I don't even see who's shooting whom here — they are different groups of people who have a hand in the game and different interests, first paper is by a scientist directly linked to this research and the note on competing interests was published in the Lancet itself, this can be found under "Linked articles": https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)01377-5/fulltext

And the other one is a committee chaired by a republican praising Trump administration's actions: Operation Warp Speed, travel restrictions — but downplaying the importance how soon those were adopted. How unexpected that it reinforces other points of Trump's agenda! 😲

The Oversight report even makes such questionable statements as "Children were unlikely to contribute to the spread of COVID-19" — children were considered the primary spreaders at early stages, never once I've seen a refutation for it.
I'd be taking what either side states with a grain of salt.
