Opinion: Is Biden silencing the world's premier spy agency over COVID?
Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe joins 'America's Newsroom' following the Energy Department's announcement that COVID likely originated in a lab.This week, the House Oversight Committee hosted a hearing on the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, with multiple expert witnesses pointing to the strong likelihood that it spawned from a leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
During a Senate confirmation hearing in 2020 – the first in-person Senate hearing after the pandemic began – one of us promised publicly to, upon confirmation, ensure the intelligence community was"laser focused" on getting to the bottom of the virus’ origins. Once in office, we worked with partners across the intelligence community to make this issue a priority.
Here’s the reality: There is a complete absence of intelligence or scientific evidence that the virus naturally occurred in nature. President Trump was being truthful in 2020 when a reporter asked him if he had seen evidence that the virus originated in the Wuhan lab and he said simply,"Yes, I have."
National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins testifies before a hearing on Capitol Hill on May 26, 2021.National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins urged his colleagues to promote that the virus was naturally occurring for the sake of"international harmony." In fact, many in the scientific community downplayed the lab leak theory.
