美国国会参议员乔什·霍利（Josh Hawley）和众议员埃利斯·斯特凡尼克（Elise Stefanik）等人呼吁对中共病毒起源以及中共在其中扮演的角色进行国际调查。
霍利在2020年3月已经在参议院提出一份决议，敦促对中共政府处理COVID-19（中共病毒引发的肺炎疾病）以及这种处理对美国和其它国家人民的影响，进行国际调查。
该决议也在众议院提出，敦促国际社会量化中共政权处理疫情所造成的伤害，并“设计一个机制”，由中共向受疫情影响的国家提供赔偿。
霍利22日在一份声明中说：距离美国发生首例确诊病例已经一年了，而中共继续阻挠对这一致命流行病的起源进行任何可信调查。拜登总统所称赞的世界卫生组织，说好呢，那就是无能，说坏呢，那就是中共的爪牙。
声明说：“我们必须加倍努力，弄清楚中共的疏忽是如何引发这场全球大流行的，并追究他们的责任。”
尽管世卫组织正在进行自己的调查，但川普政府和共和党人曾对其调查和世卫组织本身表示怀疑。
川普政府去年7月正式向联合国发送退出世卫组织通知，且退出在今年7月生效。
川普谴责世卫帮助中共隐瞒疫情，尽管美国是世卫的最大捐赠者，每年给予世卫约4.5亿美元，但世卫却成为中共的傀儡。而中共每年支付给世卫约5000万美元费用。
然而，拜登上任后立即叫停美国退出世卫，并提醒联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯（Antonio Guterres），美国将继续成为世卫一员。
世卫组织的科学家上周抵达中国进行病毒起源调查，但外界担心调查会受到中共的阻碍，后者花了几个月时间与世卫组织商讨调查条款。
霍利和斯特凡尼克注意到了世卫调查团中科学家的评论。他们说，调查“不是为了认定中国（中共）有罪”。
两位议员说，拜登应该推进并要求国际社会进行新的调查。斯特凡尼克说，拜登有权利要求世卫组织回答，为什么该组织推动中共对大流行的虚假信息宣传。
“相反，拜登总统做出了重新加入世卫组织的不合逻辑的决定，而没有去要求（世卫）进行关键改革。”斯特凡尼克说，“拜登总统必须站在美国人民的立场上，当美国的利益在纳税人资助的世卫等全球性组织被忽视时，就应该让其承担责任。”
U.S. lawmakers call for investigation into Chinese Communist Party's cover-up of outbreak, claims against China

As the new U.S. administration calls off the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), several U.S. senators and representatives are calling for an investigation into the Communist Party's concealment of the outbreak and claims against the Chinese Communist Party.
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (D-CA) and Representative Elise Stefanik (D-CA), among others, have called for an international investigation into the origins of the CCP virus and the role the CCP played in it.
Hawley had already introduced a resolution in the Senate in March 2020 urging an international investigation into the CCP government's handling of COVID-19, a pneumonia disease caused by the CCP virus, and the impact of that handling on people in the United States and other countries.
The resolution, also introduced in the House, urges the international community to quantify the harm caused by the Communist regime's handling of the outbreak and to "devise a mechanism" for the Communist Party to provide compensation to countries affected by the outbreak.
It has been a year since the first confirmed case in the United States, and the Chinese Communist Party continues to obstruct any credible investigation into the origins of the deadly epidemic, Hawley said in a statement on 22 June. The World Health Organization, which President Biden praised, is, to put it nicely, incompetent and, to put it badly, a minion of the Chinese Communist Party.
The statement said, "We must redouble our efforts to figure out how the Chinese Communist Party's negligence triggered this global pandemic and hold them accountable."
While the WHO is conducting its own investigation, the Trump administration and Republicans had expressed skepticism about its investigation and the WHO itself.
The Trump administration sent formal notice of its withdrawal from the WHO to the United Nations last July, and the withdrawal took effect in July of this year.
Trump condemned WHO for helping the Chinese Communist Party hide the epidemic, despite the fact that the United States is the largest donor to WHO, giving it about $450 million a year, but WHO has become a puppet of the Chinese Communist Party. And the Chinese Communist Party pays WHO about $50 million a year in fees.
However, immediately after taking office, Biden called off the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO and reminded U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that the U.S. would remain a member of the WHO.
WHO scientists arrived in China last week to investigate the origin of the virus, but there are concerns that the investigation will be hampered by the Chinese Communist Party, which has spent months negotiating the terms of the investigation with the WHO.
Hawley and Stefanik took note of the comments of the scientists on the WHO mission. They said the investigation "is not designed to find China (the Chinese Communist Party) guilty.
The two lawmakers said Biden should move forward and ask the international community to conduct a new investigation. Stefanik said Biden has the right to demand answers from the WHO as to why the organization promoted the Chinese Communist Party's disinformation campaign about the pandemic.
"Instead, President Biden made the illogical decision to rejoin the WHO without bothering to demand key reforms (from the WHO)." Stefanik said, "President Biden must stand up for the American people and hold them accountable when U.S. interests are ignored at global organizations like the taxpayer-funded WHO."
