House COVID-19 Report: Lab Leak Confirmed, Accountability Demanded

Published: April 18, 2025

The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has concluded its comprehensive two-year investigation, releasing a 520-page report that presents compelling evidence pointing to a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) as the most probable origin of COVID-19. This report underscores significant lapses in oversight and transparency by U.S. health agencies and international partners, raising urgent questions about accountability and future safeguards.  KLZ has the full report for you, right here.

Key Findings

• Lab Origin Likely: The virus exhibits unique biological characteristics not found in nature, and all cases trace back to a single introduction point, suggesting a lab-related incident over natural spillover.
• Gain-of-Function Research: U.S. taxpayer funds, channeled through EcoHealth Alliance under Dr. Peter Daszak, supported gain-of-function research at WIV, conducted under inadequate biosafety conditions.
• Suppression of Lab Leak Theory: Internal communications reveal that Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Francis Collins influenced the scientific narrative to favor a natural origin, sidelining alternative hypotheses.
• Obstruction and Misconduct: Officials, including Dr. David Morens, engaged in activities such as deleting federal records and sharing nonpublic information, hindering the investigation’s progress.

Recommendations for Accountability

• Legal Actions: Pursue perjury charges against individuals who provided false testimony to Congress.
• Funding Reforms: Implement stricter oversight of NIH grants, especially those involving high-risk research in foreign laboratories.
• Transparency Measures: Mandate full disclosure of all communications and documents related to COVID-19’s origins and the government’s response.
• Institutional Reforms: Restructure agencies like the NIH and HHS to ensure accountability and prevent future misconduct.

As we reflect on these findings, it’s imperative to hold those responsible accountable and to implement measures that safeguard public health and trust in our institutions.
