"To prevent a repeat of what happened in Wuhan somewhere else in the world, we are pulling the plug on Pentagon funding for EcoHealth, which has proven it can't be trusted-- with taxpayer dollars or dangerous diseases.

Our defense dollars should make the world a safer, not more dangerous, place. I have been leading the fight to find out how COVID-19 began and to prevent the next pandemic and I won't stop until we know the truth."
