SYDNEY, June 10 (Xinhua) A lab-leak hypothesis about the origin of COVID-19 is flawed, said Dominic Dwyer, a professor at the University of Sydney, in an article in the Sydney Morning Herald published Tuesday. The key flaw, he said, is that no evidence shows that the Wuhan Institute of Virology had SARS-CoV-2 before the pandemic. The laboratory leak, for that to be the origin . meant they must have had the virus to begin with, and we don t have evidence of that, said Dwyer, who was also a member of the World Health Organization (WHO) team sent to China in January.
