former HHS Assistant Secretary Adm. Brett Giroir stated that he believes the Wuhan Institute of Virology is “the most likely origin” of the coronavirus, and that the circumstantial evidence in favor of that theory is “overwhelming and the lack of another explanation is equally overwhelming.”

Giroir said, “I do share the assessment of the Republican security committee that the most likely origin of this virus was the Wuhan Insitute of Virology. There is no specific smoking gun, but the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming and the lack of another explanation is equally overwhelming.”

CDC Director Admits It’s “Possible” COVID Came from Wuhan Lab.

Republican Sen. John Kennedy pressed CDC Director Rochelle Walensky during a Senate hearing Wednesday to follow up on a tense exchange last week between Dr. Anthony Fauci and Sen. Rand Paul on funding for so-called “gain of function” research in the Chinese lab at the center of COVID-19’s origins.

Kennedy questioned Walensky about whether the US provided funding to the Wuhan lab for the controversial research, which focuses on making a virus more potent in the laboratory as a way to produce better vaccines against it.

“Not to my knowledge,” she said, adding that Fauci would be the best person to answer that question.

“Fauci seems confused,” Kennedy responded.

“I’m asking, with all due respect, I’m asking you to give us that information: Where throughout the world, including, but not limited to the United States of America, are we doing research on these viruses to make them contagious in order to study them, that’s what I mean by ‘gain of function,’” Kennedy said.

Walensky said she would have her staff look into it.
