Peter Daszak, former head of Ecohealth Alliance, defiantly maintains his innocence after being debarred by HHS, insisting no wrongdoing occurred in Wuhan and that COVID-19 likely originated from an animal—not a lab.

Critics accuse officials of protecting a narrative and using law enforcement to suppress truth, while others blame past administrations for neglect. With Dr. Fauci’s upcoming Capitol Hill testimony looming, the origins debate is set to intensify.
