"The team found that there were no unusual genetic changes in the viruses before the outbreaks, including for Covid, squashing the idea that the viruses were created in labs. Instead, the viruses circulated in animals and gained the ability to spread to people by coincidence."
"Dr Joel Wertheim, a virologist at the University of California San Diego who led the study, explained that as SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes Covid - was adapting to infect bats, it ended up starting a pandemic among people just through bad luck. '[SARS-CoV-2] is coincidentally good at being a human virus.'"
"This was the case for all viruses except the H1N1 influenza A (also known as Russian flu) outbreak of 1977 in Russia, which evolved before its respective pandemic. Its mutations had patterns identical to those found in viruses grown in labs."
A multi-state research study examined seven viral outbreaks including Covid, Ebola, and influenza to determine their origins. Researchers found no unusual genetic modifications in these viruses prior to their outbreaks, contradicting lab-creation theories. The viruses circulated naturally in animals and acquired the ability to infect humans through coincidental evolutionary processes. SARS-CoV-2 adapted while infecting bats and coincidentally became highly transmissible to humans. The sole exception was the 1977 H1N1 Russian flu, which showed genetic patterns consistent with laboratory cultivation. These findings support the zoonotic origin theory, where viruses jump from animals to humans naturally rather than through deliberate engineering.
