Study Reveals That Origin of Covid-19 is a Result of Coronavirus Leak from China Lab

The origin of Covid-19 has always been debatable and until recently experts have claimed that Covid-19 originated naturally from animals. This theory is now gradually changing. 

A new study however conducted by British Professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Birger Sorensen says that the covid-19 outbreak is a result of its creation in the Wuhan lab. 

The 22-page research paper describes the researchers’ month-long “forensic analysis” into experiments that were done in the Wuhan lab between 2002 and 2019. 

The research concludes that “SARS-Coronavirus-2 has no credible natural ancestor” and “beyond reasonable doubt” the virus was created by Chinese scientists in the Wuhan lab. 

“Unique finger prints” were also found in Covid-19 samples that could have arisen due to the manipulation in the laboratory. 

“A natural virus pandemic would be expected to mutate gradually and become more infectious but less pathogenic which is what many expected with the Covid-19 pandemic but which does not appear to have happened”, said scientists in the research paper. 

It also stated that it is “imperative to reconsider what types of Gain of Function experiments are morally acceptable to undertake. Because of the wide social impact, these decisions cannot be left to research scientists alone.”

The study alleged “deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data” at Chinese labs.

Dalgleish is a professor of oncology at St George's University, London, while Sorensen is a virologist and chair of pharmaceutical company Immunor. 

The research by Dalgleish and Sorensen is likely to be published in the journal Quarterly Review of Biophysics Discovery.
