WASHINGTON—In an op-ed published today on Fox News, House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) emphasized the importance of determining the origins of COVID-19 and holding Dr. Fauci, EcoHealth Alliance, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) accountable for concealing dangerous, taxpayer-funded experiments conducted on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab in China. “The American people have many questions for Dr. Fauci and we are determined to get answers. For the past two years, Republicans on the House Oversight and Reform Committee have called for Dr. Fauci to testify before the committee and provide documents and information related to our investigation into COVID origination. However, Democrats have shielded Dr. Fauci from any meaningful congressional oversight and have refused to invite him to appear before the committee. The origin of COVID-19—a virus with a death toll surpassing one million Americans and then six million globally—is a question that must be answered. Discovering the origin is vital to providing accountability and protecting Americans in the future,” wrote Ranking Member James Comer. “We need all of Dr. Fauci’s emails and communications surrounding the origin of COVID-19, the NIH’s documents on experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology as well as EcoHealth Alliance’s involvement. The American people deserve accountability, and Republicans are determined to provide it when we take back the House of Representatives in 2023,” concluded Comer. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:59:24Z |
