A new Harvard poll found that a growing majority of Democrat and Republican taxpayers—52% and 59% respectively—think that a leak at the Wuhan Animal Lab caused the COVID pandemic. That’s nearly twice as many Americans as last year who now believe in the lab leak hypothesis.
A majority of Americans now back the COVID-19 lab leak theory, and “the belief is bipartisan,” according to a new poll.https://t.co/woWqYZ3oMl

Congress has taken note and Republican and Democrat lawmakers have joined forces to prevent future funding for the treacherous Wuhan Animal Lab:

NEW: Hardline measures aimed at China have enjoyed bipartisan support in spending bills the House aims to pass this week, from a ban on Chinese companies buying U.S. farmland to measures focused on the Wuhan Institute of Virology.https://t.co/JWCmhgxTjs

We should not be subsidizing research labs in China.
They have the second-largest GDP in the world, on the brink of overtaking us in terms of economic power. Why are we using U.S. dollars to subsidize the scientific research of a competitor?
Mind-blowing.https://t.co/SzCq2RI5Fr

Polling commissioned by WCW earlier this year also found that 77% of taxpayers want an independent investigation into whether the COVID pandemic is the result of a lab leak.
Fortunately, there’s also now bipartisan cooperation on Capitol Hill to investigate the origins of the COVID pandemic:

.@RepMarkGreen and I sent a letter to the NIH asking for information on reports that COVID-19 sequence data was deleted from a public database. We need to ensure our data is protected and secure, especially as we investigate the origins on the virus.https://t.co/ctwmKNbr1Y

My letter with @CongressmanRaja demands answers from the NIH over important deleted COVID-19 data. Why were early genetic sequences that could lead to answers deleted? https://t.co/OI5h8r8Td2

Great that Blue Dog @HouseDemocrats @RepStephMurphy @RepSpanberger @RepEdCase & @RepSchrader joining our call for a comprehensive #COVID19 origins investigation, including a bipartisan US national commission. Nothing could be more important to our future. https://t.co/Uo14Y5FYX6
