Senator Rand Paul successfully passed an amendment on the Senate floor to prohibit U.S. funding for gain-of-function research in China. Paul argues that Anthony Fauci and the EcoHealth Alliance have a conflict of interest and should not lead the investigation into the Wuhan lab. He warns that while COVID-19 has a 1% mortality rate, weaponized SARS viruses being researched could kill 15% of the population.
