"New Analysis Suggests 70% Chance COVID Originated from Wuhan Lab"

A controversial new study from the University of New South Wales suggests that the available evidence points toward an unnatural origin for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, reigniting the debate over its origins. The study uses an algorithm for risk scoring to determine the likelihood of either a natural or lab origin, concluding that the pandemic was slightly more likely to have originated in a laboratory. However, many scientists are unconvinced, criticizing the study for subjective criteria and errors in its analysis. The lab leak theory has remained contentious, with ongoing debate and investigations into the origins of the virus.
