10 reasons why scientists believe coronavirus originated from lab in Wuhan, China
Bullet Points
1) No animals have been found to be infected with SARS-CoV-2
2) No evidence of pre-epidemic infections
3) The genetic fingerprint of the virus is so unique it has never been observed in a natural coronavirus
4) The virus appeared in humans already "optimized" into an extremely contagious version
5) The Wuhan Institute of Virology studies bat coronaviruses and has engaged in "gain-of-function" research
6) China has not cooperated and investigators have not had full access to the lab, data
7) Lab leaks are not uncommon, so they should not have been dismissed so quickly at the onset of the pandemic
8) Researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were sick just prior to the community outbreak
9) The Wuhan Institute of Virology has conducted "secret" research projects with the Chinese military
10) There was an "orchestrated effort" by NIH officials and others to quickly shut down the lab-leak theory
