Top House Democrats voted against a Republican-led effort to compel the World Health Organization to conduct a “transparent investigation on the origins of COVID-19.”
All but one of the 33 Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee voted down an amendment introduced by Rep. Ben Cline (R., Va.), which would have withheld U.S. funding to the WHO “until the Secretary of State certifies that the WHO has conducted a transparent investigation on the origins of COVID-19 and implemented regulatory changes to improve transparency and international cooperation.”
The vote came as GOP lawmakers expressed serious concerns over a WHO investigation into COVID-19’s origins. Chinese officials delayed the study for months and secured veto rights over its participants, according to the Wall Street Journal . After completing the probe, the WHO initially suggested that a follow-up study was unnecessary, and while the agency went on to reverse course, China on Thursday rejected its plan for a second investigation. The Trump administration in May 2020 decided to leave the WHO over its “China-centric” virus response, but President Joe Biden halted the withdrawal in January.
Rep. Ashley Hinson (R., Iowa), who voted in favor of the provision, called the accountability push “necessary to prevent another pandemic from reaching our shores at the hands of the CCP and due to the WHO’s negligence.”
“We should not send taxpayer dollars to the WHO until they have completed a transparent and comprehensive investigation into the origin and spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the role of the Chinese Communist Party, and implement changes to stop future pandemics,” Hinson told the Washington Free Beacon .
Democrats’ refusal to tie WHO funding to a thorough and forthright probe into the virus’s origins could also become a political liability. Just 8 percent of Americans think the federal government should refrain from probing the issue, according to a June Morning Consult poll. Multiple Democrats who voted against Cline’s amendment, including Reps. Matt Cartwright (Pa.), Susie Lee (Nev.), Josh Harder (Calif.), and Lauren Underwood (Ill.), are top GOP targets in 2022.
Cartwright, Lee, Harder, and Underwood did not return requests for comment.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
