Did COVID19 come from a lab in Wuhan?
That’s what a new study called “Project Evidence” explores. It examines evidence that the virus may have been present at a biolab in Wuhan, and was introduced into the greater Wuhan population by an infected lab worker or animal.
What the study doesn’t do is attempt to investigate whether the release was intentional. It also doesn’t attempt to provide concrete conclusions. Instead it encourages the reader to make up their own mind, and hopes to bring more awareness to safety protocols in research labs to give us the best chance of avoiding the next outbreak.

Coming from a lab doesn’t necessarily mean engineered in a lab, or that it is a bioweapon. These are extreme claims, and scientist Trevor Bedford who studies viruses provided a great explanation of why this is unlikely.

I go through all the evidence presented in the study about why the virus might have come from a lab, including missing researchers, coverups, a sensitive cable leaked from US diplomats about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the mysterious lack of bats present at the market and the data that shows that 34% of initial patients weren’t expose to the Huanan Seafood Market in any way.
And the fact that no epidemiological link was found between the first patient and later cases.
The list of strange occurrences goes on. And although the evidence is all circumstantial, it is interesting to consider. I remain curious and skeptical, but there sure are a lot of coincidences here.
