According to the senator, getting to the bottom of the pandemic’s origins is crucial for preventing another disaster.“The biggest thing is to ascertain whether it came from the lab,” he said. “And we need to look at this type of research both in our country and around the world.”“I do think that the understanding of what Dr. Fauci was doing and his intentions has changed over time,” he said.
