Rogin writes, “The U.S. government is thwarting congressional inquiries while passing the buck to the World Health Organization, which is a recipe for delay and probable failure. This neglect further endangers our national security and public health”:

And “so far it seems the Biden team is all talk, no action”:
Of course everyone shares the “desire” to solve the covid origin question; that’s not the issue. The question is whether the Biden administration is actually going to do what it can to investigate. So far it seems the Biden team is all talk, no action.https://t.co/THiJ2Af38D

It’s just not that important to the administration?
If the administration doesn’t want to press China or start its own investigation, the least it can do is cooperate with congressional requests… But several U.S. government agencies are ignoring or resisting congressional attempts to seek answers.https://t.co/THiJ2Af38D

THIS. 100% THIS ==>
If you are now willing to admit the lab-leak theory is worthy of investigation, no matter what you thought before or how you got here, you ought to also recognize that an investigation must begin immediately and can’t be palmed off onto the WHO.https://t.co/THiJ2Af38D
