Sen. Marco Rubio released Wednesday a report offering a “mountain of circumstantial evidence” that the coronavirus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, instead of spilling over from nature.
The 328-page report from Mr. Rubio, Florida Republican, traces efforts to study and manipulate coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in the lead-up to the fall of 2019, when the virus began to rip through the central Chinese metropolis.
In the weeks that followed, lawmakers in Beijing reviewed new biosecurity measures and officials documented some cases of COVID-19 in November 2019 but kept it hidden, the report said. At the same time, Beijing took steps to strengthen lab biosafety and prevent unauthorized research, the report said. However, the report’s authors acknowledge they produced an aggregate picture of the situation in Wuhan and not a “smoking gun” that shows the virus’s origin.
