A Senate report has concluded that a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was probably the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not a conspiracy theory, then. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter take note.

China began severely restricting the export of PPE months before notifying the world of the outbreak of COVID-19, it has emerged, leading to new questions about what the Chinese authorities knew and when.

If SARS-CoV-2 didn't leak from a lab doing research funded by the US Government, why have officials gone to such lengths to frustrate investigations into the possibility and conceal evidence that would exonerate them?

Has the lab leak been proven false? That's the impression you'd get from a BBC article yesterday. But the new studies mentioned in that article prove no such thing. One even admits there is "insufficient evidence".

12 months ago, anyone claiming SARS-CoV-2 had escaped from a lab in Wuham was dismissed as a "racist" and "conspiracy theorist". Now, it's the accepted view of 10 Downing Street.

Why was the outbreak in Wuhan so much deadlier than any in the surrounding countries? Why two months later did far nastier outbreaks occur in Europe? Many questions about the start of the pandemic remain unanswered.

The U.K.'s science sector has been compromised by a "malign Chinese communist influence" and, for that reason, parroted China's party line that Covid did not leak from a lab in Wuhan, according to an ex-MI6 chief.

Researchers believe that "abnormal" purchases of PCR lab equipment in Wuhan in the summer of 2019 suggest Covid was spreading "virulently" in the city far earlier than was previously thought.

An attempt to see details of a key email conversation between leading scientists on Covid's origins has been blocked by Whitehall officials, redacting page after page with thick black lines. What are they trying to hide?

A panel of scientists affiliated to the Lancet which has been investigating the origins of Covid has been disbanded because of its ties to Peter Daszak, the President of EcoHealth Alliance.
