Biden Shut Down Effort to Prove COVID Started in Lab

Biden Shut Down Effort to Prove COVID Started in Lab


From the story: President Joe Biden’s team shut down a closely-held State Department effort launched late in the Trump administration to prove the coronavirus originated in a Chinese lab over concerns about the quality of its work, according to three sources familiar with the decision. The existence of the State Department inquiry and its termination this spring by the Biden administration — neither of which has been previously reported — comes to light amid renewed interest in whether the virus could have leaked out of a Wuhan lab with links to the Chinese military. The Biden administration is also facing scrutiny of its own efforts to determine if the Chinese government was responsible for the virus (CNN). From Tom Cotton: The Biden administration *shut down* the work to identify the origins of COVID. If “quality of the evidence” was the problem, why hasn’t the Biden Team launched their own investigation? (Twitter).
