A fungus that poses “an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has already been detected in more than half of U.S. states. Candida auris, or C. auris, is so concerning because it is often resistant to anti-fungal drugs, making it hard to treat infections. It can also be hard to identify with standard lab tests, making it even more difficult to treat properly and early.

'Dr. Fauci Prompted The Drafting Of A Publication That Would Disprove The Lab-Leak Theory': GOP Rep
Forbes Breaking News Mar 13, 2023
At a House Coronavirus Committee hearing last Wednesday, Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) spoke about the need to probe the origins of COVID-19.
Lab leak information redacted
Dr. John Campbell Mar 11, 2023
Oxford University https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023... Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology Wuhan researchers were importing bat coronaviruses, had applied for grants to increase their infectiousness (gain-of-function research) False impression given in journals https://www.thelancet.com/journals/la... We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin. Bob Seely MP It’s pathetic You have this unholy and unethical alliance of scientists working together through highly influential publications effectively to kibosh what may be a scientific truth, and get it pushed into the realms of conspiracy theory. We need to be asking tough questions about the origins, otherwise who knows what virus will be released next, through incompetence and ambition and how many more millions it will be killing. This is not some political game. We’ve got to find out where this thing came from. If you had a virus that suddenly emerged a few hundred yards from Porton Down, this country would never be able to get away with it. (Or a few miles from Camp Detrick, Maryland) Anton van der Merwe, professor, molecular immunology The conflict arises from the fact the researchers perform, and want to continue to perform, precisely the sorts of experiment that make a lab leak much more likely. These include gain-of-function experiments, where they investigate whether they can enable, by genetic modification, an animal virus to infect human cells. It is argued that this could help us identify potentially dangerous organisms in the wild and so prevent a pandemic. This seems unlikely. What is more likely is that these organisms will infect those doing the experiments, who could unwittingly spread the virus to the community, and possibly the whole world little justification for doing such experiments, except scientific curiosity and the desire for prestige US position, Wuhan Institute of Virology Case will be proved soon Senate unanimously passed bill last week https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-new... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hous... House of Representatives Republicans and Democrats voted, 419 – 0 Require Director of National Intelligence (Avril Haines) to declassify all intelligence That includes, activities performed by the Wuhan Institute of Virology with or on behalf of the People’s Liberation Army coronavirus research or other related activities performed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology prior to the outbreak of Covid-19 WIV workers who got sick 90 days could be allowed after passing a bill Department of Energy and the FBI House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner The American public deserves answers to every aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic, including how this virus was created and specifically, whether it was a natural occurrence of was the result of a lab-related event Dr Robert Redfield former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention I still believe today that the data indicates that the outbreak of Covid 19 was more likely the result of a lab leak than as a result of a natural spillover event Representative Greg Murphy Believes Dr. Anthony Fauci, knew it came from the Wuhan lab and tried to cover it up. In January of 2020, Dr. Fauci received emails that promulgated that COVID-19 looked engineered and not from the wild, Yet three weeks later, to save his own skin, he commissioned a scientific paper which ‘debunked’ the lab theory. He was academically and intellectually dishonest. The truth is that Dr. Fauci and his institution funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to promote dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology without proper guardrails Rep. Jim Himes There’s not one iota of evidence for any of that (Still wants evidence released) At every juncture, the People's Republic of China government has obfuscated and obstructed legitimate inquiries and investigations into the origins of the disease China’s approach has been deeply irresponsible and dangerous to global public health Mr Hancock Asked to remove passages from Pandemic Diaries Questioned the official Chinese version https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023...

What do we know about the Covid-19 lab leak theory? - BBC Newsnight
BBC News Mar 3, 2023 #Newsnight #BBCNews
The origin of Covid-19 still eludes the scientific community, but the FBI's assertion that Covid-19 most likely originated in a Chinese government-controlled lab has ramped up the debate. The FBI's position runs contrary to some other US government agencies, some of whom have said, with a low level of certainty, that the virus did not start in a lab but instead jumped from animals to humans, possibly in Wuhan's seafood and wildlife market. Now the World Health Organisation has responded saying that until they have conclusive evidence, all hypotheses are on the table. What evidence do we have of how the pandemic spread so fast and so far? Newsnight's David Grossman reports.
