Wall Street Journal on Sunday, June 6, that there are two factors strongly suggesting a lab origin of the outbreak that has infected more than 174 million people worldwide.
“The presence of the double CGG sequence is strong evidence of gene splicing, and the absence of diversity in the public outbreak suggests gain-of-function acceleration. The scientific evidence points to the conclusion that the virus was developed in a laboratory,” the pair wrote.
Gain-of-function researchers’ sequence of choice appears in SARS-CoV-2
In gain-of-function research, a microbiologist can increase the lethality of a coronavirus enormously by splicing a special sequence into its genome at a prime location. This leaves no trace of manipulation but alters the virus spike protein, rendering it easier for the virus to inject genetic material into the victim cell.

The father of modern pathology, Rudolf Virchow, emphasised in 1856 that there are essentially no dividing lines between animal and human medicine. This concept is ever more salient as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. Discussions that took place around World Veterinary Day, on April 24, 2021, focused on acknowledging the interconnectedness of animals, humans, and the environment, an approach referred to as “One Health”.
