In a shocking revelation, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), who is also a Doctor of Ophthalmology, disclosed on Tuesday that 15 federal agencies were aware as early as 2018 that the Wuhan laboratory in China was attempting to engineer a virus akin to COVID-19.

Despite this knowledge, not a single official or employee from these agencies came forward to inform the American public during the pandemic, a failure that Senator Paul believes warrants their dismissal.

The information about the origins of COVID-19 was brought to light by a courageous Lieutenant Colonel in the Marines, the only individual among the 15 agencies bold enough to expose the truth. Senator Paul discussed this explosive revelation and more during his appearance on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.

Maria Bartiromo questioned Senator Paul about his report, "Senator, real quick before you go, we’ve got to get into COVID as well. You are out with a report which shows that at least 15 federal agencies knew that gain-of-function research was being done in the Wuhan lab since what? 2018?"

WATCH: IS "DEATH TO AMERICA" RACIST?

Senator Paul responded, "Yeah, we know this because a whistleblower revealed it. Nobody in the administration has told us anything. We’ve gotten all of our information from whistleblower, but we now know it wasn’t just one agency that China was approaching. China made a presentation or an American representative, Peter Daszak, made a representation to 15 agencies about creating a virus that, guess what, looks suspiciously like COVID-19 and looks like no other virus in nature from that family. They were working on this and presented it to 15 agencies. And in 2020, when they saw COVID-19, they should have all been calling and raising the alarm and saying, “My goodness, we saw this two years ago. We knew the Chinese were doing this. Lo and behold, they did it.” Nobody in government came forward. Not one person. I take that back. A brave Marine, a lieutenant colonel, came forward and gave us that information, or today, we would still not know any of this."

WATCH: THE WRITING WAS ON THE WALL

Bartiromo then pointed out the lack of accountability for China, "We haven’t seen any holding China to account for any of this, not just the leak, but then the cover up that followed. The Biden administration has yet to demand answers."

Senator Paul criticized the Biden administration's response, "The Biden administration has signed a pandemic treaty to give away all of our sovereignty so people from around the world, third-world countries that run these organizations, can tell us what to do, what kind of masks to wear, whether to wear goggles, earmuffs, and all the other ridiculous things that were offered up to surround ourselves by plexiglas. All the moronic ideas we’ve now farmed out. It’s not bad enough to have people in the United States telling us this. They farmed it out to an international treaty to let the rest of the world tell us how we’re going to live our lives the next time something bad like this happens."

The virus reportedly escaped from the Wuhan laboratory in 2019, coinciding with a period when then US President Donald Trump had significantly weakened the Chinese economy with his economic policies. Dr. Tony Fauci, who had funded the Wuhan laboratory, repeatedly misled the American public about the origins of the virus.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit in May 2023, Fauci offered a $1.88 million grant and $16.5 million in NIH funding to a British scientist in January 2020 on the condition of his silence about the origins of the COVID-19 virus.

On January 31, 2020, Danish-born and British-educated scientist Kristian Andersen, emailed Dr. Tony Fauci stating that the virus appeared to be lab-made. Andersen wrote, "Some of the features look engineered” and the “genome looks inconsistent with evolutionary theory."

However, just a few days later on February 4, 2020, following a call with Dr. Tony Fauci, British scientist Kristian Anderson dismissed the lab leak theory as a conspiracy theory. Anderson wrote, "The main crackpot theories going around at the moment related to this virus being somehow engineered… and that is demonstrably false."

The New York Times reported on Anderson’s early email to Dr. Fauci in an article published in June 2021. The article noted that over the past year, Dr. Andersen has been one of the most outspoken proponents of the theory that the coronavirus originated from a natural spillover from an animal to humans outside of a lab. However, in his email to Dr. Fauci in January 2020, Dr. Andersen had expressed doubts about this theory, suggesting that some features of the virus made him wonder whether it had been engineered.

After his call with Dr. Fauci on February 1, 2020, Dr. Anderson was awarded a $1.88 million grant and $16.5 million in funding from NIAID, Dr. Fauci’s personal piggy bank. This information was revealed in a legal report signed by Dr. Andrew Huff and created by the Renz Law Group in 2022.

Scientists later discovered that the first victims of the COVID-19 pandemic were researchers from the Fauci-funded Wuhan lab. It was also discovered that a Fauci-run Montana laboratory conducted experiments with the Wuhan Coronavirus strain over a year before the global outbreak.

Senator Rand Paul's revelation that 15 different federal agencies knew in 2018 that the Wuhan laboratory was trying to create a coronavirus strain like COVID-19, and yet not one person had the courage to step forward and tell the truth to the American public, is a damning indictment of the lack of transparency and accountability in these agencies. It remains to be seen whether any of these individuals will ever face indictment or punishment for their actions.
