Top Molecular Biologist believes COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology

April 5, 2020 by Wayne Creed Leave a Comment

Richard H. Ebright, a molecular biologist said in an interview with Andrew Kerr of the Daily Caller that the novel coronavirus could have been unleashed due to a leak from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Richard H. Ebright, a professor of chemical biology at Rutgers University, told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday that there is a real possibility that the virus entered the human population due to a laboratory accident.

Ebright told Beijing-based news outlet Caixin Global in February that while there is “no basis to suspect the virus was engineered,” the available data indicates that the virus’s introduction into human populations could be attributed to either natural causes or to a laboratory mishap.

The Washington Post and MSNBC have quoted Ebright saying that theories about the virus being a bioweapon should be “firmly excluded,” but neither outlet included his belief that the possibility that the virus entered the human population through a lab accident “cannot–and should not–be dismissed.”
