The recent bill introduced by Senator Josh Hawley, the COVID-Origin Act, has been met with condemnation from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The CCP responded to the bill with a three-page letter to Hawley’s office, accusing the US of “undermining international solidarity” in fighting the coronavirus and repeating Beijing’s argument that the virus could have potentially originated in a North Carolina lab.
It’s clear the CCP is desperate to cover up the truth about the origins of the pandemic and to deflect any blame away from their response to the crisis.
This is why Senator Hawley’s bill is so important—it is a necessary step in holding those responsible for the pandemic accountable and in ensuring that the truth about the virus’s origin is not swept under the rug.
The CCP’s response to the bill is a sign that Hawley is “on the right track.” His bill is a step in the right direction in terms of restoring trust in government and in rebuilding international solidarity in the fight against the pandemic.
By requiring the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information related to the virus’s origin, the US will be able to get to the bottom of the truth and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
Unfortunately, the truth about the virus’s origin is not just being buried in China. Even in the United States, there are those who are trying to downplay the truth and deflect responsibility away from the US response to the crisis. It is more important than ever that we uncover the truth and hold those responsible accountable.
We must also be aware that the CCP is not the only one attempting to cover up the truth about the origins of the pandemic. No matter where we are in the world, it is our duty to ensure that the truth is revealed and those responsible are held accountable.
The bottom line is that Senator Hawley’s bill is a positive step in the right direction. It is a necessary step in restoring trust in government and rebuilding international solidarity in the fight against the pandemic. We must all do our part in uncovering the truth and making sure those responsible are held accountable.
