RE: HOT: Final Congressional COVID Report, Confirms Lab Leak
Provenance: Four-message chain, 3 December 2024, 7:14–8:35 am · originated by an Open Source Specialist, WCPMC Chemical & Biological Department · 3 pages.
A same-morning alert circulating the Select Subcommittee’s final report on the pandemic, followed by three short replies widening the distribution and raising an unresolved coordination question.
The originating message reports that the Select Subcommittee released a 520-page final report the previous night, concluding its two-year investigation.
Per the summary, the report concludes COVID-19 most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan, criticises the WHO’s pandemic response and the US government’s handling of relief funds, mask mandates and vaccine development, and alleges corruption, misinformation and obstruction by officials and organisations including Dr. Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance and the CDC.
Five leading theories are listed as underpinning the committee’s conclusion, covering a biological characteristic said not to be found in nature, a single introduction into humans, Wuhan’s history of gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels, WIV researchers reported sick in autumn 2019, and the absence of surfaced evidence for a natural origin.
The sender undertakes to pull the full assessment into HIVE and to keep monitoring open source.
8:27 am — a Worldwide BW Analyst (WCPMC/CBD/WMAAB) adds a wider distribution list. 8:34 am — "Does Congress have any idea about the Germans?" 8:35 am — ODNI was going to give them a heads-up but the sender is unsure what happened to it; they probably need to engage OCA.
