Origins of this virus? well, the most likely is that it's a zoonotic origin, most likely bats and i think we may need to think about an intermediary animal to explain how it actually got into people. and what evidence are you basing that on? first of all, the genetic evidence. there's one very close relative of it. ratg-13 ratg—13 was found in bats in china in 2013 after six miners got sick. three of them died. researchers from wuhan that studied and officially identified the virus. it's a 96.2% match with sars—cov—2 and closer relatives have been found in bat caves in neighbouring laos ...

Ratg-13 that was found in bats in china in 2013 after six miners got sick. three of them died. researchers from wuhan and officially identified the virus. it is a 96.2% match with sars—cov—2 and closer relatives have been found in bat caves in neighbouring caves in the past few weeks. this is significant because both are the closest known relatives of sars—cov—2 and either, or both, could have changed enough over the past few decades to be able tojump into humans, probably through an intermediate animal. scientists have pointed to a few prime suspects, including pangolins, mink and rac...

Before. >> does the data exist to say convincingly there weren't early ancestors of the virus in the lab? >> dr. lee herself has been asked about this and she has denied it. they've tested all their bat samples in the freezers, and none of them had sars-cov-2. i trust them. we've been talking about some of the best scientists in the world here. >> but another important origin theory stems from dr. lee's lab in wuhan. somebody's the closest relative to sars-cov-2 was this bat virus called ratg-13. >> ratg-13 was found in a horseshoe bat. the sample was taken by a team of researchers from the wu...

That was taken was initially labeled by wuhan institute of virilology researchers as something called 4991. later, in the wake of covid-19, when they wrote about it, they labeled it ratg-13. researchers i write about in my story realized actually it was the same thing and the reason it matters is because it is at the moment the closest progenitor to sars cov 2 which is the virus that causes covid-19. so there are questions about whether researchers at the wuhan institute of virilology somehow attempted to conceal the links from this cave. i should say they were doing research to hopefully prep...
