First media connection between Wuhan BSL-3 Lab and the new coronavirus

The British Daily Mail was one of the first to suggest a connection between the new coronavirus and the Wuhan National Biosafety Laboratory housed at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, followed by the Washington Times.

The Wuhan BSL-4 lab is located 20 miles away from the Huanan Seafood Market. The lab happens to be the only BSL-4 lab in China designated for studying dangerous pathogens.

Shortly after, the main stream media and “scientists conspired and dubbed the lab leak possibility as a “conspiracy theory“, frantically steering the narrative towards a natural, animal origin.
