We believe it is time to completely exclude the market as a source of the virus, the document said
There is ample evidence that the virus that caused the Kovid-19 pandemic came from a research site in China. This is stated in a report by Republicans in the United States, published today, Reuters reported. The agency reminds that the American intelligence agencies have not reached the same conclusion yet, BTA reported.
The report says there is ample evidence that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, backed by U.S. experts and Chinese and U.S. government funds, have worked to modify coronaviruses to infect humans and such manipulations cannot be hidden.
Mike McCall, a member of the US House of Representatives, who is the highest-ranking Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, published the report prepared by Republicans on that committee. It calls for a bipartisan investigation into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic, which killed 4.4 million people worldwide.
China denies that the genetically modified coronavirus originated from the Wuhan Institute. A number of experts support this theory, but without any evidence for it. Beijing also denies allegations of attempts to cover up the pandemic. According to other experts, the pandemic was caused by an animal virus, which was probably transmitted to humans at an animal market near the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
We believe it is time to completely exclude the market as a source of the virus, says the report of the Republicans from the committee in the House of Representatives. We also believe that the prevailing evidence shows that the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and that it happened sometime before September 12, 2019, the document adds.
The report refers to new and insufficiently reported information on safety protocols in the laboratory, including a request from July 2019 for $ 1.5 million to repair the hazardous waste treatment system at the institute, which was previously installed under – less than two years.
In April, leading US intelligence agencies said that agree with the scientific consensus that the virus is not a human work or the result of genetic modification.
In May, US President Joe Biden ordered intelligence agencies to speed up work to find the origin of the virus and report to it within 90 days. A source close to the intelligence agencies said they had not yet reached any conclusions as to whether the virus came from animals or the Wuhan Institute.
