Despite claims linking COVID-19 to a lab leak, the prevailing scientific evidence strongly supports the disease's zoonotic origins in a wet market in China. Many Americans, however, continue to favor the lab leak theory, viewing it as a more credible explanation despite its basis in conspiracy theory. Experts have consistently indicated that the evidence does not favor the lab hypothesis, even as it gains traction among the public, highlighting a disconnect between scientific consensus and popular belief.
SARS-CoV-2 definitively spilled over from a wet market in China, with overwhelming scientific evidence supporting this zoonotic spillover scenario contrary to lab leak theories.
The prevailing belief in America that the lab leak hypothesis is more credible than the zoonotic origin is unfounded and rooted in conspiracy theory.
