A scientist working at a controversial research lab in China has claimed the new coronavirus is a man-made virus that leaked from the facility, according to a report.
Andrew Huff, who works for a nonprofit organization in New York that studies viruses, said that COVID leaked from China's Wuhan Institute of Virology more than two years ago and accused authorities of responding to "the biggest intelligence failure in the United States since 9/11." .
This was reported by the British "Sun" on Saturday. The lab has been at the center of a bitter debate over the origin of COVID, with both Chinese government officials and lab workers denying that the virus escaped from the facility.
In his new book, The Truth About Wuhan, epidemiologist Huff says the pandemic is the result of US government funding to fight the coronavirus in China.
