Sens. Rand Paul and Gary Peters announced a bipartisan investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
announced they would launch the first governmentwide inquiry into the virus’s origins. It’s a cause that Paul has diligently pursued for the last three years and now his persistence has paid off.
“It is well past time for the Senate to conduct a bipartisan inquiry into the origins of COVID-19, and, as part of this investigation, we finally will be holding Committee hearings to do just that,” Paul said in a press release. “In order to prevent a more catastrophic pandemic from occurring, we must understand the nature of US-funded biotechnology and hold accountable those who engage in risky gain-of-function research.
Peters was equally enthusiastic and determined to find the virus’s origins. He saw this as a step in mitigating the risks of future pandemics and health security vulnerabilities. “Biotechnologies, such as CRISPR, are rapidly advancing, and our understanding of biological risks and threats is constantly evolving,” Peters said. “While many of these advancements have the potential to greatly benefit Americans, we must also ensure we are addressing and minimizing the serious risks they can also pose to our health and national security.
The bipartisan effort should be applauded. COVID-19 was a once-in-a-lifetime tragedy that devastated the nation’s economy. The government was inadequately prepared for such an event, and many Americans suffered as a result. These inefficiencies extended beyond health concerns and into arguably one of the most extensive violations of liberties in the country’s history.
