Wenstrup and other Republicans led the charge to investigate what he described as "a once in 100-year pandemic." He and the subcommittee's final report outlines what Congress learned from COVID while ominously warning that another "pandemic" is soon to come.
One of the main purposes of the report is to "prepare America for next time – and there will be a next time," Wenstrup creepily promised.
December 1 of this year was the five-year anniversary of the world's first known case of COVID, which was confirmed on Dec. 1, 2019. As of February 2023, Wenstrup and his colleague have been probing the evidence to learn as much as they can about what happened.
"Since February 2023, the Select Subcommittee sought to produce a full after-action report to provide a road map of how we, in Congress, the Executive, and the private sector may better prepare for and respond to future pandemics," Wenstrup explains.
"Throughout this process, the Select Subcommittee sent more than 100 investigative letters, conducted 38 transcribed interviews or depositions, held 25 hearings or meetings, and reviewed more than one million pages of documents from dozens of custodians. This work looks back on many events, comments, guidances, and other actions, to look forward. This is the single most thorough review of the pandemic conducted to date."

There were many discoveries made as part of Wenstrup's investigation, not the least of which is the determination that COVID possibly came from a laboratory and was not necessarily a wild-type virus. It was also determined that EcoHealth Alliance's Peter Daszak was a COVID kingpin who "should never again receive U.S. taxpayer dollars," according to Wenstrup.
The public's trust was broken by the government with how it handled the "pandemic," Wenstrup further says. There is a lot of work now to be done to earn back that trust, if it can even be regained.
There were COVID criminals like former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who was found to have "participated in medical malpractice and publicly covered up the total number of nursing home fatalities in New York."
Other things the subcommittee found include:
1) The U.S. National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.
2) The Chinese government along with agencies within the U.S. government and some members of the international scientific community sought to cover up the truth about COVID's origins.
3) Donald Trump's Operation Warp Speed program "was a tremendous success and a model to build upon in the future." And the jabs, "which are now probably better characterized as therapeutics, undoubtedly saved millions of lives by diminishing likelihood of severe disease and death".
4) There was rampant and widespread fraud, waste, and abuse that occurred in response to COVID.
5) Pandemic-era school closures will have enduring impact on multiple generations of American children who suffered worse than others by being deprived of an education and socialization.
6) The Constitution cannot legally be suspended in times of crisis, nor can restrictions on freedoms be allowed ever again because they sow distrust in public health.
7) The prescription cannot be worse than the disease, i.e., the mandatory lockdowns and associated restrictions that "led to predictable anguish and avoidable consequences".
