This week we explore the suspicion that SARS-CoV-2 might have come from a laboratory and what the science says. The virus either emerged from another animal, so-called Zoonotic origins, or was leaked from a laboratory, in which case this could be deliberately or accidentally.

We dive into the data and explain some of the reasons why despite the coincidence of the virus emerging in a city where there is a virology laboratory focused on Coronaviruses, that same city is also the largest city in central China with multiple animal markets, a major hub for domestic and international travel. The lab was set up in the chase to find the source of the deadly SARS virus…..reported back in December 2017

And there was a detailed review of the lab on 23 February 2017;

We look at the timeline of the emergence, some of the scientific history of previous coronaviruses, and where they came from (hint – they were Zoonotic). There’s even a mouse trail of evidence as to why the lab hypothesis is highly unlikely and dig into the excellent paper (previously available in pre-published format): The origins of SARS-CoV-2: A critical review Leading Edge, which was published August 18, 2021.
