Documents Link Potential Covid Patient Zero to U.S.-Funded Research in Wuhan
New reporting identified a coronavirus researcher at the Wuhan Institute of Virology who fell ill with Covid symptoms in November 2019.
Wait wait no not like that! The lab leak hypothesis is supposed to incriminate eeeevil China, not the US. Silly Intercept
At this point, nothing would surprise me. It would be nice to eventually know definitively just out of curiosity.
I suspect that due to the politicization and polarizing nature of the issue we'll likely never know for sure - there's always going to be some question or doubt etc.
Personally, lab origin or no, i think the most relevant thing is preparing a system to track disease outbreaks very efficiently so when one crops up anywhere we can rapidly respond to it so it doesn't get out of hand.
