Requesting an inquiry into the COVID-19 pandemic

House Resolution 3 (HR 3), introduced by West Virginia delegates on January 20, 2026, requests Congress create a combined investigative task force to examine the origins and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution asks the task force to coordinate with existing investigations, investigate alleged issues like vaccine-related health impacts and business closures due to mandates, and recommend corrective actions. It specifically urges the task force to consider referring criminal charges where warranted and to address accountability for pandemic-related decisions. This procedural resolution does not create new laws but seeks a federal investigation into pandemic policies and their effects.
