Members of the British Parliament were informed that the “most likely origin” of COVID-19 was a leak from the Wuhan lab, and that the virus may in fact be genetically engineered. The news came during a briefing for the Science and Technology Select Committee.
Dr. Alina Chan – a specialist in gene therapy and cell engineering from MIT and Harvard – said: “We have heard from many top virologists that a genetically engineered origin is reasonable and that includes virologists who made modifications to the first Sars virus.”
Chan added: “We know this virus has a unique feature, called the furin cleavage site, and without this feature, there is no way this would be causing this pandemic.”
She referenced the research collaboration between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and American non-profit EcoHealth Alliance, which received millions from Anthony Fauci’s National Institutes of Health agency.
