Carl Cannon argues that the first step toward accountability for the COVID pandemic is determining exactly what happened in Wuhan, why intelligence agencies were involved, and how decisions made during the crisis affected millions of lives. “Why was the DOD involved in it? Is this a bioweapon? What were they doing?” he asked, Wednesday on the RealClearPolitics podcast. “Francis Collins and Fauci and other people will tell you they were trying to stay ahead of the curve – if we had another outbreak, we wanted to see what these viruses would do so we’d know how to combat them.” “But this new evidence that’s coming out – RealClearInvestigations has had some of these stories – the involvement of the Department of Defense and the CIA, which, by the way, now says it was a lab leak.” “We’re still learning about this, and it’s going to be years before we know the full story,” Cannon said. “I want to know the full story because this was irresponsible in the extreme.” “Twenty million people died worldwide, a million of them in the United States,” he said. “The first step to accountability is to find out exactly what happened and why.”
