A group of 27 prominent public health scientists from outside China is pushing back against a steady stream of stories and even a scientific paper suggesting a laboratory in Wuhan, China, may be the origin of the outbreak of COVID-19. “The rapid, open, and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened by rumours and misinformation around its origins,” the scientists, from nine countries, write in a statement published online by The Lancet yesterday.
The letter does not criticize any specific assertions about the origin of the outbreak, but many posts on social media have singled out the Wuhan Institute of Virology for intense scrutiny because it has a laboratory at the highest security level—biosafety level 4—and its researchers study coronaviruses from bats, including the one that is closest to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Speculations have included the possibility that the virus was bioengineered in the lab or that a lab worker was infected while handling a bat and then transmitted the disease to others outside the lab. Researchers from the institute have insisted there is no link between the outbreak and their laboratory.
“We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin,” says The Lancet statement, which praises the work of Chinese health professionals as “remarkable” and encourages others to sign on as well.
The authors of The Lancet statement note that scientists from several countries who have studied SARS-CoV-2 “overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife,” just like many other viruses that have recently emerged in humans. “Conspiracy theories do nothing but create fear, rumours, and prejudice that jeopardise our global collaboration in the fight against this virus,” the statement says.

I’d bet $50 that this article has Deep State/CIA fingerprints all over it in the same manner the Steele report received its main propulsion.
I subscribe to two science newsletters from science journals. I would say about 20% of the articles are about science. The rest are about politics.
I just selected Stanley Perlman randomly to look at his background. Here are his most recent publications. Do the names indicate anything?
Zheng, J., Wong, L. R., Li, K., Verma, A. K., Ortiz, M. E., Wohlford-Lenane, C., Leidinger, M. R., Knudson, C. M., Meyerholz, D. K., McCray, Jr, P. B. & Perlman, S. (2021). COVID-19 treatments and pathogenesis including anosmia in K18-hACE2 mice. Nature, 589(7843), 603-607. PMID: 33166988.
Sun, J., Zhuang, Z., Zheng, J., Li, K., Wong, R. L., Liu, D., Huang, J., He, J., Zhu, A., Zhao, J., Li, X., Xi, Y., Chen, R., Alshukairi, A. N., Chen, Z., Zhang, Z., Chen, C., Huang, X., Li, F., Lai, X., Chen, D., Wen, L., Zhuo, J., Zhang, Y., Wang, Y., Huang, S., Dai, J., Shi, Y., Zheng, K., Leidinger, M.

Cell, 182(3), 734-743.e5. PMID: 32643603.
That pretty well identifies 27 paid liars of the medical quack variety.
“The rapid, open and transparent sharing of data on this outbreak is now being threatened” by people asking if the virus could have come from a laboratory that the State Department several years prior reported was unsafe and was also known to genetically manipulate coronaviridae.

Wow
This is the biggest scandal in the history of Science
Certainly in our lifetimes, maybe for all time.
1) A prestigious group of Scientists in China, conducting dangerous experiments, blunders killing 5 million people with a deadly virus they had deliberatley created. That’s as bad as its ever been.
2) The Chinese government launches a coverup, hiding information about the virus and its origin slowing up the development of vaccine by months. That’s as bad as its ever been.
The world’s top virologists and the world’s Science establishment pretends that the virus had natural origin, instead of what was obvious to them, that it was man made, to protect the prestige of their profession, and for help their political agenda. As we see here, articles were published in ne plus ultra journals such as
Science and lancet that slandered those who were stating the true facts, and spreading falsehoods to billions of people throughout the world. Again, that’s as bad as its ever been.
There has to be consequences to treason.

Scientists ‘strongly condemn’ rumors and conspiracy theories about origin of coronavirus outbreak
By Jon Cohen Feb. 19, 2020 , 7:00 AM
nice that the fascists know to which 27 “scientists” that they can turn to whenever they need official lies and propaganda to be backed by “scientific experts” ...
It's as if someone had taken them all aside and said, "Wait a minute! Don't downplay this. We can use it!"
...posts on social media have singled out the Wuhan Institute of Virology for intense scrutiny because it has a laboratory at the highest security level—biosafety level 4—and its researchers study coronaviruses from bats, including the one that is closest to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

...and with those facts, it would of course be silly to assume the leak came from a bio lab. (sarc)
John Prine’s take on that
https://youtu.be/aRuyIexfpEk
The basic virus did have a natural origin. All indications it came from Horseshoe Bats in a remote cave in Yunnan province infected with various forms of the virus.
A team led by Shi Zheng-Li and Cui Jie of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China sampled thousands of horseshoe bats in locations across the country. At first they could not find a single bat that had the exact strain of SARS coronavirus that is found in humans. However, analysis showed that the strains mix often. The human strain could have emerged from such mixing, says Kwok-Yung Yuen, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong who co-discovered the SARS virus. Finally they located a virus strain that had all the characteristics of the SARS virus, thus confirming that this virus from bats could jump to humans and caused the SARS epidemic in humans.
They took this virus sample back to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for further study. This virus strain had all the building blocks to create a more infectious version that was deadly enough to cause death in humans. There is evidence (not conspiracy) that this viral strain became SARS-CoV-2 through gain of function genetic engineering.
This genetic engineering tells us that the Chinese have become proficient in manipulating DNA to create new genetic function and changes in all life forms. There is speculation that the Chinese are manipulating human genetics to create a hybrid human-gorilla version that could be used in a super army or a human-fish version that could swim under water. Yikes! Real life Marvel comic characters!
