Relevant: Garry directly addresses the statement’s core issue by saying there is no credible scientific evidence for a lab-based origin of SARS-CoV-2, and the surrounding testimony says natural-origin scenarios were most plausible. That makes a stance against the complete statement substantially more likely. ([govinfo.gov](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/CHRG-118hhrg53002/html/CHRG-118hhrg53002.htm))

He is against: he explicitly says there is "no credible scientific evidence for a lab-based origin for SARS-CoV-2," and the surrounding testimony says he regarded natural-origin scenarios as most plausible and later evidence as supporting that view.
