Dr. Peter Daszak, the scientist RedState's Scott Hounsell described as "a real-life Bond villain" for his work weaponizing coronaviruses, is set to publicly testify before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic at 10 AM Eastern this morning. Daszak is the president and CEO of EcoHealth Alliance and worked with Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Institute of Virology on the very research many believe led to the development of the COVID-19 virus, and is largely responsible for the dismissal of the lab leak theory and censorship of those discussing it (including RedState).
