A US-based investigation of Covid origins should at minimum: 📧 Access all communications and data shared between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and US/international partners including but not limited to the EcoHealth Alliance (now shut down) and University of North Carolina 🧪 Assemble a team of scientists to curate and re-analyze relevant data and methodology e.g. relating to early cases, SC2 and close relative sequences, market and other animal/human sampling efforts 🕵️‍♀️ Evaluate the full range of intel available to US and its allies e.g. Germany's BND assessed lab origin with 80-95% certainty, US doctors in Wuhan said they heard of novel respiratory disease in mid Dec 2019, US intel says military was engaged in coronavirus research at the WIV, pangolin virus samples were sent there, and WIV staff were ill with possibly Covid in Nov 2019 📒 Search funding agencies, journals, databases and even commercial suppliers in the US and its allies for relevant proposals, reports, manuscripts, data entries, purchases And ideally be bipartisan and even international 🌏 in nature, appointing investigators and scientists with a wide range of starting points, so that its findings are not easily politicized. All of this could've been started in 2020 but here we are almost 7 years later with no such investigation in sight for a pandemic that harmed billions of people, killed at least 15 million people, caused an estimated $16 trillion in economic loss to the US alone, and pushed tens of millions of people around the world back into poverty and debt. Without a bipartisan or international consensus on how the pandemic most likely happened, little has been done to prevent it happening all over again. If Covid can be considered a "trigger event" to warn the world of worse bio-catastrophes, there hasn't been any meaningful course correction.
