This is old news - we are past this and digging for the proof and details of who was linked - where are the missing doctors/reporters from China...all this is so sad!

I like how this has to be a partisan thing now

Sloppy reporting - many believe this escaped from a lab. I think the controversy comes in when some say China made the virus.

Wuhan is an uber city of three large areas divided by broad rivers. And the commute across the areas is all but impossible.The rumored lab and the first outbreak cluster are located in opposite sides of Yangtz River. How come the lab side of the city was least affected?

While WHO is trying to save China's arse so as to avoid a world war 😂😂😂😂

Do you still need proof? Like millions of deaths weren’t enough.

Key word, 'rumor '.....

That's the truth! It is the second time when China gives a deadly virus to the entire world. First time was in 2003! Why they are not forced to stop the research activity? They were expecting money from OMS to stop the spreading of the virus and now they build the biggest stadium

This article is so badly written as it leaves out many important details. The details it leaves out makes the article look soft on China and goes out of its way to make Republicans look like conspiracy theorists. Weird...

COVID 19 CAME FROM WHERE?.....

Sounding awfully like weapons of mass destruction that never really existed.

Typical Republican attitude,.. ,.. no facts but “our Fuehrer” likes it,..

A rumor that they obviously know isn't true, but that is politically expedient. F them.

1) Wuhan lab received a 2015 grant from the NIH to study strains of Coronavirus - from the common cold to different strains of flu. 2) patient zero is an employee at the lab. 3) seals on containment chambers at the lab failed inspection. 4) CCP members lie like DNC members

Area 51 is a real base for aliens... moon landing was fake...

I don't trust China. But I don't trust the US. Where there is no proof, this is just propaganda.

😡🔬🩺🌡🩸🧪🦠?😱🤯

nature 'It is improbable that SARS-CoV-2 emerged through laboratory manipulation of a related SARS-CoV-like coronavirus.'

bro fr that shit would be cringe as hell bruhhhh

Proofs?

Thats so obviouse.

Are there any other “theories”...

You mean the truth is gaining traction?
