As Beijing continues to stonewall international demands to know more about the origins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that spread COVID-19 throughout the world, more scientists are coming forward to insist that the lab leak theory of COVID-19 s origins is credible, and that it will remain so unless Beijing comes forward with more information proving it incorrect.
Regular Zero Hedge readers might remember that we were abruptly banned from Twitter last summer for reporting on the leak conspiracy theory .

Covid-19, which emerged in China in late 2019, has killed 3.34 million people, cost the world trillions of dollars in lost income, and upended normal life for billions of people. More investigation is still needed to determine the origin of the pandemic, said the 18 scientists, including Ravindra Gupta, a clinical microbiologist at the University of Cambridge, and Jesse Bloom, who studies the evolution of viruses at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
