He spoke on the success of the vaccine rollout and addressed several claims that were “seriously distorted,” including accusations he “tried to cover-up the possibility the virus originated from a lab.” Several topics were addressed during the hearing, including vaccine efficacy, effectiveness of public health guidelines, funding provided to labs in China, and countering misinformation and disinformation.
