Most people know the statement well, that political power influences the research, especially in the emergency period, like Covid19 pandemic.
However, the institution did not expose it.

Scientific community influenced by ‘political wokeness’ on COVID
Most of the mainstream media and parts of the scientific community compromised their principles in order to dismiss any discussion that COVID-19 could have originated from a lab, according to former China advisor to the US State Department, Miles Yu. In February 2020, eminent medical journal The Lancet published a letter signed by 27 leading scientists which said COVID-19 originated from animals and argued that anyone claiming it was from a lab was guilty of spreading “misinformation”. Subsequently, more and more scientists, including some from the World Health Organisation, have said it is possible that the disease originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Speaking with Sky News host Sharri Markson as part of her exclusive documentary, ‘What Really Happened in Wuhan’, Mr Yu said many researchers were unduly influenced by “wokeness.” “It is a sad story of unprincipled compromise in the face of an authoritarian regime,” he said. “It’s also a sad story of political wokeness because the reason many scientists sign on to that kind of rhetoric, to accuse anybody who is seriously interested in the possibility, not the certainty, but the possibility, is simply racist.”
