Coronavirus origins in lab not ruled out by scientific studies
(Worthy News) – A scientific study recommended by White House medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci pointing to the origin of coronavirus pandemic as a jump from animals to humans also concludes it cannot be ruled out that the virus may have escaped from a laboratory.
A second study recommended Friday by Dr. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, argues that similarities between the bat-origin coronavirus known as SARS-Cov-2 and a coronavirus carried by pangolins, a type of anteater, are indications the disease was first spread by an animal sold at Chinese markets.
However, the second study was partially funded by the Chinese government, and co-authored by Chinese scientist Zhang Yongzhen and Australian scientist Edward C. Holmes, who once was associated with the China Center for Disease Control and is an honorary professor at a Chinese university — raising questions about whether their report may have been influenced by the Chinese government.
