Was it the result of an accident at a Chinese lab that had shady ties to the military and is one of the premier coronavirus hubs in the world, as the FBI believes? Or was it the result of a freak 'spillover' event from an infected animal at a slaughter market, where exotic animals were kept in squalid conditions? A lack of direct evidence on either side - such as a credible whistleblower who worked at the lab or identifying the host animal which passed the virus to humans - has allowed the debate to rage on, with a recent analysis concluding there was a 70/30 chance of Covid being lab-made versus natural. Now, a fresh analysis of the data from a Harvard-based molecular scientist has outlined five reasons Covid was most likely manufactured by Chinese scientists .
Dr Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute of Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and co-author of the book Viral: The search for the Origin of Covid-19 outlined five reasons why the pandemic likely stemmed from a lab.
