Well, we don't know for certain, but it seems really quite likely, given the evidence that I've seen, that it originated in a Chinese lab.

I believe inadvertently, but with a lab leak that caused tremendous damage around the world. It's very clear from the diaries that Tony Fauci understood that this was a possibility. (07:52–08:01)
