The lab-leak theory regarding COVID-19's origins has gained traction within certain political circles, particularly among supporters of Donald Trump. Trump has suggested speculative scenarios about how the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has echoed these sentiments, framing them as established truth. However, there is still much uncertainty among experts regarding the virus's origins, with scientists divided on whether it came from a lab or a market. Despite debates, experts agree that conclusive evidence remains elusive.
Whether something like this really happened was, until this year, a subject of lively debate. These days, it's being presented as official history.
Any hedging on the matter of pandemic origins represents a standard view among the experts: We simply aren't sure.
COVID did come out of a Chinese lab, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters shortly after Trump's inauguration. 'We now know that to be the confirmable truth.'
I've spoken with some scientists and pandemic-origins investigators who are confident the coronavirus came out of a Wuhan lab, and others who believe it spread from a market stall.
