“Origins of COVID-19: An Examination of Available Evidence” is the most in-depth hearing to date that analyzed the testimony and evidence from multiple scientists who presented their findings that suggested the virus came from a lab leak. It was the first in a series ofhearings regarding the dangerous threats associated with high-risk biological research and technology.

“The lab escape version of this is so friggin’ likely to have happened because they were already doing this type of work and the molecular data is fully consistent with that scenario,” said Kristian Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at Scripps Research.

It’s a statement that the public needs to hear — and hear repeatedly if need be. Garry also suggested that the lab leak was plausible, given his knowledge of the research he knew was occurring in Wuhan.
