New Study Suggests COVID-19 Likely Originated from Lab, Not Animals

A new study from the University of New South Wales suggests that an unnatural origin of COVID-19 is more likely than a natural source, challenging the prevailing belief that the virus originated from animals. The study evaluates medical and non-medical evidence using a risk analysis tool, concluding that the virus's origin is plausible but not definitively proven. The study's method has drawn criticism for potential bias, with some experts expressing concerns about subjectivity in the scoring process. While the study does not provide conclusive evidence, it raises questions about the virus's origins and the need for further investigation.
