No, I mean a majority of all experts around the world.
And I don't find it particularly damning that the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was involved in the commission of one of many studies to determine the origin of an infectious disease.
- jonhohle 3y agoHaving the primary author not attach their name to the paper that they’ve secretly been asked to write and disseminate is typical?
- eli 3y agoWas this the most damning fact uncovered by the House investigation into this report? That there was a researcher working on it who wasn't properly credited? That in itself doesn't seem like reason to discard the report, let alone to reach the opposite conclusion. And of course there has been subsequent research by independent scientists who also reached the conclusion that a zoonotic origin is most likely. I'm not saying the lab leak theory has been conclusively disproved -- it hasn't -- but certainly neither has the wildlife theory.
