Exhibit 1076 ยท Fact-check
Pa. Rep. Scott Perry airs debunked claim that Wuhan lab constructed the coronavirus
That dispute notwithstanding, the claim that COVID-19 was constructed at the Wuhan institute remains False.
Rated False the statement that the coronavirus 'was constructed in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.' The 20 May 2021 note says its sources had asserted the virus could not have been manipulated, that this assertion is now more widely disputed, and that the claim 'remains False.'
