COVID-19 may have originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, not a wet market — documented evidence
PARTIAL

Initially dismissed as a racist conspiracy theory, the lab leak hypothesis gained mainstream acceptance after the FBI and Department of Energy concluded with varying confidence that a lab leak was the most likely origin. A 2023 Senate report found substantial evidence pointing to the WIV. The WHO investigation was criticized as compromised by Chinese government interference. Multiple intelligence agencies now consider the lab leak plausible.
