Trump campaign and MAGA self researchers can think what they want.

Chinese embassy have their information

Separately Scientists have theirs

Repeated historical similar viruses say otherwise
SARS-CoV-2 shares about 79.6% and 50% overall genomic similarity with SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV

Furthermore, we show that 2019-nCoV is 96% identical at the whole-genome level to a bat coronavirus.


You going to call SARS-CoV also a lab leak [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hell, I need to find the paper but I believe the horseshoe bats in China and Laos collected for consumption at wet markets often have a SARS-CoV-2 virus with a genome that is similar.

Even Clinical, epidemiological and phylogenetic clues point to a coronavirus that caused the Russian influenza pandemic at end of the 1800s, that killed millions, as occurred in Covid-19, with its flu-like symptoms.

Lets related this to a virus jumping from animal to human now:
We see bird flu jumping from birds to humans now. That is probably from a lab too right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But I get it hunch from the Trump admin CIA has met the MAGA itch best.
