A US House committee has backed the lab leak theory as the likely origin of COVID-19 in a report released on December 3, 2024. The Republican-controlled panel, after two years of investigation, concluded that the virus probably emerged due to a laboratory or research-related accident. The report highlighted that US-funded research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have played a role. The committee also criticized lockdowns and mask mandates, claiming they caused more harm than good, but praised Operation Warp Speed for vaccine development. The origins of the virus remain a contentious global issue.
