Federal secrets spill on COVID origins amid rodent research on risks of lab mods, vax in pregnancy --"I try to always communicate on Gmail because my NIH email is FOIA'd constantly" | 19 Jan 2024 | ...Chinese researchers claim to have modified another animal virus that killed every humanized lab mouse it infected, while Turkish researchers said the male offspring of pregnant rats they inoculated with Pfizer's COVID vaccine exhibited "pronounced autism-like behaviors." House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, said he plans to dig through the "personal email account" for Dr. Anthony Fauci's senior scientific adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, David Morens, following a six-hour transcribed interview Thursday with unspecified "limited obstruction." Morens was supposed to testify just before the new year, but the Department of Health and Human Services refused to let him answer questions about COVID origins, Wenstrup said. In 2021, Morens told other scientists trying to discredit the lab-leak theory, including one who said SARS-CoV-2 looked "potentially" engineered: "I try to always communicate on Gmail because my NIH email is FOIA'd constantly" and "I will delete anything I don't want to see in the New York Times."
