National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard’s office collaborates with NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to probe the roots of the Covid-19 pandemic.
During a recent interview on Megyn Kelly’s podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, Gabbard expressed her resolve to halt gain-of-function research, a practice that involves enhancing pathogen traits for study purposes.
Uncovering the Truth
Gabbard aligns with the belief that the pandemic stemmed from a laboratory incident in Wuhan, China, diverging from the theory of zoonotic transmission supported by many virologists.
The recent unveiling of a webpage by the administration asserts the lab origin of the pandemic and accuses former NIH official Anthony Fauci of concealing pertinent information.
The Funding Debate
Gabbard highlighted the allocation of NIH grants towards gain-of-function research, attributing the pandemic to such controversial scientific endeavors.
Kennedy postulated in his 2023 publication, “The Wuhan Cover-Up: And the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race,” that a lab leak resulting from U.S.-backed research triggered the global crisis.
Regulatory Measures
Bhattacharya prioritizes the regulation of high-risk research activities during his tenure as NIH director, emphasizing the need for oversight in scientific exploration.
Varied Assessments
Divergent viewpoints within governmental agencies underscore the complexity of the pandemic’s origins. While some entities express confidence in the lab leak theory, others advocate for a natural genesis of the virus.
Call to Action
Gabbard advocates for the cessation of gain-of-function research to avert future health crises, emphasizing proactive measures to safeguard global well-being.
