NIH Director Dr Jay Bhattacharya sparks mass walkout from NIH employees after suggesting COVID-19 may have originated from the Wuhan lab — and that NIH helped fund it.

It's possible that the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings, and it's also possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research.

Dozens of NIH staff stormed out. Bhattacharya replied
“Nice to have free speech. You’re welcome, you guys.”

Before COVID hit, the NIH was funding risky gain-of-function work on bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute — the same lab the CIA, FBI, and DOE say COVID likely leaked from.

After the walkout, Bhattacharya continued

If it's true that we sponsored research that caused the pandemic — and if you look at polls of the American people, that's what most people believe, and I’ve looked at the scientific evidence and I believe it — [then] what we have to do is make sure that we don’t engage in research that is any risk…to human populations.
