Last month, Great Britain launched a Covid-19 inquiry into how the nation responded to the pandemic and what lessons to draw for the future.
Sadly, the inquiry is spending little time and energy on the origins of the pandemic. The “lab leak” theory has grown more and more likely in recent months as evidence emerged that in November 2019 three scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology became seriously ill with symptoms similar to those of Covid-19. Senator Rand Paul has revealed that some of the funding for the Wuhan’s “gain of function” work on the virus came from the U.S. government even after warnings were issued that such research was unwise.
