Covid "Came Out Of A US Lab Biotechnology" Says Lancet Chairman

Covid "Came Out Of A US Lab Biotechnology" Says Lancet Chairman

Jeffrey Sachs, who chairs Covid-19 commission at the prestigious medical journal, has claimed the deadly virus did not come out of nature. Covid leaked out of a laboratory in America rather than China, it has been sensationally claimed.

Famous US economist Jeffrey Sachs, who led a two-year probe into the pandemic's origins, said he was 'pretty convinced' the virus was the result of 'US lab biotechnology.'

The claim, made at a global conference last month, has been seized upon by Chinese Government officials who said it warranted a 'thorough investigation.'

Professor Sachs, who was twice named one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world, admitted 'we don't know for sure'.

'But there's enough evidence that it should be looked into and it's not being investigated — not in the US, not anywhere.'

He added: 'I think for real reasons, they [US officials] don't want to look under the rug too much.'

Critics have previously described Professor Sachs as a President Xi 'propagandist', dismissing China's genocide of Uighurs and publicly calling for US cooperation.

While introducing this "provocative statement," Sachs suggested that he was in the loop, as he chairs the Covid-19 commission at prestigious medical journal The Lancet.

"So it's a blunder, in my view, of biotech, not an accident of a natural spillover," he reiterated.

The academic noted that while "we don't know for sure" if this is the case, there is "enough evidence" pointing to this, which "should be looked into." Sachs lamented that this version is, however, "not being investigated, not in the United States, not anywhere."

Back in May, Sachs, along with Columbia University professor of molecular pharmacology and therapeutics Neil Harrison, penned an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggesting Covid-19 had originated in a laboratory. In the paper, the two academics called for greater transparency on the part of US federal agencies and universities, arguing that a lot of pertinent evidence was not disclosed.

Virus databases, biological samples, viral sequences, email communications, and laboratory notebooks could all help shed light on the pandemic origin, according to Sachs and Harrison. However, none of these materials had been subjected to "independent, transparent, and scientific scrutiny," they argued.

As an indicator that Covid 19 had originated from a laboratory, the authors brought up the fact that a sequence of eight amino acids on a critical part of the virus's spike protein is similar to an amino acid sequence found in cells that line human airways.

In fact, Sachs is not the first one to suggest that the deadly virus had not occurred naturally.

While there is no conclusive evidence that would trace Covid-19's origin beyond a reasonable doubt, the World Health Organization (WHO) concluded in February 2021 that it had most likely been transmitted from an animal, possibly a bat, to humans.

Covid was manufactured in an American... not Chinese, laboratory, according to celebrity economist Jeffrey Sachs.
