How can we be sure Covid-19 is not from a lab while the controversy keeps abounding? Science Alert says researchers are tired of explaining it is not human-made. Yet despite all of this the rumors are not likely to settle for a while.

Scientific Proof We Can Be Sure Covid-19 Is Not From a Lab

Nigel McMillan is a respected immunologist from Menzies Health Institute in Queensland Australia. He says they ran the numbers and all evidence supports the theory the virus is a natural phenomenon. Therefore we can be sure Covid-19 is not from a lab, he assures us.

Moreover, if we tried to design it in a lab, the sequence changes would make no sense at all. He assured Science Alert of this fact on April 20, 2020. Moreover, we have no lab systems to make the changes in the first place, he explained. Nature Medicine reported similar findings on March 19, 2020

SARS-CoV-2 Is Not a Purposefully Manipulated Virus

Nature Medicine agrees it is improbable the virus causing Covid-19 is a laboratory product. That’s because the genetic information ‘irrefutably shows’ it did not derive from another previously used virus backbone. Instead, they believe the virus is the result of natural selection in a host.

Natural selection ensures organisms with favorable traits are more likely to reproduce, and so improve their adaption to the environment. They say this transition could have occurred before or after the virus transferred from an animal to a human host. Either way we can be sure Covid-19 is not from a lab.

For years scientists warned governments a new disease was on the horizon according to Nature Medicine. We believe we should act responsibly, and not spread false rumors now this has happened in our lifetime.

About Author

Electricity has always intrigued me. I have been writing about batteries and energy storage for more than ten years, and have published over 4,000 articles on this website. During that time, I have researched developments across lead-acid, lithium-ion, sodium-ion, flow batteries, and emerging energy-storage technologies. My goal is to explain complex battery concepts in clear, practical language that anyone can understand. My writing career began unexpectedly after leaving the corporate world. What started as a search for a new direction gradually became a fascination with batteries, renewable energy, and the science that powers modern life. Writing may not have made me wealthy, but it has given me the opportunity to explore an industry that continues to evolve in remarkable ways.
