Senator Marco Rubio of Florida released a lengthy report presenting circumstantial evidence that an “accidental lab leak” in Wuhan, China, caused the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic. The 328-page report titled “A Complex and Grave Situation,” states that the Chinese government perpetuated an “international” program of “deception,” when they theorized the virus originated in a wet market in Wuhan.
Senator Rubio stated, “After years of censorship, there is growing evidence that some type of lab accident is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. This report, which took two years to compile, edit, and refine, is a groundbreaking look at what was happening in China during the years and months leading up to the known outbreak of the pandemic.”
He continued, “I am grateful to the staff, fellows, and outside experts who worked to connect the dots. Their work helps fill in some critical blanks and has already contributed to other reports, hearings, and investigations. The implications are impossible to ignore: Beijing hid the truth. This report reinforces the need to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable.”
An executive summary of the report says that “from December 2019 to October 2021, WIV researchers filed patents for inventions meant to address problems with the lab’s differential air pressure system, biocontainment equipment, and waste handling process. Any one of these problems could have allowed a pathogen to escape the lab complex. WIV researchers confirmed this by explaining that their inventions were designed to prevent precisely such a scenario.”
