The Wuhan Institute of Virology is under investigation for a possible accidental leak that started the global pandemic. New footage and interviews reveal intense clashes during the lab's construction. The lab had no prior experience in biosafety but was genetically manipulating bat coronaviruses. The French government, who helped build the lab, was immediately kicked out, raising concerns. The lab's virus databases were wiped and never made available to investigating agencies. Footage shows live bats in cages at the lab, contradicting previous claims. The lab conducted gain-of-function experiments on humanized mice to make viruses more infectious. The involvement of Peter Daszak, who denied the presence of bats, raises conflicts of interest. The World Health Organization's investigation and The Lancet's own investigation may be compromised. Accidents in labs are common, but security footage was not examined. China's cover-up and the failure to investigate the lab's role in the pandemic are deeply concerning.

A new investigative piece by Katherine Eban in Vanity Fair raises questions about the lab leak theory of COVID-19's origin. The analysis highlights how a group called DRASTIC, made up of scientists and researchers, examined the theory that was initially dismissed by those in charge. Conflicts of interest and political motivations hindered the investigation into the Wuhan Institute of Virology's gain of function research. The State Department received classified information about three researchers falling ill in November 2019, sparking renewed interest in the lab leak theory. The investigation also discovered that the lab's virus sample database was taken offline months before the pandemic officially started. The lab leak theory is plausible, but politics and bureaucratic obstacles have hindered a full explanation. This could further erode public confidence in institutions and impact democracy. The media's lack of independent investigation may also lead to a loss of credibility.

Animal viruses that jump to humans often struggle to infect effectively due to their evolution in animals. The first SARS virus in 2003 had a 10% mortality rate but only infected 8,000 people because it didn't adapt well to humans. In contrast, COVID-19 attached perfectly to humans, suggesting possible lab manipulation. Researchers used a supercomputer to find that the virus did not attach well to other animals, indicating it was pre-adapted for humans. Evidence points to a 2018 research project that aimed to create a virus similar to COVID-19. Despite this, obtaining records from the Biden administration has been challenging, even with bipartisan support for transparency. The situation remains frustrating, highlighting the need for further investigation.

Recent computer modeling from early 2020 suggested that the virus might be man-made. Initially, the goal was to design a vaccine, but the modeling revealed that the virus was surprisingly well-adapted to humans, raising questions about its origin. Instead of identifying an exotic animal, the research pointed to humans as the closest match for the virus's ACE2 receptor binding. This unexpected finding led to speculation about whether the virus had adapted in a lab setting or was an accidental release. The research faced challenges in publication due to its divergence from the prevailing narrative. Additionally, the presence of a furin cleavage site in the virus raised further concerns, as it appeared unnatural in the context of viral evolution.

A US health official working for Dr. Fauci expressed safety concerns about a lab in Wuhan, China, six years ago. The lab was planning to reverse engineer the Ebola virus, but the official was ordered to delete any mention of Ebola in her report. The lab, which is believed by some to be the source of COVID-19, was visited by the official just before it opened. During the tour, a technician at the lab mentioned the illegal importation of Ebola for study. The official expressed shock and worry about the potential consequences if this information became public. Two days later, she was instructed to delete her comment.

The issue at hand is that funding was provided to a lab in China, which is now embarrassing. The lab is located near the epicenter of the pandemic and has been involved in suspicious activities. The doctors were arrested and forced to sign nondisclosure agreements, lab reports were destroyed, and sequences from the lab were deleted from the NIH database. Two top virologists initially believed the virus likely originated from the lab, but later changed their stance in the media. It is worth noting that both scientists received a significant amount of money for further research, suggesting a potential conflict of interest.

According to the speaker, including himself and Secretary Pompeo, the most likely origin of COVID-19 was a lab leak at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. They claim that this is not just a possibility, but a probability and possibly a certainty. The FBI has been cultivating a crucial witness, Dr. Zhou Yousen, a close relative of a Chinese military scientist who worked at the institute. Dr. Zhou published a patent for a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, suggesting he started working on it no later than October 2019. However, he was found dead shortly after. While it is possible that he was killed by the People's Liberation Army for accidentally starting COVID-19, there is no evidence to support this claim. The Proximal Origins authors have been approached for comment.

