Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Issues Final Report: ‘Likely Emerged’ From Wuhan Lab
Among the conclusions: Pandemic began with the lab leak, Biden’s HHS obstructed investigation, and NIH’s procedures for “overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security.”
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic first convened in February 2023, about three years after the country became aware of the spread of the novel coronavirus that eventually morphed into the endemic coronavirus we have today.
Now, as President-Elect Donald Trump prepares to return to Washington, D.C., with an entirely new administration filled with members who are “expert-skeptical,” the subcommittee has released a 520-page final report that slams nearly every aspect of the pandemic response and criticizes the scientists and organizations apparently responsible for the origins of the virus.
The document is available online (click HERE). The group also published a summary of the low lights, starting with their conclusion that the pandemic began as a lab leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (as I had theorized back in February 2020).
COVID ORIGIN: The SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, China. The five strongest arguments in favor of the “lab leak” theory include:
- The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
- Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
- Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels.
- Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
- By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced.
The report targeted the World Health Organization (WHO) as well, asserting its response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a complete failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties. The subcommittee warned that, based on this incident, the WHO’s proposed “Pandemic Treaty” may harm our nation should our country ever sign onto it.
Then, the subcommittee examined the response developed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, Dr. Deborah Birx, and all the other public health officials who were cited to support the preferred pandemic narratives.
- Social distancing: The “6 feet apart” recommendation was arbitrary and not based on science.
- Mask mandates: There was no conclusive evidence that masks effectively protected Americans from covid.
- Lockdowns: Prolonged lockdowns caused immeasurable harm to not only the American economy, but also to the mental and physical health of Americans, with a particularly negative effect on children and teens.
- Long-term impacts: School closures resulted in significant learning loss for children and increased mental health concerns.
- Government response: The report criticized various aspects of the federal and state governments’ handling of the pandemic, including relief fund oversight and vaccine mandates..
The report also blasted the Biden administration’s Health and Human Services department, which engaged in a multi-year campaign of “delay, confusion, and non-responsiveness” in an attempt to obstruct the investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials. The analysis suggests that HHS intentionally under-resourced its component that responds to legislative oversight requests.
The subcommittee’s review took EcoHealth Alliance and its president, Peter Daszak, to task for a wide range of obstruction and failures:
- EcoHealth Alliance used U.S. taxpayer dollars to facilitate dangerous gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
- EcoHealth violated NIH grant terms by failing to report a potentially dangerous gain-of-function experiment conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
- Daszak obstructed the Select Subcommittee’s investigation by providing publicly available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and pace of productions, and doctoring documents before releasing them to the public.
- Daszak provided false statements to Congress.
The report indicates that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into EcoHealth’s pandemic-era activities. With Team Trump poised to take over the DOJ, that research organization will receive intense scrutiny.
Finally, the report reviewed the role of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in this fiasco, concluding the NIH’s procedures for “funding and overseeing potentially dangerous research are deficient, unreliable, and pose a serious threat to both public health and national security“. The subcommittee concluded that the NIH fostered an environment that promoted evading federal record keeping laws.
You can be sure Trump’s new NIH head, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya (a Stanford physician and economist who challenged the lockdown policies directly) will be reviewing the findings and conclusions with great interest, along with all the others tasked by Trump with to “restore trust” American public health system.

You mean the China virus came from China? Well, I’ll be.
Maybe not. The Chinese did the research, but the project was American.
I’m waiting to hear about bat vaccine research that originated in the US and moved to China.
I’m not sure of my sources on this, but things are trending toward this.
And the SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan came from the SARS-CoV-2 Virology Insitute of Wuhan
Perhaps the project started at UNC Chapel. If it so, it went from there to China. China fiddled around with it and then, due to lax security or maybe on purpose, it was let loose and spread from Wuhan throughout the world.
Wuhan, baby.
According to a fact witness from the Chy-na bioweapons program, it is a weapon. It was intentionally released
Do you think the threat of nukyaleer holocaust and hell will deter them from starting WWIII if they can avoid Trump 47?
I just don’t believe they would release the virus by spreading it among workers at their own Institute. They were the first to catch it and the first to die.
The University of Texas Medical School in Galveston and the Medical School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had contracts to teach the Wuhan lab techs virus safety control techniques.
I agree. I’ve said all along that the Chinese (or any other intelligent government, which might exclude our own) would not purposefully deploy a weapon on the doorstep of the lab that developed it if they had any desire to obscure the weapon’s origin. Personally, I would have deployed it at the airport in Hong Kong, so it would spread around the world quickly and efficiently, and could be attributed to some unknown “patient zero” at the airport who infected others while there.
“Intentional release” makes no sense, even if the lab was developing it as a bioweapon. This purpose for its development, if so, would be a factor not necessarily related to how it got loose.
I recall hearing interesting reports that first January when news was breaking about an infectious disease spreading in China;
Specifically – that Taiwanese intelligence sources were reporting spreading outbreaks of a mysterious Chinese-based disease as early as October. And that Taiwanese embassy officials were warning – with little effect- their international counterparts about this strange, highly infectious, mystery disease.
That Chinese officials allowed expatriate infected workers – on leave for the lunar new year – to return to Milan, Italy (and points across the globe) where the contagion spread like wildfire.
And of course all the rumors swirling about the Wuhan wet-market animal trading and bio lab technicians selling live lab animals into the wet markets and bats and later raccoon dogs etc.
By mid-February we had the general outline of events in hand, and that’s when government-media stepped with its censorship and false narratives to muddy the data pool.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens in China comes to America sooner or later.
I don’t understand the reference the wet market in the report. There has never been any evidence that the virus had either its source in the wet market nor was it the site of the first mass transmission.
But the wet market does, in my estimation, factor into the tale. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the WIV is located in a city with a large wet market. I believe the WIV was purposefully located there so that the wet market could take the blame for an accidental release from the WIV. In this instance, it wasn’t much help as the virus that got loose so obviously did not have a zoonotic origin, having several markers indicating it was developed in a lab.
“I don’t understand the reference the wet market in the report. There has never been any evidence that the virus had either its source in the wet market nor was it the site of the first mass transmission.”
No evidence at all. But shit-tons of fake-news reports, including from China itself.
Well, its always lovely to get a nice report with lots of bullet points and a long bibliography, but we actually knew all of this in nearly real time as the scamdemic was unfolding.
What did we wind up paying for this morsel of information?
Never mind. Let’s do it again! I never tire of hearing politicians “discovering” these facts for the eleventeenth time. As long as they are never actually going to do anything about it, let’s not deny them their participation trophies.
