Description
Discover the thought-provoking exploration of the origins of COVID-19 in 'Where COVID Came From.' This compelling essay by renowned science writer Nicholas Wade critically examines whether the COVID virus jumped from animals to humans or if it might have escaped from a laboratory. With its unique focus on the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the safety measures—or lack thereof—in place, Wade presents a persuasive argument favoring the lab escape theory based on the current evidence. As the pandemic continues to spark global debate, this book delves into the politicization surrounding the origins of COVID-19 and the mainstream media's failure to address the complexities involved. This is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the scientific basis behind the origins of COVID-19, framed within the wider context of virology research.

Description:
Did the Covid virus jump naturally from an animal species to humans, or did it escape from a laboratory experiment? In this essay, science writer Nicholas Wade explores the two scenarios and argues that, on present evidence, lab escape is the more likely explanation. His inference is based on specific research being conducted at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the Institute’s lack of adequate safety precautions, together with the continuing absence of any direct evidence to support natural emergence.The essay discusses the failure of the mainstream media to penetrate the self-interested assurance of virologists that lab escape was a dismissible conspiracy theory. It also notes how the politicization of discussion impeded consideration of the scientific facts.
