100% Of Congress Votes To Declassify COVID Origin Documents, Sending Bill To Biden

100% of the lawmakers in the House of Representatives voted to force the Biden Administration to declassify documents related to the origin of COVID-19 on Friday.

This follows last week, where the Senate also unanimously passed the bill. This means that not one representative on Capitol Hill voted against the resolution to declassify documents related to the origin of COVID-19.

The bill was originally started in the Senate by Republicans Josh Hawley ad Mike Lee. All that is required now is Biden to sign the bill. The President has reportedly ‘not made up his mind’ over whether he will sign the bill, despite the fact that it received unanimous congressional support.

The House passed S. 619 – A bill to require the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information relating to the origin of COVID-19, and for other purposes by a vote of 419-0. https://t.co/ElZcCjm8yq

House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner had this to say about the bill…

Covid-19 pandemic wreaked havoc across the country with almost every household feeling its effects. The United States death toll from this virus has surpassed one million people. Although concrete data is hard to lock down, millions of people are suffering from the long-term effects directly attributed to this virus. It is becoming increasingly clear that school-aged children face hurdles because of long-term school closures. The American people need to know all the aspects, including how this virus was created and specifically, whether it was a natural occurrence of the result of a lab-related event,

The intelligence community has not definitively agreed on the origins of the pandemic. A report in 2021 reflecting the findings of intelligence community was inconclusive, and determined two theories were “plausible” to explain how the virus emerged: “natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident.” The Department of Energy recently concluded, with “low confidence,” that it was plausible that the virus originated from a lab, a theory supported by the FBI.
