but it could have happened through a laboratory accident, a laboratory leak, as you say, because when it emerged so close to the wuhan institute of virology, which is a level four laboratory, the highest level of experiments with dangerous viruses to humans, and also because we have not had a full audit in transparency from the chinese government, nor found an intermediary animal host that would explain the virus. questions have also been raised about what exactly type of research was going on at the wuhan institute of virology, which had received some funding from the us. there have been claims scientist may have been carrying out controversial studies where viruses are manipulated and potentially made more contagious. yes, i believe those experiments were going on because that is what we found out and try to understand viruses. china has called these claims pure lies. the spill over is probably
people couldn t really speak out in any kind of support of that view or elements of that view because of being aligned with his ideology. i m professor devi sridhar at the university of edinburgh medical school. looking at the pieces of evidence we have already in trying to connect the dots, it looks like it was not bioengineered. it was a natural origin but it could have happened through a laboratory accident, a laboratory leak, as you say, because when it emerged so close to the wuhan institute of virology, which is a level four laboratory, the highest level of experiments with dangerous viruses to humans, and also because we have not had a full audit in transparency from the chinese government, nor found an intermediary animal host that would explain the virus s spill over. questions have also been raised

say they cannot rule out the. the pandemic was the result of a laboratory accident without more cooperation from the chinese government. laura: thank you for joining me now is the congressman who forced the nih to facet. ranking member of the house it was a committee james comeare. i m not shocked because i knew this all along because smart people knew what was going on in that wuhan lab but how is this not the biggest story, one of the top 3 stories at least in america tonight? it should be. this proves all along this virus was started in wuhan lab in this proves all along that american tax dollars were used to fund gain of function research in the wuhan lab, the nih new this all along, doctor fauci misled the committee at best and lied to the committee at worst by saying
