Senate stumped over COVID origins: What we know – and don’t know
Fox News
Many questions remain surrounding the origins of COVID-19, with some theorizing that the virus came from a Chinese lab while others suspect the virus emerged naturally from a Wuhan wet market.
Many were even reluctant to dip into the idea that COVID-19 could have come from a lab in China in 2021. Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., is a doctor and the top Democrat on the House panel investigating the start of the pandemic. Some Republicans touted the lab leak theory. Yet Ruiz was careful to note that the concept was far from proven. The Department of Energy and FBI suggested a lab leak was the culprit. But most U.S. intelligence agencies suspected the virus emanated from nature.
