Ex-CDC Director supports theory that Covid originated in a lab

Scientists claiming a lab leak is "extremely unlikely" are simply ignorant of the facts of how often lab leaks and protocol breaches occur:

>The CDC’s Select Agents and Toxins program requires that “theft, loss, release causing an occupational exposure, or release outside of primary biocontainment barriers” of agents on its watchlist be immediately reported. Between 2005 and 2012, the agency got 1,059 release reports — an average of an incident every few days.[1]

Soviet authorities covered up the Sverdlovsk lab leak by blaming it on local meat markets, and this exaplanation was investigated and validated by leading US scientists, only to be further investigated and invalidated years later[2]
