The French Academy of Medicine, in a new report, asserts that COVID-19's origin is likely a laboratory error, with 97% of its members supporting this conclusion. This adds to the growing body of evidence suggesting a non-natural origin for the pandemic.
The report highlights concerns about the Wuhan lab's insufficient bioprotection, urging researchers to adopt a "culture of risk and responsibility." While not offering definitive proof, it strengthens the case against a natural origin.
The CIA previously stated a similar conclusion, albeit with low confidence, while China vehemently denies the lab leak theory, calling it political manipulation. The lack of Chinese cooperation hampers international investigation efforts.
