That's not a view shared by many scientists, who say there's no evidence pointing to such a finding. China, meanwhile, has pushed back against the lab leak allegations.

The charity Cardiac Risk in the Young estimates that every week, at least 12 people aged between 14 and 35 suffer sudden cardiac death - and 1 in 300 may carry the condition.
A leading pathologist has told this programme they believe those figures are an under-estimate.
The mother of one young woman who died is campaigning for grassroots sports clubs to give young athletes - who are potentially most at risk - mandatory heart screening by specialists.

,1,No power or fuel, no water coming out of the taps and food running dangerously low. The UN says the humanitarian situation in Gaza was already critical and is now "fast becoming untenable". All this as the Israeli military warns it will strike Gaza City "very soon".
Time is fast running out for the 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to comply with Israel's order to evacuate. Hundreds of thousands have fled south, despite Hamas urging them to stay put.
Earlier, Israel said it was giving them safe passage along the two main roads for six hours.
There were reports that Egypt and Israel would let foreigners leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing, but it remained shut amid wrangling over a deal to allow aid in.
The Palestinian health ministry says Israeli air strikes have killed 2,215 people in Gaza - almost a third of them children and 324 in just the last day.
And 55 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, in clashes with Israeli troops and attacks by settlers.
More than 1,300 Israelis were killed in last weekend's brutal attack by Hamas - which is designated a terrorist group by many countries.
Israel says it's confirmed that 126 civilians are being held hostage in Gaza.
