Conspiracy theories claiming COVID-19 was engineered in a lab as part of a biological attack on the United States have been gaining traction online in recent weeks, but a new study on the origins of the virus has concluded that the pandemic-causing strain developed naturally.
An analysis of the evidence, according to the findings first published in the scientific journal Nature Medicine, shows that the novel coronavirus "is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus," with the researchers concluding "we do not believe that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible."
"There’s a lot of speculation and conspiracy theories that went to a pretty high level," Dr. Robert Garry, a professor at the Tulane University School of Medicine and one of the authors of the study, told ABC News, "so we felt it was important to get a team together to examine evidence of this new coronavirus to determine what we could about the origin."

Is ABC saying scientists from Harvard, UCLA and other great University labs are all lying?
Thanks for this. I always turn to ABC’s Kate Holland for straight up news.
“Study”. See also “experts”. A panel of unknowns who are widely quoted by the media as authoritative on a topic or topics, said panel often consisting of imaginary constructs or fellow members of the “news” room.
Uh huh.
These liars trying to shill for our enemies need to be put down.
Let’s see. This was written by ABC, who has been an apologist for China.
They are saying “Orange Man Bad”
How many times do we have to read articles like this? Just because it wasn’t engineered in a lab doesn’t mean it didn’t come from a lab. And even if it didn’t come from a lab, it doesn’t mean the resulting havoc wasn’t exploited.
It’s a shame that it is So Hard to know who to trust.
So trust almost no one at this point seems like a good idea.
Besides family.
And even That didn’t work out so well for Michael and Fredo :)
Did you all spot the weasel word?
BS
this was a false flag to take out the ELECTED PRESIDENT.
follow the money to SF, to Soros, to Gates,
and probably through stock, and Board seats to the
“elite” who refuse WORKING therapy to US taxpayers.
Ok ABC,I’ll give you credence on your anti conspiracy theory. But it’s a fact that the Chicoms used the outbreak to create havoc worldwide.
I’m not saying it is engineered but I’m not going to believe anything from a wholly owned subsidiary of China apologist the Disney Co.
What? Like creating it and/or deliberately spreading it are two totally unrelated things??
No. But they are saying that they know better than the scientists, because journalists know everything.
It has everything to do with China’s disgusting wet markets that are not regulated. Combine bats, pigs, snakes, rats, etc with little public hygiene and you have the perfect reservoir for creating nasty new pathogens.
Frankly, there’s no telling how many of the world’s respiratory crud is brewed in Asia.
If this came out of Russia, ABC (and others) would insist it was a bio-weapon designed to hobble the campaigns of Trump’s opponents and disrupt the 2020 elections.
And I believe ABC why?
Your right,it did not come from a Chinese biological lab,it came from a Chinese food market
