The Government believes that on the "balance of probabilities", Covid did not leak from a lab, according to Dominic Raab. The Foreign Secretary says it is more likely that the virus "jumped" from animals to humans.
SARS-CoV-2 has a genetic feature that has never been observed in natural SARS-like viruses, but which is the preferred feature for scientists engineering viruses. Is this the smoking gun for a gain-of-function lab leak?
The censorship of the lab leak theory and its collapse is a reminder of how those with vested interests and things to hide can succeed in deflecting unwanted attention and why a genuinely free media is so important.
Once dismissed as a conspiracy theory, now being actively investigated, the lab leak theory always had lots to commend it. New emails show Dr Fauci was told the virus "looks engineered" back in February 2020.
SARS-CoV-2 was made in a Wuhan lab by Chinese scientists who then tried to cover their tracks by retro-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats, according to a new study.
Three researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology sought hospital care in November 2019 for possible COVID-19. But is that too late for a lab leak?
The Wikipedia page for "COVID-19 misinformation" says the lab leak theory is based on “unfounded speculation and conspiracy theories”. Yet experts are now calling for a new investigation into the origins of COVID-19.
Scientists from around the world have criticised the World Health Organisation's investigation into the origins of Covid, saying that the agency has not properly looked into the lab leak theory.
