Agency denies allegation as congressional panel demands information from CIA probe into pandemic’s start
A highly dubious source, the “anonymous whistleblower” speaking through the Republican Party, but I’m still uncertain what benefit is derived from investigating this? What does it matter whether it was a lab leak or zoonotic transmission at this point?
It would show that the current safety protocols are inadequate and unless they are improved any future and ongoing research on gain of function or anything close to bioweapons is putting mankind at risk. It’s important to keep a historical perspective and remember how many doctors died treating ebola even though they used ppe.

Well, possibly quite important if you want to assess the risk posed by wet markets. And if it was a lab leak (personally, I think less likely) you’d want to know where processes failed, and possibly some heads to roll.
