the NIH without question, while demonizing those who suggested the Lab Leak theory. However, now the theory is widely accepted, along with many other previously censored conspiracies. People believed they were doing the right thing by following guidelines to stop the spread of the virus, but we need to remember what happened. The speaker emphasizes the importance of not forgetting this playbook for future situations. They mention Bill Gates' actions and how he withdrew his investment in a company and started downplaying the vaccine's effectiveness. They also note the disappearance of the flu and warn against forgetting these events.

I was accused of being part of a propaganda effort to censor those questioning the origin of the virus. I stand by my assertion that the virus is not a lab construct, which aligns with the intelligence community's conclusion. I cannot control how my work is used. It is wrong to censor and lie to the public, and I should have done better.
