Experts investigating virus origins weren't empowered to examine lab incident theory
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.
