COVID-19 lab leak theory
Topic
The COVID-19 lab leak theory is a hypothesis proposing that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, originated from a laboratory accident or release, particularly pointing to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. While the scientific consensus strongly supports a natural zoonotic transmission from animals to humans, the possibility of a laboratory origin has been the subject of intense scientific, political, and public debate.
