The Lancet's Stance: Refusing U.S. Senate Inquiry on COVID-19 Origins
The Lancet, led by editor Richard Horton, refuses a U.S. Senate inquiry into COVID-19 origins, citing past mistreatment of scientists like Anthony Fauci. Requested by Senator Rand Paul, the inquiry focuses on U.S. funding to a Wuhan virology lab, countering WHO's natural spillover theory.
The leading medical journal, The Lancet, will not comply with a request from a U.S. Senate inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, as stated by its editor-in-chief, Richard Horton, during an interview with Reuters on Friday.
The Lancet's decision is influenced by the handling of scientists under the Trump administration, particularly Anthony Fauci, who was pivotal in the COVID-19 response. Fauci faced threats and had his federal security revoked.
The inquiry, led by U.S. Senator Rand Paul, seeks details regarding U.S. funding to a Wuhan virology lab. Despite differing views from the World Health Organization and most scientists, debates on the pandemic's origins continue.
