Questions remained regarding the origins of the Chinese biolab, who was running it, and whether it posted a bioterrorism threat to California or the rest of the United States. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, called on Congress to act in a statement sent to DailyMail.com.
“China is not just in our backyard, they are in our house, illegally conducting risky research that poses a serious public health concern,” Sen. Ernst said. “The world has already witnessed the impact of Chinese state-run Wuhan lab’s experiments on coronaviruses in bats… we cannot allow what happened at Wuhan on our own shores. There must be accountability.”
