That's an incredible disservice, in my opinion.

The suggestion, my friends, that Dr. Fauci and Dr. Collins were engaged in some sort of intricate cover-up to suppress the lab leak theory and bribe researchers is reckless, irresponsible, and grossly inaccurate.

We need the facts because we have an enormous responsibility as Members of this Committee to make sure we are ready for the next pandemic.
