Cat out of the bag: U.S committee says COVID-19 originated from a lab in Wuhan, reiterates social distancing and masking were not backed with scientific data

A congressional subcommittee has concluded its two year investigation into the origins of COVID-19 while releasing a comprehensive 520 page report that supports the theory that the virus likely originated from a laboratory in Wuhan located in China, reported Fox News.

According to Fox News, the report asserts that COVID-19 ‘most likely emerged from a laboratory’ and eventually highlights unique biological characteristics of the virus not found in nature. It actually indicated that all initial cases traced back to a single introduction to humans while challenging the idea of multiple spillover events from animals.

The subcommittee also criticized social distancing measures and mask mandates as lacking scientific support, asserted Fox News. During closed door testimony, Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged that the guidance for these measures ‘sort of just appeared’.

Furthermore, the report found ‘no conclusive evidence’ that wearing masks effectively protected US citizen from COVID-19.

The investigation revealed significant long term consequences from pandemic responses which actually included skyrocketing unemployment rates and substantial academic setbacks for children, noted Fox News. These findings align with earlier intelligence assessments suggesting a lab-related incident as the virus's origin while contributing to ongoing debates about its true source.
