MIT Virologist Tells UK Parliamentary Committee That SARS-CoV-2 Was Likely Engineered, Originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology

While the rest of the scientific community have conveniently forgotten that their role is to question and explore without having a foregone conclusion in mind, one scientist has been at the forefront of questioning the origins of COVID-19, but her work has been largely ignored by the media and scientific community. Alina Chan, a molecular biologist at the Broad Institute of MIT and a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, told the UK Parliament Science and Technology Select Committee this week that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was likely engineered, and likely originated at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Chan began her scientific quest by asking questions but later progressed into making more direct accusations, largely because of the total and complete failure of those within the science community to give equal consideration to the lab leak potential. Chan, who has co-authored a book the Origins of COVID-19 (available on Amazon here), now lives in fear for her life, believing that if her well-evidenced theory proves correct, she could become a target of those who have the most to lose, such as the Chinese Government.
On Wednesday she testified before the UK Parliament Science and Technology Select Committee:
The Covid lab leak hypothesis is now the most likely origin of the pandemic, MPs were told today.
Dr Alina Chan, a specialist in cell engineering at Harvard and MIT, said the idea that the virus may have been genetically engineered is ‘reasonable’.
She highlighted a number of coincidences in the Covid timeline and said the state-sponsored Chinese cover-up of the early stages of the pandemic added to suspicion.
Speaking to the Science and Technology Select Committee, Dr Chan said: ‘I think the lab origin is more likely than not.
‘Right now it’s not safe for people who know about the origin of the pandemic to come forward.
‘But we live in an era where there is so much information being stored that it will eventually come out.
‘We have heard from many top virologists that a genetically engineered origin is reasonable and that includes virologists who made modifications to the first Sars [sic] virus.’
