Prominent scientists are calling for a deeper investigation into the origin of Covid-19, including the possibility that a laboratory accident released the new coronavirus that caused the pandemic

.

In a letter published Thursday in the journal Science, an international group of 18 biologists, immunologists and other scientists criticized the findings of a report released in March by a World Health Organization-led team into the pandemic’s origin and called for a more extensive evaluation of the two leading hypotheses: that the pandemic virus entered the human population and began spreading after escaping from a lab or after jumping to humans from infected animals.

The WHO-led team, which included scientists from China and several other countries, reported no definitive proof of either hypothesis. Yet, the scientists wrote, the team nevertheless concluded that an animal origin for the pandemic was the likelier scenario and devoted only four out of the report’s 313 pages to the possibility of a lab accident.

“We must take hypotheses about both natural and laboratory spillovers seriously until we have sufficient data,” the scientists wrote in the letter. The signatories include highly regarded scientists who are actively involved in studying SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing the pandemic, such as Jesse Bloom, a computational biologist at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle; Ralph Baric, a coronavirus researcher who has collaborated with scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, the institution at the center of debate over the lab hypothesis; and David Relman, a microbiologist and immunologist at Stanford University...

How many times will mainstream publications rehash this story?

“Accident”

EpochTimes reported that it was released by the lab in Wuhan a year ago.

They love to waste time and money ! What gives🤷🏻‍♂️. I mean what about the Spanish flu they didn’t went deeper this is just one of these things that Earth sends to clean up. Sadly the bad guys are bad weed they never die

Goodbye Fauci

Ready to make a change? Thread with details:

Why is this so far fetched? America had no problem giving out Small Pox Blankets, so why is this out of the realm of possibilities?

Just admit it XHNews

What else? 😴

We will NEVER KNOW. . .CHINA has COVERED IT UP, DESTROYED PROOF, SILENCED PEOPLE WHO KNOW THE TRUTH. . .

Lol

Of course, FortDetrick must be the No.1 investigated target

King David Remedy A healing balm for disease and illness Dm If interested

Of course there is a strong possibility it got out of a lab. Humanity has a long list of overconfident blunders. If it did leak from a lab, it is not the China virus, it is the Hubris virus. It is the Titanic, Chernobyl, Challenger, Hindsight-Bias Virus. COVID19

Finally! Some areas of science involve such a high degree of risk to humanity they must be banned by the world. A few researchers quest for wealth and Nobel fame should not subject humanity to a small, however unlikely, risk of annihilation. Could of been much, much, worse.

Jesus F*ng Christ - Rupert Murdoch sure has done a number on the WSJ - expect rubbish like this from NY Post, Foxnews and supermarket rags.

How? Invading China and capturing all the records?

🍿

🧨❄️

No need to investigate 🔬. Coward China made it in lab

p_decarvalho :)

Still trying to spread the lie that this came from a biolab huh? Even though a majority of these same scientists have already concluded that Covid does not appear to have originated from that kind of environment. Quit dancing around the actual causes.
