Three scientists who worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in eastern China were among the first to be infected by the coronavirus in 2019, a new report says.
Michael Shellenberger, president of Environmental Progress, says he was able to confirm the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic and identify the first three individuals who contracted the virus.
"According to multiple U.S. government officials interviewed as part of a lengthy investigation by Public and Racket, the first people infected by the virus, ‘patients zero,’ included Ben Hu, a researcher who led the WIV’s ‘gain-of-function' research on SARS-like coronaviruses, which increases the infectiousness of viruses," the article reads.
"What they were doing at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was taking dangerous, scary viruses and making them scarier," Jamie Metzl of the Atlantic Council told Fox News early last year.
