Original Note:
None of the research NIH funded met the definition of gain-of-function research. There's no evidence SARS-CoV-2 was made in a lab. Current evidence suggests COVID-19 originated via spillover from bats to intermediate hosts in wildlife farms/markets. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8337 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8715 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10096-020-03899-4#Sec2
