Experts investigating virus origins weren't empowered to examine lab incident theory
2:37:51 - 2:39:33 (01:41)
The joint study investigating the zoonotic origins of COVID-19 was not empowered to examine the lab incident origin hypothesis, despite the US government proposing three experts, including those with a lot of background investigating lab incidents. The investigation team included Peter Dasek, who had an established funding relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology and had previously collaborated with Shih-Jang Lee on a letter suggesting the virus originated naturally.

Summary
The origins of the COVID-19 virus are still unclear, and it is possible that the Wuhan market could have been the origin, or one of the two branches of the virus that emerged early on. Developing vaccines that come to market faster and have more variable efficaciousness is crucial for addressing future emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2 and engineered bugs.
