Summary
New declassified documents are igniting fresh controversy over early COVID-19 origins, alleging millions in taxpayer funds flowed through NIH to Wuhan labs — directly contradicting prior sworn testimony. Released after a Trump-era transparency push, the files also reveal whistleblowers claim analysts investigating the lab leak theory were silenced, sidelined, or even fired for challenging official narratives.
