August 15, 2025 - Dr. Fauci’s Senior Advisor, Dr. David Morens, deliberately obstructed the Select Subcommittee’s investigation, likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, and shared nonpublic information about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth President Dr. Peter Daszak. ... New York’s Executive Chamber — led presently by Governor Kathy Hochul — redacted documents, offered numerous illegitimate privilege claims, and withheld thousands of documents without an apparent legal basis to obstruct the Select Subcommittee’s investigation into former Governor Cuomo’s pandemic-era failures. ... The WHO’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic was an abject failure because it caved to pressure from the Chinese Communist Party and placed China’s political interests ahead of its international duties. Further, the WHO’s newest effort to solve the problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic — via a “Pandemic Treaty” — may harm the United States.

3 days ago - After the discovery of similar viruses in nature, more research into the genome, and the availability of more genomic sequences from the early days of the pandemic, these scientists publicly stated they supported the zoonotic theory as the most likely explanation.

The second hypothesis is the so-called “lab-leak theory,” suggesting that a new variant may have accidentally escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) during serial passage or gain-of-function research on SARS-related viruses. Some circumstantial evidence seems to support this ...

November 7, 2023 - A renowned scientist who led the condemnation of the Covid lab leak theory privately believed it was 'highly likely', leaked messages show. Dr Kristian Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, co-authored a now-notorious research paper published ...

Six months later, senate Republicans released a report noting “most likely” origin of the coronavirus was a “research-related incident”. Now it is the Department of Energy, which oversees a network of labs in America, which has concluded ...

April 18, 2025 - ... Federal agencies have issued conflicting reports about the origins of the pandemic and a House investigation that concluded last December found that a lab leak is the most likely scenario.

February 23, 2022 - THE THEORY that Covid had its origins in a leak from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, is 'more than likely,' according to a biological weapons expert.

February 10, 2025 - Last weekend, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) altered its assessment, concluding – with “low confidence” — that the virus is “more likely” to have come from a lab than a bat or other animal at a wet market.

February 28, 2023 - COVID-19 most likely spread as the result of a lab leak in Wuhan, China, according to a recent Department of Energy report aimed at deriving the pandemic's origin. This theory was once marked as disinformation on popular social media sites; ...

February 28, 2023 - ... The Energy Department has now concluded with "low confidence" that the COVID-19 pandemic most likely began after an unintentional laboratory leak in China, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited a classified intelligence report provided to the White House and members of Congress.

Yet he is gives too much ground to the continued viability of a lab leak theory of SARS-CoV-2's origins. Contrary to what Jim's article implied, the WHO mission did investigate the possibility of a laboratory leak. They found "direct zoonotic spillover... a possible-to-likely pathway; introduction through an intermediate host... a likely to very likely pathway; introduction through cold/ food chain products… a possible pathway; introduction through a laboratory incident... an extremely unlikely pathway.” · Jim's statement that "'extremely unlikely' is not quite the same as 'impossible'" is incomplete: the confidence criteria and stringency for “extremely unlikely” in most such scientific reports is not so far from what, in ordinary parlance, would be deemed “impossible”. No, it cannot be categorically ruled out, and further investigations are almost always good.

October 1, 2022 - But that would've had to assume the virus could have leaked from a secure research facility – and also neglected the fact that the virus' feature of entry and infection markedly diminished in a lab culture setting. ... Advertise with NZME. And then, as Dr Jonathan Stoye, group leader of the Retrovirus-Host Interactions Laboratory at the UK's Francis Crick Institute, pointed out, the virus' spread around the world didn't gel with the lab-grown theory. "The genome of SARS-CoV-2 shows more than 1000 individual differences from its closest known relative," he said. "Given the rate of nucleotide change observed in virus spreading through the human population over the past year it seems extremely improbable, perhaps impossible, that changes spanning such an evolutionary distance could have occurred during virus growth in a lab. "It therefore remains most likely that the immediate ancestor to SARS-CoV-2 exists in the wild and is still to be found."

February 27, 2023 - On Sunday, a government report was leaked revealing that another federal agency considers the “lab leak theory” to be the most likely explanation for the origin and subsequent spread of the Chinese coronavirus, which became a global pandemic.

June 3, 2021 - Transmission through frozen food: possible. Transmission through a laboratory incident: extremely unlikely. On March 30, 2021, media outlets around the world reported on the release of the mission’s 120-page report.

January 13, 2022 - Leading Western experts believed a lab leak was the 'likely' origin of Covid but were silenced because it could cause harm to Chinese scientists, bombshell emails show. Sir Jeremy Farrar, who publicly denounced the theory as a 'conspiracy', ...

November 28, 2023 - The problems with the lab leak theorists’ case, however, extend well beyond their overreliance on the ambiguous stories of WIV staffer sickness. Put simply, their narratives of viral sampling, evolution, and transmission don’t add up. Dr. Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan who has published extensively on emerging viruses, including Covid, MERS, and Ebola, has taken considerable heat on Twitter for arguing that Covid is likely of natural origin.* She first takes aim at the popular version of the lab leak theory that posits that Covid was taken from nature and escaped in its wild form. The problem with that scenario, she told me, is that a swab from a bat contains very little infectious virus. Each bat weighs less than half an ounce, and each sample is basically a Q-tip swiped briefly over a bat’s mouth or anus. These samples are stored in vials in the freezer; they’re not likely to spill or leak, the way disaster movies have primed us to suppose.

November 4, 2022 - However, many virologists continue to believe that a natural origin is still the most likely scenario, given the genome of the virus and the fact that the first cluster of cases broke out at the wet market.1Of course, the wet market outbreak ...

February 21, 2026 - Now we’re talking about odds of 1 in 100 million, that the virus leaked from the lab twice and both strains made it to the market but showed up nowhere else in Wuhan. The odds that this virus made it across town, unseen, once or twice, are ...