The COVID-19 pandemic likely originated from a lab accident at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, rather than a natural zoonotic spillover. Evidence suggests that the virus was genetically manipulated through gain of function research. Investigations have shown no pre-pandemic infections in Wuhan, and extensive testing of animals and environmental samples yielded no evidence of the virus in markets. The unique genetic features of the virus, including a furin cleavage site, further support a lab origin. There is a consensus among experts that understanding the origins of COVID-19 is crucial for preventing future pandemics and ensuring transparency in research practices. Additionally, concerns about the transfer of American genetic information to China highlight potential national security risks.

During the early stages of the pandemic, a group of virologists were consulted by the NIH. Some believed that the virus could not have occurred naturally, while others thought it was a 50/50 chance between a lab or natural origin. However, only one narrative was publicly discussed. Later, a paper titled "Proximal Origins of the SARS CoV-two Virus" was released, claiming that the virus was natural. This paper referenced a 2014 article about a 2020 outbreak, which seemed odd considering the years in between. Additionally, a grant proposal called the "diffuse grant proposal" was discovered, stating that experiments were being conducted to test the infectivity of similar viruses and even insert a furin cleavage site, which is present in the virus causing the pandemic. These findings raise concerns about the origins of the virus.

The leaked DEFUSE proposal from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and their American partners reveals their risky research on the parts of COVID-19 that make it highly infectious to humans. Scientists believe this proposal provides a step-by-step guide to creating SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The proposal's specificity in constructing a virus with all the key hallmarks of SARS-CoV-2 is seen as more than just a coincidence. Researchers, including Shizeng Li and Ben Hu, who is considered a potential patient zero, were involved in this research. Hu's work on genetically engineering coronaviruses from bats and his early COVID-like symptoms further support the possibility of him being patient zero.

We decided to write a summary statement, and the next day, my colleague at the University of Hong Kong, Tommy Lam, sent me a sequence from a pangolin that was closely related to SARS-CoV-2. The receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 appeared unique, but the same sequence was found in the pangolin, suggesting a natural origin. Initially, I believed there was a 60-40 chance of a lab leak, which later shifted to 80-20 for a brief period. However, I quickly changed my mind based on new evidence.

169 - COVID-19 Lab Leak: Examining all sides of the debate & the barriers to a full investigation
Guests: Katherine Eban
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of The Drive Podcast, host Peter Attia and investigative journalist Katherine Eban discuss the origins of COVID-19, focusing on the lab leak theory versus zoonotic transmission. Eban, who has covered the pandemic extensively for Vanity Fair, highlights that the World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that all hypotheses about the virus's origin remain on the table, despite the prevailing narrative that it came from nature. Eban explains that the lab leak theory is not a singular idea but encompasses various scenarios, including accidental infection of researchers or a genetically modified virus escaping from a lab. She notes historical precedents for lab leaks, such as the Soviet anthrax incident and multiple SARS escapes, emphasizing that such occurrences are not uncommon. The discussion also covers the lack of identified intermediary hosts for SARS-CoV-2, which complicates the zoonotic origin theory. Despite extensive testing of animal samples, no definitive host has been found, raising questions about the virus's transmission path. Eban recounts a 2012 incident involving miners who fell ill after exposure to bat guano, which could provide insights into the virus's origins but was never reported to the WHO. Eban critiques the transparency of the Chinese government and the WHO's investigation, pointing out conflicts of interest, particularly involving EcoHealth Alliance and its ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The conversation touches on the controversial nature of gain of function research, which aims to enhance pathogens for study but poses significant risks. Ultimately, Eban expresses uncertainty about the origins of COVID-19, suggesting that both the lab leak and natural origin theories warrant further investigation. She emphasizes the need for transparency and thorough inquiry to uncover the truth behind the pandemic's beginnings.
