...The theory that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology has steadily gained momentum in the media and the scientific community since early January when New York magazine published a lengthy expose detailing the legitimacy of the theory.
The straw that broke the camel’s back came Sunday after The Wall Street Journal reported that three researchers from the Wuhan Institute of Virology were hospitalized in November 2019 with COVID-like symptoms, according to a U.S. intelligence report obtained by the outlet.
Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler, who said in May 2020 it was “virtually impossible for this virus to come from the lab,” published a story on Tuesday saying the lab leak theory “suddenly became credible.”
But the lab leak theory was always credible. Here are eight facts that have been in the public domain for well over a year that point to the legitimacy of the lab leak theory that the media downplayed or outright ignored.
1. China arrested doctors for telling the truth about COVID-19
2. Wuhan’s top bat-based coronavirus researcher said she lost sleep worrying the virus came from her lab.
3. China’s ‘Bat Woman’ expressed shock that COVID-19 broke out in Wuhan
4. Chinese researcher published — then deleted — a study concluding COVID-19 probably originated from Wuhan lab in February 2020
5. Deadly viruses have a history of escaping from Chinese laboratories
6. China deleted early samples of COVID-19
7. Key American defender of Wuhan Lab had a clear conflict of interest
8. Prominent American virologist said lab leak theory shouldn’t be dismissed
