Covid-19 origin stories have been a touchy subject since the very beginning of the pandemic. To even suspect that the virus is manmade, possibly even the product of bioweapons research, has been to invite ridicule. That began to change last May when Jeffrey Sachs published a paper in PNAS calling for an investigation into the true source of the virus.

I’ve been following a couple of virologists on twitter the last couple of months and they were part of a recently published paper that places the origin at the Wuhan Live Market, and it was pretty convincing. I won’t inflict the paper on anyone, it is really very technical but if you really want it, google “Angela Rasmussen and Wuhan”
Basically, they examined thousands of samples from Wuhan and found the least mutated, and thus oldest, cases and they were clustered at the wet market.
So, IMO, the matter is settled.

I think Sachs is after different game. In his PNAS paper he says, “We do not assert that laboratory manipulation was involved in the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, although it is apparent that it could have been. However, we do assert that there has been no independent and transparent scientific scrutiny to date of the full scope of the US-based evidence.”
