Both Republican and Democrats have written to Dr Fauci requesting an explanation for the research. The NIH gave the following statement to Fox News in October regarding the report: “All animals used in NIH-funded research are protected by laws, regulations and policies to ensure the smallest possible number of subjects and the greatest commitment to their welfare … “
