US President Joe Biden announced in a statement on Monday that he has passed legislation allowing the declassification of documents related to the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, which originated in China.
“To make sure we can better prevent future epidemics, we need to get to the bottom of the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Biden said. “My administration will declassify and release as much information as possible,” the president vowed, while respecting “national security.”

Initially supported by Republican opposition, the text finally met with massive consensus among Democrats as it was voted unanimously by the House of Representatives — with a conservative majority.
