Lab Theory on COVID-19 Cannot Be Easily Dismissed: UNSW Researchers

A new scientific paper finds COVID-19 was more likely caused by an unnatural lab origin than a natural animal source. The paper, led by researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), was published in the journal Risk Analysis on March 15. Scientists looked into theories on the natural origin of SARS-COV-2 from an animal source and unnatural origin from a laboratory. The researchers used a risk analysis tool to study the origin of SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. “Using published literature and publicly available sources of information, we applied the mGFT [modified Grunow–Finke assessment tool] to the origin of SARS-CoV-2,” the paper stated....
