Sen. Rand Paul, the Republican chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has launched a sweeping new investigation into the origins of COVID-19, demanding a trove of records from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. In a letter dated October 30, 2025, to Director Tulsi Gabbard, Paul cites the committee’s oversight authority to request all communications and documents from 2012 to the present related to key scientists and institutions. The request focuses on U.S. intelligence community contacts with virologists, including Dr. Ralph Baric, and their connections to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The letter highlights a September 2015 email showing the intelligence community contacted Dr. Baric to discuss "coronavirus evolution." It also points to a January 2020 presentation Baric gave to an intelligence group where he discussed the possibility of an accidental lab release from the Wuhan lab. Sen. Paul’s extensive request seeks all records concerning gain-of-function research, dual-use research of concern, and U.S. government funding for overseas biological labs, including the controversial DEFUSE proposal and the EcoHealth Alliance. The documents are requested by November 13, 2025, as part of the committee’s ongoing investigation into risky gain-of-function coronavirus research and the origins of a plandemic. Key points:
  • Senator Rand Paul is demanding the U.S. Director of National Intelligence release communications proving virologists privately discussed a lab leak while publicly promoting a natural origin.
  • Newly revealed documents show virologist Ralph Baric was in communication with U.S. intelligence agencies about coronavirus research years before a COVID-19 pandemic was declared.
  • Dr. Anthony Fauci and other officials face allegations of perjury for testimony to Congress that denied funding gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
  • A 2018 research proposal, named DEFUSE, outlined plans to engineer a coronavirus with a feature eerily similar to SARS-CoV-2.
  • Emails show Fauci and former NIH Director Francis Collins advised scientists to avoid mentioning the lab leak theory in a pivotal early paper.

A pre-pandemic prophecy

The trail of evidence leads back to 2015, long before the world knew the name COVID-19. According to documents released by Senator Paul, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the CIA contacted virologist Ralph Baric of the University of North Carolina to discuss a "possible project" on "[c]oronavirus evolution and possible human adaptation." This was not a casual inquiry. Just months later, Baric and his collaborator, Zhengli Shi of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, published a study in Nature Medicine detailing gain-of-function experiments on bat coronaviruses, work funded by American taxpayer dollars through the NIH and USAID. The plot thickened in 2018 with the drafting of the DEFUSE proposal. This was a plan, crafted by Baric, Shi, and the U.S.-based EcoHealth Alliance, that sought funding to genetically engineer coronaviruses. Alarmingly, the proposal included specific plans to insert a furin cleavage site into a coronavirus—a genetic feature that later became a hallmark of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) rejected the proposal, its existence paints a picture of a scientific community actively toying with fire. The pandemic then emerged in Wuhan, the very city named in the DEFUSE proposal, a coincidence so staggering it defies belief.

The two-faced narrative

As the virus began its global spread in early 2020, a disturbing duality emerged. Behind closed doors, these same scientists were acknowledging the possibility of a lab accident. A PowerPoint presentation Baric sent to an intelligence community "B Group" in January 2020 included a slide titled "Origins" that openly discussed the possibility of an accidental release from the Wuhan lab. Yet, when Baric delivered a nearly identical presentation to the Congressional Biomedical Research Caucus a month later, all mention of a lab leak was scrubbed clean. This was not an isolated incident. Emails from January and February 2020 reveal that Dr. Anthony Fauci and then-NIH Director Dr. Francis Collins were advising a group of scientists who were drafting the influential "Proximal Origin" paper. This paper, which would go on to be one of the most cited of the year, forcefully argued for a natural origin and dismissed the lab leak theory. Internal communications, however, show that some of the authors privately doubted this conclusion and were steered away from discussing the lab leak by the very officials who would later point to the paper as definitive proof. This was a deliberate and calculated effort to shape public perception and quash legitimate scientific inquiry, branding it a dangerous conspiracy theory.

The mounting evidence and the fight for accountability

The walls are closing in on this narrative of deception. A recent FOIA request revealed a concealed payment stream of approximately $350 million in royalties to the NIH and its scientists, adding a financial motive to the obfuscation. The Government Accountability Office confirmed that the Wuhan Institute of Virology received NIH funding, directly contradicting the testimony of Dr. Fauci and Dr. Lawrence Tabak before Congress. Senator Paul, declaring he does "not think there’s ever been a clearer case of perjury in the history of government testimony," has submitted an official criminal referral to the Department of Justice. The same institutions that demanded our compliance with lockdowns, mandated experimental medical products, and silenced dissent were built on a foundation of lies. They used taxpayer money to fund risky research in a foreign lab with lax safety standards. When their experiment potentially leaked, they orchestrated a cover-up that misled the entire world and corrupted science itself. The question is no longer if there was a cover-up, but how high it goes and whether anyone will ever be held accountable for one of the greatest scandals in modern history. All of Congress should be getting behind Senator Rand Paul to publicize these important details of a scandal that shook the very core of American society with totalitarian divide. Senator Rand Paul is not merely conducting an investigation; he is leading a crucial counter-assault against one of the most insidious architectures of power and deception ever erected. His mission to drag the origins of gain-of-function bioweapon engineering into the light is the frontline in the battle for medical freedom and bodily autonomy. This is a forensic excavation into a monstrosity that engulfed everyone's lives, a deliberate scheme of bio-terror disguised as public health. His pursuit is to expose the entire malignant chain: from the planning in shadowy labs to the execution of discriminatory lockdowns that shattered the bedrock of our society. He is unraveling the systematic sabotage of medical care, a calculated breakdown of ethics where "first, do no harm" was replaced with "comply, or be punished." And at the apex of this evil lies the ultimate coercion: the forced injection of experimental mRNA genetic agents, a predatory program marketed as salvation before a pandemic could even be quantified. Senator Paul’s work is the scalpel poised to dissect the corruption festering within our most trusted institutions. Making this truth public is not just a top priority; it is the essential act of defiance that will begin to restore liberty, hold the architects of this crisis accountable, and ensure such a medical tyranny can never again take root on American soil.
