Biden Orders Investigation Into COVID Lab-Leak Theory as New Evidence Raises Doubt Virus Could Have Evolved Naturally
President Biden Wednesday ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to investigate the origins of the SARS-CoV-2, including whether the virus may have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.
The announcement followed on the heels of a number of recent developments, including a Wall Street Journal report earlier this week revealing that three researchers at the WIV became sick enough in November 2019 to seek hospital care.

President Biden Wednesday ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to investigate the origins of the SARS-CoV-2, including whether the virus may have escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in Wuhan, China.
The announcement followed on the heels of a number of recent developments, including a Wall Street Journal report earlier this week revealing that three researchers at the WIV became sick enough in November 2019 to seek hospital care.
Citing a previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report, the WSJ said the researchers became sick “with symptoms consistent with both COVID-19 and common seasonal illness.”
The report isn’t the only recent news to raise new questions about the lab-leak theory.
Earlier this month, in an open letter published in the Journal Science, 18 prominent scientists called for a deeper investigation into the origins of the virus.
