House Select Subcommittee releases 520-page final report

After a two-year investigation (100+ letters, 30+ transcribed interviews, 25 hearings), the GOP-led Select Subcommittee's 'After Action Review of the COVID-19 Pandemic' concluded COVID-19 'most likely emerged from a laboratory in Wuhan,' criticizing mask guidance, lockdowns, school closures, vaccine mandates, and NIH oversight of EcoHealth Alliance, while praising Operation Warp Speed and Trump travel restrictions. Democratic members dissented from key conclusions, and several headline findings (e.g., the single-introduction argument and that 'Proximal Origin was prompted by Fauci') remain contested by scientists and unadjudicated.
