The May 4 issue of "National Geographic" magazine published an interview with Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, saying that Fauci said that the existing evidence shows that the new coronavirus did not come from a Chinese laboratory. By observing the evolution of the virus in bats and the current situation, it shows that the virus cannot be man-made or deliberately made, they mutate in nature and then cross species. Based on the above, he does not support the claim that the source of the virus came from nature but leaked from a Chinese laboratory. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/anthony-fauci-no-scientific-evidence-the-coronavirus-was-made-in-a-chinese-lab-cvd?cmpid=org=ngp::mc=social::src=twitter::cmp=editorial::add=tw20200504science-faucicoronavirus::rid=&sf233573268=1 |
On April 30, the official website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a statement saying that the U.S. intelligence community agrees with the broad consensus of the scientific community that the new coronavirus is not man-made and has not been genetically modified. https://www.odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/item/2112-intelligence-community-statement-on-origins-of-covid-19 |
According to the analysis reports of several top virus researchers in the United States, it is almost impossible for the new coronavirus to be caused by a laboratory accident from China or anywhere, but to spread to humans in the same way as other coronaviruses. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/04/23/841729646/virus-researchers-cast-doubt-on-theory-of-coronavirus-lab-accident |

SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) that swept the world nearly 20 years ago. The scientists looked at how SARS-CoV differs from SARS-CoV-2 -- several key letter changes in the genetic code. In computer simulations, however, the mutations in SARS-CoV-2 did not appear to help the virus bind to human cells very well. If scientists had intentionally engineered the virus, they wouldn't have selected mutations that computer models showed didn't work. But it turns out that nature is smarter than scientists, and research has found that the novel coronavirus has found a better way to mutate -- and it's completely different -- unlike anything scientists can create. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-not-human-made-in-lab.html |

https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-who-says-lab-leak-extremely-unlikely-cause-of-pandemic/a-57036373 The spread of COVID-19 from bats to humans through another animal is the most likely source of the pandemic, according to a long-awaited report by the World Health Organization. A joint WHO-China study on the origins of COVID-19 suggests that SARS-CoV-2 likely spread from bats to humans via a third animal. |
https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/07/18/opinion/columns/fort-detrick-mystery-resurrects/1807423 A 2019 visit by the U.S. Secretary of War to Fort Detrick found a coronavirus leak inside the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland. During that visit, the war secretary was told that coronaviruses developed elsewhere were being regularly offered to laboratories for "breeding". The virus has been confirmed to have been developed by Dr. Ralph Baric. It is worth mentioning that in October 2019, the Military World Games kicked off in Wuhan. According to sources, the American soldiers participating in these games were all from Fort Detrick. More importantly, more than 100 U.S. soldiers not only did not perform well in the competition and did not win a medal (a characteristic of American athletes), but about 14 days after the U.S. military left, Wuhan broke out after the Wuhan game, according to sources. COVID-19 outbreak. |

At that time, the mainstream American media and some scientists dismissed it, and the New York Times and The Washington Post also dismissed it as a "conspiracy theory". |
World Health Organization experts say it's unlikely that the coronavirus leaked from a Chinese laboratory, most likely in Wuhan, China, where it spread to humans through an intermediate species -- an expert from the World Health Organization said on Tuesday that the coronavirus was unlikely to have originated from The leak from the Chinese laboratory is likely to be transmitted to humans through an intermediate species. WHO food safety and animal disease expert Peter Ben Embarek sums up a WHO team's investigation into the possible origin of the coronavirus in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, which was conducted in December 2019. The first cases were detected in Wuhan in May. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/coronavirus-leaked-china-lab-75772131 |
https://www.bbc.com/portuguese/internacional-55149801 A study published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adds another major question to the true origins of the covid-19 pandemic. The official chronology begins on December 31, 2019, when health authorities in Wuhan, China, warned about a series of cases linked to a mysterious respiratory virus. The common denominator is a municipal market that sells live and dead wildlife. Now, almost a year later, researchers with ties to the U.S. government have retroactively determined that 39 people from three states in the country had developed antibodies against the coronavirus two weeks before China's warning. The United States even officially identified its first case on January 21, 2020. The study was based on blood samples donated between December 13, 2019, and January 17, 2020. The 7,389 samples analyzed were routinely collected from donations organized by the NGO Red Cross in nine U.S. states. |
Many hypotheses explicitly or implicitly believe that a bat coronavirus (RaTG13) discovered by the Wuhan Institute of Virology is the direct ancestor of SARS-CoV-2. That's not possible because the two viruses evolved between 20 and 50 years apart. https://www.snopes.com/news/2021/07/16/lab-leak-evidence/?utm_source=agorapulse&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=1p |

Doctors in France's Haut-Rhin region hard-hit by Covid-19 say they have detected multiple cases dating back to Nov. 16, 2019 - long before the disease was thought to have emerged in France, and even before it was announced in China . https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20200520-scans-show-french-patients-were-sick-with-covid-19-in-mid-november-doctors-say-colmar-haut-rhin |
https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-like-illness-december-washington.html Two residents of Snohomish County, Washington, who developed COVID-19-like symptoms in December, have now tested positive for antibodies to the novel coronavirus. The findings suggest that the virus may reach the U.S. sooner than thought. |
U.S. scientists who analyzed blood donations from more than 7,000 volunteers found traces of infection in samples collected between December 13, 2019, and January 17, 2020. From the results of the study, Americans infected with SARS-CoV-2 were in the United States in early December 2019 or even earlier. How they got sick and where the infection ends up in their blood is unknown. https://potokmedia.ru/russia_world/251001/okazalos-chto-koronavirus-poyavilsya-v-ssha-ranshe-chem-v-kitae/ |

But this did not change the co-author’s belief that laboratory accidents or purposeful manipulation would not lead to a pandemic. |

But recent research in Italy provides additional evidence that the virus may spread much earlier than originally thought, and it has already appeared throughout Europe in the fall of 2019. |
The researchers say that nine study participants — five from Illinois and one from Massachusetts, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — were infected earlier than any COVID-19 cases reported by these states. . https://cayman.loopnews.com/content/more-evidence-suggests-covid-19-was-us-christmas-2019-0 |
