Comment by Roger Marshall
U.S. senator and physician
Right. Thank you, Chairman, and welcome, Dr. Bhattacharya. I’m glad to see you again. Let’s talk about gain-of-function research. To start with, I think it’s now very well established that covid was a result of gain-of-function research partially funded by Dr. Fauci American dollars. The vast amount of evidence supports that gain-of-function, in my opinion, is a greater threat to Americans than nuclear warheads are. Right now, can you tell me what you’re doing to try to end gain-of-function research?AI Verified source (Feb 3, 2026)

The quote is directly on the complete statement: in the cited source, Marshall frames the exchange as about gain-of-function research and says COVID "was a result of gain-of-function research," which is a lab-related origin claim and makes his stance on lab origin vs. natural spillover readily determinable.

He explicitly says it is "very well established" that COVID "was a result of gain-of-function research," and the source page frames gain-of-function research as "most likely the origin of COVID-19," which strongly supports a lab-related origin rather than natural spillover.
