BOMBSHELL GOP REPORT: Covid-19 virus may be linked to Chinese bioweapons program

Published

on

Investigations are being conducted by both the Republicans and Democrats into Covid-19.

The U.S. House of Representatives will soon release reports about Covid-19 to the public.

On Wednesday, the House Intelligence Committee circulated an interim report from their investigation into the origins of COVID-19.

That report concluded that the virus may have been part of a Chinese biological weapons research program when it was accidentally released from a laboratory in Wuhan.

This new report was released by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee and conflicts with last year’s findings by the intelligence community.

In 2021, the intelligence community judged the virus to have not been developed as a biological weapon by the Chinese government.

Brad Wenstrup, a Republican Congressman from Ohio—and a physician—sits on the House Intelligence Committee and spoke about the findings saying, “with everything I’ve read, the first super spreader event came from the wet market. I do believe that to be the case. The question is: how did that virus get to wet market?”

He added, “there’s all types of scientists saying this thing is genetically engineered; you can go through [Dr. Anthony] Fauci’s emails, that concern has been there from the beginning.”

“There is a need to get to the origins of this, one for a national security, two for our global health security and as a physician, I can tell you—you need to know how things begin if you’re going to be able to treat them, take care of it or try to prevent it.”

So far, the Committee says it has not seen any indications that the Chinese military intentionally released Covid-19.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.

EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.


The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.

Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.

The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
