Representatives in the House on Wednesday appeared to find common ground on the issue of strengthening safety mechanisms for biomedical research, indicating bipartisan support for legislative work amid a contentious environment in the lower chamber.
"Risks to our national health security do not end at our borders. And with every step we take to bolster lab safety and security at home, we must do so with an eye toward strengthening biosafety and biosecurity on a global scale as well," said ranking member Raul Ruiz . Although members on both sides of the aisle agreed in this hearing not to debate the origins of SARS-CoV-2 in a politicized manner, witness Jamie Yassif, Vice President of Global Biological Policy and Programs at the Nuclear Threat Institute, said that the plausibility of the lab-leak theory is cause for concern.
Parker—who has experience at the Departments of Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Defense regarding bioweapons and biosafety research—stressed the need for a focal point within the federal government to set and enforce national-level standards.
