At a Tuesday hearing, GOP RepMalliotakis grilled two of the authors of an influential scientific paper published during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic that was used to discredit the lab leak theory of the coronavirus's origins.
The paper,"The proximal origins of SARS-CoV-2," has come under significant scrutiny from the House Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic in recent months due to the involvement of National Institutes of Health officials in the drafting and publication of the paper with the intention of rebutting speculation that the virus came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
"Something happened here. Politicians may flip-flop. Scientists do not flip-flop in a matter of 72 hours," Malliotakis said. Malliotakis also highlighted that Redfield was excluded from the conference call on Feb. 1, 2020, between the authors of the scientific article and leading officials at the NIH, including National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Anthony Fauci, then-NIH director Francis Collins, and then-NIH ethics director Lawrence Tabak.
Garry also addressed similar concerns before the Feb. 1 conference call. Malliotakis read a statement from Garry to that effect, saying:"I really can't think of a plausible natural scenario [of the circumstances] to be at the exact same time to gain this function. I just can't figure out how this gets accomplished in nature."
