Original Note:
This is a New York Time op-ed expressing a belief, not citing definite facts. It is also not the first time that the NYT has published such a suggestion, going back to May 2021: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/27/briefing/lab-leak-theory-covid-origins.html However, there is still no evidence for the "lab leak" theory, which most scientists discount. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_SARS-CoV-2
