Coronavirus Origins: Covid-19 Wasn’t Produced In A Lab, Scientists Conclude

Author: “The virus is the product of natural evolution, ending any speculation about

deliberate genetic engineering.”

JUPITER, Fla. — Over the course of this Covid-19 ordeal, a number of outlandish conspiracy

theories have emerged that the virus was produced in a Chinese, Canadian, or American lab.

Conspiracy theories have become an increasingly common part of everyday life in recent

years, but a new study on Covid-19’s origins is disproving this theory. A team of

international researchers have concluded that the novel coronavirus has entirely natural

origins through evolution.

Public genome sequence data on Covid-19, as well as similar viruses, was extensively

analyzed for this study. The results show absolutely no indication that the virus was

produced artificially or in a lab setting.

“By comparing the available genome sequence data for known coronavirus strains, we can

firmly determine that SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes,” comments co-author

Kristian Andersen, PhD, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps

Research, in a release.

Researchers from Columbia University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of

Sydney also worked on this project.

Coronaviruses in general are nothing new. The two most recent examples of a new coronavirus

popping up are the SARS outbreak in Asia around 2003 and MERS in the Middle East in 2012.

This new strain, largely being referred to as Covid-19, was only brought to the WHO’s

attention on New Year’s Eve 2019…

…It was this genetic template that allowed the study’s authors to investigate the virus'

origins. They discovered that Covid-19’s receptor-binding domain (RBD), a kind of “grappling

hook” that attaches itself to host cells, had evolved to target a specific molecular feature

of human cells. That feature is called ACE2, and it is a receptor involved in maintaining

regular blood pressure. The research team believe this development was the work of natural

selection, not some type of genetic engineering.

Why? The virus appears to be so efficient at its newly evolved skill, that it is essentially

impossible that modern science could have created such a monstrosity.

Additionally, if some nefarious entity were really attempting to create a deadly virus, they

would have based it off of a known illness-causing virus. Researchers say that Covid-19’s

molecular structure is quite different from previous coronaviruses, and more closely mimics

viruses found in bats and pangolins…

…“It is crucially important to bring an evidence-based view to the rumors that have been

circulating about the origins of the virus (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19,” adds Josie

Golding, PhD, epidemics lead at UK-based Wellcome Trust. “They conclude that the virus is

the product of natural evolution, ending any speculation about deliberate genetic

engineering.”

So, what are Covid-19’s true origins? Two main theories. The first

is that the virus evolved pathogenically through natural selection within a non-human host

and then made the jump to people. If this was the case, it’s likely that the virus evolved

within bats, made the jump to an intermediary host, and then was passed onto a human.

The second theory is that the virus was largely non-pathogenic before making the transition

to humans, and only evolved into it’s current deadly form within the human population.

At this point, researchers believe it’s nearly impossible to determine which of the two

scenarios occurred. That being said, we should all hope for scenario two. If the novel

coronavirus did in fact transfer over to humans already in its fully evolved pathogenic

form, that would raise the chances of further outbreaks in the future.
