前美国国家过敏症和传染病研究所主任安东尼·福奇于周三在美国参议院接受共和党议员的质询12。参议员兰德·保罗主导的这场听证会将重点审查新冠病毒是否源自"实验室泄漏"23。保罗公开了超过1000页的福奇个人日记，声称其中内容与他的公开表态存在差异，并指控福奇关于美国国立卫生研究院资助的功能获得性研究撒谎1。保罗表示："多年来，美国人被告知实验室起源不仅不可能——而且被资助和审查这项研究的人完全否定"3。
现年85岁的福奇曾在38年间领导美国国家过敏症和传染病研究所，于2022年退休3。他曾担任唐纳德·特朗普和乔·拜登两届政府关于新冠疫情的关键顾问23。福奇及150多名传染病专家和科学家否认了这些指控，称没有新的科学证据支持实验室泄漏论1。福奇强调"在分子上不可能"让蝙蝠病毒实验演变成大流行病毒1。美国国立卫生研究院曾向生态卫生联盟提供资助，用于与中国武汉实验室合作研究蝙蝠冠状病毒1。白宫在2025年4月发表了关于"实验室泄漏"理论的论文，作为削减国家卫生研究院经费的理由3。
Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director Anthony Fauci faced a Senate hearing led by Republican Senator Rand Paul to address questions about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.12 Paul summoned Fauci to testify before a Republican-led committee investigating whether the coronavirus emerged from a laboratory leak, part of a broader GOP inquiry into pandemic origins and taxpayer-funded life sciences research.23
Paul released over 1,000 pages of Fauci's personal diaries during the pandemic, claiming that the former official's private records contradicted his public statements.1 The senator accused Fauci of lying about National Institutes of Health funding for gain-of-function research, stating that "for years, Americans were told the lab origin was not only impossible—but was completely denied by those who funded and oversaw this research."3 Paul's investigation also examined NIH grants provided to EcoHealth Alliance for collaborative research on bat coronaviruses with China's Wuhan laboratory.1
Fauci and more than 150 infectious disease specialists and scientists rejected these allegations, asserting that no new scientific evidence supports the laboratory leak theory.1 Fauci emphasized that it was "molecularly impossible" for a bat virus experiment to evolve into a pandemic pathogen.1 While Fauci previously stated he remained open to both natural origin and lab leak theories, he noted that more evidence supports a natural viral origin.1 The White House released a paper in April 2025 backing the laboratory leak theory as justification for cutting NIH funding.3
