Origins of SARS-CoV-2 | Jamie Metzl

A number of people have reached out to me questioning the assertion I have been making since early 2020 that the most likely starting point of the coronavirus crisis is an accidental leak from one of the Chinese virology institutes in Wuhan (see this CNN interview, this Newsweek editorial, this WSJ editorial, this The Hill editorial, this second Newsweek editorial, this Toronto Sun Q&A, this Fox interview, and this Joe Rogan interview). As referenced in this Forbes profile ( Jamie Metzl& was one of the first in Washington as an ex-high level staffer for Bill Clinton and then-Senator Joe Biden to say that the new SARS coronavirus was likely a Wuhan lab escapee ), this CBS News interview, and this FOX interview ( Jamie Metzl has been perhaps the leading international figure for the past year making the case that an accidental leak from this lab seems the most likely origin of the pandemic ), I have been making this claim consistently since January 2020. I will continue to do so until this issue gets the attention it deserves. A small, determined, and now growing community of people around the world are also making this claim and I ve been very pleased to see that in early 2021 the lab leak hypothesis has moved from being considered a conspiracy theory to being recognized for what it has always been a very real possibility.

We owe everyone who has died from COVID-19, all the people who have lost their loved ones and livelihoods, and future generations a thorough, unbiased, and unrestricted investigation of how the tragedy began and has unfolded.
