WSJ Editorial Board: The virus lab theory's new credibility
Fox News
President Biden on Wednesday ordered U.S. intelligence to dig deeper into the origins of COVID-19, a reversal after he reportedly ordered a State Department investigative unit shut down.
In January 2020, international media began reporting about a virus spreading in the Chinese city of Wuhan. "The coronavirus could result in a global pandemic," said Sen. Tom Cotton on Jan. 30, 2020. "I would note that Wuhan has China's only biosafety level-four super laboratory that works with the world's most deadly pathogens to include, yes, coronavirus." The world would learn more about COVID-19 -- and the WIV. But it was always reasonable to ask if the virus came from a nearby lab that handled dangerous viruses. On Feb. 6, 2020, Botao Xiao of the South China University of Technology posted a paper concluding the virus "probably originated from a laboratory in Wuhan." But the Chinese government strictly controls research into COVID-19's origins, and the molecular biomechanics researcher withdrew his publication.More Related News
