Declassifying Intelligence on COVID-19 Origins and Foreign Government Obstruction.

This Act mandates U.S. intelligence agencies to review and publicly release classified information related to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic within 180 days. The goal is to provide citizens with greater transparency regarding the virus's beginnings, including research conducted in China and efforts by the Chinese government to obstruct investigations or suppress critical medical data. This release of previously secret documents aims to inform the public debate on global health security.
Key points
Mandatory Declassification: Intelligence agencies must review and release documents concerning COVID-19 origins, including research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Gain of Function studies.
Exposing Obstruction: Information regarding efforts by Chinese officials to block investigations, suppress medical data, or promote alternative narratives will be declassified and made public.
Public Access: The public will gain access to these intelligence products, though redactions will be made to protect intelligence sources and methods.
