What are the main findings and challenges faced by the Select Subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic regarding COVID-19's origins?

The Select Subcommittee, chaired by Representative Brad Wenstrup, conducted a bipartisan investigation into COVID-19's origins, examining both lab-leak and natural spillover theories. The committee faced political challenges despite its bipartisan composition, as the pandemic's origins became highly politicized. Key findings highlight the existence of gain-of-function research technology that can create chimeric viruses by combining parts from different viruses, which became relevant to understanding potential lab origins. The investigation emphasized the need for transparency, with the committee requesting access to data and urging government accountability in pandemic response and public health measures.
