This subpoena demands the private communications of Dr. Kristian Andersen, a key figure in the drafting and publication of a paper on the origins of the coronavirus. This paper was cited by top officials and scientists in arguing against the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joint-who-china-report-urges-no-further-probe-into-extremely-unlikely-lab-leak-theory-u-s-officials-are-pushing-back\/\" title=\"Joint WHO-China Report Urges No Further Probe Into \u2018Extremely Unlikely\u2019 Lab Leak Theory. U.S. Officials Are Pushing Back.\">lab leak hypothesis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWe are following the breadcrumbs of a COVID-19 cover-up straight to the source,\u201d Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) said. \u201cDr. Kristian Andersen played a pivotal role in potentially suppressing the lab leak hypothesis, and Americans deserve to know why this happened, who was involved, and how we can prevent the intentional suppression of scientific discourse during a future pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Dr. Kristian Andersen&#8217;s Role and Testimony<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Kristian Andersen, an immunology professor at Scripps Research, published an article titled \u201cThe proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2\u201d in Nature Medicine in March 2020. This article discredited the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-said-he-would-press-china-on-the-origins-of-covid-he-hasnt\/\" title=\"Biden Said He Would Press China on the Origins of COVID. He Hasn\u2019t.\">lab-leak theory<\/a> on the origins of the virus. Andersen voluntarily testified before the subcommittee on June 16, revealing that the primary communication regarding the paper took place on the instant messaging platform Slack. He also stated that his co-authors were unwilling to communicate with the subcommittee voluntarily.<\/p>\n<p>A copy of the subpoena obtained by the Washington Examiner reveals that Andersen will be required to testify before the entire subcommittee and present all Slack communications from Jan. 1, 2020, to June 23, 2023, regarding the drafting, publication, and critical reception of the paper published in Nature Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The subcommittee alleges that Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and a top COVID-19 adviser to President Donald Trump, promoted the writing and publication of the paper. The committee also claims that the authors had significant conflicts of interest in promoting the zoonotic origins of COVID-19. An email previously produced by the committee shows Andersen stating that the paper was &#8220;prompted by&#8221; Fauci.<\/p>\n<h3>President Biden and Declassification Deadline<\/h3>\n<p>This subpoena comes at a time when President Joe Biden has missed the deadline, set on a bipartisan basis in March, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-pandemic-panel-subpoenas-author-of-covid-19-origins-paper-prompted-by-fauci\/\" title=\"House pandemic panel subpoenas author of COVID-19 origins paper at Fauci's behest.\">declassify intelligence documents related<\/a> to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and its connections to the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Leaked documents from the State Department in June reveal strong connections between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the People\u2019s Liberation Army, the Chinese Academy of Science, and various military intelligence apparatuses for the Chinese government.<\/p>\n<p>Chairman Brad Wenstrup emphasizes the importance of fully investigating the internal messages between the co-authors and contributors to inform future legislation and hold accountable those responsible.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kristian Andersen must present the requested documentation by noon on June 30.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has issued its inaugural subpoena, requesting Dr. Kristian Andersen&#8217;s private communications.
