Original Note:
The claim SARS-CoV-2 was created by EcoHealth Alliance at the Wuhan Institute of Virology is false and misleading. None of the research involved making viruses more transmissible to humans. The SARS-CoV-2 genetic sequence does not point to molecularly engineered origins https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10096-020-03899-4#Sec2 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2211107119 https://www.mintpressnews.com/lab-leak-gain-function-media-myths-swirling-around-wuhan-institute/278555/
