Biden Flip Flops on Pandemic Origin Investigation
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
President Biden flip-flopped on the decision to allow an investigation into the origin of the coronavirus.
News came out earlier this week that the State Department’s investigation of the origin of the coronavirus, initiated under former President Trump, ended due to “concerns about the quality of its work.”

After considerable backlash, Biden issued a statement calling for a continued investigation over the next 90 days.
I have now asked the Intelligence Community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days.
When asked during a press briefing about the resumed investigation, White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said there won’t be any comments from the White House until the 90-day investigation is complete.

Questions about where the coronavirus originated are heightened now that evidence is pointing towards a lab leak in China.
There is far more media coverage on the possibility the virus leaked from the lab and a Wall Street Journal exclusive cited sick staff members in the Wuhan lab prior to the pandemic.

And Dr. Anthony Fauci is also taking heat on his recent flip-flop over the origins of the coronavirus.
Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, long held the belief the virus did not escape from a Chinese lab but occurred naturally.
Now, Fauci is saying he was “not convinced about that.”

The announcement of a 90-day investigation conveniently keeps Biden and his administration from commenting about where the virus originated.
Given the horrific toll the pandemic inflicted upon the world and the country, Americans must demand answers about the origin of the coronavirus and keep President Biden on the hook for answers.
