June 3, 2024 Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified on his role in overseeing the U.S. response to COVID-19 before the House Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. 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.
