No, Science Clearly Shows That COVID-19 Wasn’t Leaked From A Wuhan Lab
It occurred naturally, and scientists know this for certain.
Starting in late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, began infecting human beings for the very first time. Discovered in samples of patients that were reporting pneumonia-like symptoms in late 2019 but without an identifiable origin, no human had ever reported knowledge of or contact with the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2: the virus behind COVID-19. Subsequently, outbreaks, epidemics, and eventually an entire global pandemic ensued; at present, over 165 million people have been infected worldwide, resulting in nearly 3.5 million confirmed deaths thus far.
For many years, virologists, disease ecologists, and many other medical and biological researchers had been predicting that it was only a matter of time before the next pandemic arrived, including details such as how it would arise and what the most effective strategies for combating it would be. Despite the enormous scientific knowledge humanity has gained, however, an unfounded conspiracy theory about the virus’s origin has gained a lot of traction: that it was genetically engineered with the purpose of infecting humans, that it was leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and that’s where it came from. Most recently, disgraced…
