In an interview on Sunday, Gottlieb suggested finding the origins of the virus is crucial in preventing future pandemics. He went on to state that lab leaks can frequently happen and may validate the theory that the virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know the lab was engaging in very high-risk research,\u201d he mentioned. \u201cWe know they were working with SARS-like viruses that have never been disclosed before. Now we have new evidence that some lab workers became infected right at the time that this virus was believed to be first introduced. That\u2019s been publicly reported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gottlieb admitted solid evidence supporting the lab leak hypothesis may never surface due to China\u2019s refusal to cooperate with a proper investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChina could provide evidence that would be exculpatory here,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey could provide the blood samples from those who worked in the lab in Wuhan. They\u2019ve refused to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2416276\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2416276\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2416276 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/GettyImages-1210149335-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"An aerial view shows the P4 laboratory (C) at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan in China's central Hubei province.

Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a Trump ally, proposed it. Investigative reporter Drew Holden also mentioned for the past year and a half the mainstream media had dismissed the Wuhan lab leak as a so-called conspiracy theory. This includes reports by the New York Times, CNN and Reuters as well as statements by Anthony Fauci and the Wuhan lab itself.<\/p>\n<p>However, a recent House Intelligence report found it is likely the COVID-19 outbreak was a result of a leak from the Wuhan Lab. Mainstream reporters are now admitting COVID-19 origins became a partisan issue, which completely changed the way they reported on it. They are also claiming the U.S. would need access to the appropriate records of what was happening in China at the beginning of the pandemic in order to find out the root of it all.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, ABC news correspondent Jonathan Karl admitted the media didn\u2019t take the lab leak theory only because it was the Trump administration suggesting it. Meanwhile, China\u2019s foreign ministry hit back at the United States last week after Joe Biden ordered a review of intelligence about the origins of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>They released a statement saying, \u201cthe U.S. does not care about facts or truth, and has zero interest in a serious science-based study of origins. Their aim is to use the pandemic to pursue stigmatization, political manipulation and blame-shifting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>China has repeatedly denied the lab was responsible for the leak.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/danish-media-outlet-discovers-obama-nsa-was-spying-on-ally-leaders\/\">Danish Media Outlet Discovers Obama NSA Was Spying On Ally Leaders<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 FDA Commissioner-designate Scott Gottlieb testifies during a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing.
