  1. The bad news is that US was funding the lab in Wuhan to do gain of function research which has been banned by the US government. Fauci is a criminal that should be thrown in jail for lying under oath.

  2. Whos the Author Stephen King?

  3. Dr. Sheng-li Xi a Chinese virologist intentionally released Covid19.

  4. Is this all NBC can say about biden ? Fake News !

  5. The war drums are beating

  6. Of course Biden is releasing the documents now. China and Russia just formed an alliance behind his back. China also fostered a deal with Iran and Saudi Arabia to join forces. Remember the "secret oil deal" between Saudi and Biden that was supposed to go through after the pipeline was given to Russia? The Saudi's laughed in his face and said no deal and we're suffering for it. Get this guy out of office!!

  7. The news reporting on the origin of COVID is shifting faster than the facts of the case. It is NOT a case of two sides divided evenly down the middle. Two agencies have stated with low confidence that it resulted from a lab leak. FOUR say it more likely was the result of natural transmission. Two more favor neither theory. Recent studies, on the other hand, seem to support natural transmission. NOBODY HAS DISMISSED EITHER POSSIBILITY.

  8. Will people around the world still care about its origin ?

  9. Why wait? UK Lancet covid lab already release their findings long time ago by UK researchers. Not some intelligence people who rely on some chinese newspaper as its source.

  10. I bet a bunch of Republicans read this; don't understand it; believe what some liar is going too tell about it; start speeding the lies themselves!!! Predicable, the anti-American MAGAets are!!!

  11. Just know this people, pay attention to how the government will only do things that benefit it, at this time, U.S. and China relationship is at its worst, possible war between them, I feel like they are gonna expose China of lying and leaking the virus intentionally to decrease the elderly and sick population within its County. Well it went global and now China is trying to do damage control. Would it not be convenient for the U.S. to rally its country into full war. Remember, declaring war takes congressional approval, and with votes comes support from the people of public opinion. These reports will turn Americans into war hungry fighters for the next big war that's at our doorstep. Wake up

  12. Facts and objectivity are some of the primary things to observe when investigating something complicated such as the origin of Covid-19.

    Investigations on the origin of Covid-19 should be carried out by WHO not only in China, but also in USA and other countries such as Europe that also have records of Covid-19 like disease occurrences prior to the Wuhan outbreak.

    Finding the real origin of the Covid-19 virus is actually more complicated. There are other incidences that occurred and also had been noted, but downplayed prior to the Wuhan incidence. It is like searching a needle in haystack that is not even known in location.

    Covid-19 pandemic did cause much suffering and ķilled many people in USA, but it wouldn't help to panic or blame its root cause to a particular group of people. Encouraging racism against Asian ethnicities in the USA is just scapegoat from taking responsibility of the besetting trouble.

    Here are some salient reports that indicate Covid-19 epidemic may have spread earlier than had been thought.

    A question can be posed like "If SARS-COV-2 originated in Wuhan then why did China only got very less people contracted as compared to the USA?" Note that China has much more people than USA, their average density of people is much greater than that of USA. How come they contracted less than the people of USA?

    China was able to identify a new virus and it proceeded rightaway to isolate those who contracted it. USA on the other hand may have had already the virus spread wide, but kept those incidence treated as some kind of pneumonia, flu, or other known diseases.

  13. However he clearly states that he will share what he can siting "national security" so basically this is the new US norm, a big show of nothing!!!

  14. When the media gets caught with disinformation now they want transparency

  15. I wonder what lies they’re going to spew out this time 🤡🌎

  16. 3 years is long enough to bury

  17. We already know where it came from.. tf are we still talking about this for? 😂

  18. It came from a lab in China. We’ve known this from the beginning. They just hid it from you until an opportune time arose to use that information.

  19. During Trump's tenure, more than 450,000 Americans died from COVID-19, and life expectancy fell by 1.13 years, the biggest decrease since World War II. “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.” –Donald 'Coronavirus Hospitalization' Trump. Donald Trump was flown to a hospital for treatment after testing positive for coronavirus.

  20. The day China met Russia, when will he grow up?

  21. Far to little Far to Late China Joe 🙏🇺🇸🙏🧠🙏❤️🙏☮️🙏🌍🌎🙏

  22. This should have been done a long time ago. Glad they are doing it . News could have been qui ker.

  23. Unfortunately intelligence is in bed with China also. Just like all dems. If they are not, why do are they not willing to answer the tough questions when asked in committee.

  24. Biden and “intelligence” in the same sentence should be illegal.

  25. Biden himself doesn't know.

  26. Wow democratic’s really hate Americans

  27. This is a joke. Because people are just guessing about Covid. Because this came from SAR 2 .And it just might be part of climate changes. Or it might can be created as a weapons.

  28. if they releasing it — THEN YOU KNOW IT'S A LIE !!!!!!!!!!!! – american government NEVER tells the truth – NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  29. Unfortunately those of us who have the ability to think for ourselves knew where it came from. Only the brainwashed sheep thought it might have not come from a lab.

  30. I gigantic stack of spray painted black paper. Even the page numbers will be redacted

  31. 😂 we already know it's origins

  32. Must have scrubbed fauci’s connection to that lab with bleach

  33. Faucci, along with Pelosi, need to go to Jail
