The head of the US National Health Institutions (under the Ministry of Health and Social Services) Francis Collins stated the absence of evidence of the COVID-19 laboratory origin. However, this version cannot be excluded, he believes. It is reported by RIA Novosti.
The Fox News TV Specialist reminded the previously visible versions of the creation of coronavirus in the laboratory in the development of biological weapons. However, Collins noted, it does not coincide with the known information on this viral genome. As for the versions, that the virus spread from the Chinese laboratory “by mistake”, he stated that “never excluded this, although there is no evidence of this.”
Speaking about the leakage version of the coronavirus from the laboratory, Collins called for trying to “clarify the difference between various allegations and capabilities.” “Some of them are rather incredible, some are still plausible. Extraordinary statements require extraordinary evidence,” the head of National Institutes of Health of the United States has summarized.
On May 28, the US Directory announced the presence of some data by which the source of the occurrence of the coronavirus of a new type can be established. We can talk about such information as the movement of the laboratory workers in the Uhana and the nature of the start of the coronavirus outbreak.
May 20 in the United States stated that there are “serious indirect evidence” that the first flash of the coronavirus SARS-COV-2 occurred as a result of leakage from the Chinese research laboratory.
In late March, WHO released a report on the results of a trip to Chinese Wuhan in order to figure out the origin of coronavirus. The report states that a pandemic is likely to not leak from the laboratory.
