On Wednesday the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic will hold its first public hearing since Republicans became the majority. We will examine how the pandemic began.
As the work of the expert communities to understand the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, it is more important than ever that the issue remain evidence-based and free from politicization, partisan rhetoric, and conspiratorial accusations. Now more than ever, we must double down on our commitment to scientific integrity and put the needs of the American people above political theater. Democrat Raul Ruiz, M.D., represents California’s 25th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. He is ranking member of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
As the Democratic members of this Select Subcommittee, we take seriously the charge of understanding the root cause of a pandemic that has taken such a significant toll on all of our communities.
