GOP Rep. Says There's 'Credible' Evidence of Wuhan Lab-Leak Theory

From the very moment that the COVID-19 pandemic began, there were concerns that China wasn’t telling us the truth.

This was primarily based on Beijing’s horrendous record of dishonesty when it comes to the international community, which has been ever-so frequent in cases in which the Chinese government could be made to appear cruel or uncaring.

To be fair, it doesn’t take long for most to realize that this is, in fact, reality, especially as we continue to receive credible reports of the nation’s use of concentration camps and ethnic cleansing.

In the case of the coronavirus, not only did the world discover that the data coming out of Beijing was wholly incorrect, but that a laboratory specializing in the exact type of coronaviruses that caused COVID-19 happened to be just a few miles away from the epicenter of the pandemic.

Now, despite numerous attempts to stall or stymy efforts to investigate the theory that pandemic began as a lab-leak, one US lawmaker is claiming that there is credible evidence of just such a possibility.

Sunday, on FNC’s “The Next Revolution,” Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) stressed the importance of investigating the origins of COVID-19, and in particular, China’s role.

His statement was stern.

“As you know, we still have yet to have any notice that there will be an investigation. And so I think, rightfully, we used the powers of oversight that we have in Congress and we convened a hearing. Unfortunately, none of the Democrats attended that hearing. But the expert testimony from the witnesses was quite profound and quite significant.

“And I think as they said, and I would tend to agree that this virus came from the laboratory, whether it was a leak, whether it was accidental, whether it was intentional, whether it was manmade or whether it was a virus that they brought into the laboratory and then worked through gain-of-function research to enhance its human-to-human transmission and also its virulence or pathogenicity that that occurred in the laboratory and it least from the laboratory.

“So I think that right now, all the credible scientific information looks like it was, you know, a leak from a laboratory and it was not of zoonotic origin.”

The lab leak theory was originally considered a verboten conspiracy theory, with a number of left-leaning social media platforms banning talk of the possibility.  Those sites have been forced to backtrack on their previous censorship in recent weeks, as more and more mainstream scientists began to suggest that there is cause for investigation in this realm.
