New emails have revealed scientists got together to discuss the origins of COVID, suspecting it was man-made, before deciding to tell the public it originated from a wet market, says quantitative biologist Justin Kinney.
“They got together because they really thought that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, might have leaked from a research lab in Wuhan, China,” Mr Kinney told Sky News host Sharri Markson.
“They were particularly concerned that the genome of the virus showed signs of genetic engineering.”
