A Report Finds the Wuhan Lab COVID-19 Origin Theory Plausible
A study prepared last year by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reportedly found that the theory that COVID-19 originated from a Chinese lab in Wuhan was plausible and warranted further investigation from health officials.
The Wall Street Journal, which spoke with people familiar with the classified document, reported that the May 2020 study from the California-based research facility made its conclusion based on genomic analysis of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19.
In October 2020, the study was reportedly received by the State Department, which asked Lawrence Livermore for additional information as the Trump administration in its final months conducted an inquiry into the pandemic’s origins.
