(Times of India: Corona does not have natural ancestor)

This claim seems more likely. I like to believe this one.

At the beginning of the Covid pandemic, some idiot claimed

that it could not have made in the lab. I remember and laughed at it.

I heard same interpretation/suspicion already last year through my old colleagues/virologists at the Hopkins so that it is NOT a surprise at all to me but it cretainly will remain as 'the fact to be proven'. Indeed, I was told that this one specific segment of COVID doesn't belong to this virus; it simply can NOT exist as its genuine original part of the virus but it is only possible to be a part of the virus as a 'man-added' segment. Regretfully, unless they get caught red handedly, there is NO way to confirm this virus spilled/leaked out by accident from the Lab - wonder whether the Farty didn't kill two technicians to erase/remove the evidence, who were accidentally contaminated to spread the virus?-.

그럼에도 불구하고 ‘우한연구소 유출설’은 그동안 본격적으로 제기되지 못했습니다.    
일단 중국 정부가 강력하게 ‘유출설’을 부인하는데다..친중인사인 영국 동물학자 자다크(에코헬스얼아이언스 대표)가 과학자들의 연대서명을 받아 의학전문지 ‘란셋’에 ‘유출설은 비과학적 음모론’이란 주장을 펼친데다..마침 트럼프가 음모론을 주장하는 바람에 과학계가 더 외면했습니다. 과학자들은 ‘트럼프 같은 음모론자로 오해받을까 조심스러웠다’고 합니다.

In 2020 Daszak was named by the World Health Organization as the sole U.S.-based representative on a team sent to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic,^[14] a team that also included Marion Koopmans, Hung Nguyen, and Fabian Leendertz.^[14] He had previously collaborated for many years with Shi Zhengli, the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. He told the Wall Street Journal, that he had disclosed potential conflicts of interest in his application to the W.H.O.^[15] The appointment caused Daszak to be caught in "political cross-hairs" over the collaboration, and delayed additional funding to the EcoHealth organisation:^[9] prior to the pandemic, Daszak and EcoHealth Alliance had been the only U.S.-based organization researching coronavirus spread and transmission in China^[16]

The project's funding was "abruptly terminated" by the National Institutes of Health, in a move that was widely reported to be politically motivated.^[17][18] A May 8, 2020 article in the journal Science stated that the unusual April 24 decision to cut EcoHealth's funding had occurred shortly after "President Donald Trump alleged – without providing evidence – that the pandemic virus had escaped from a Chinese laboratory supported by the NIH grant, and vowed to end the funding."^[19]

The move was roundly criticized, including by a group of 77 Nobel laureates, who wrote NIH Director Francis Collins that they "are gravely concerned"^[20] by the decision and called the funding cut "counterintuitive, given the urgent need to better understand the virus that causes COVID-19 and identify drugs that will save lives."^[21]

On April 1, 2020, following the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, the USAID granted $2.26 million to the EcoHealth program for a six-month emergency extension;^[22][23] UC Davis announced that the extension would support "detection of SARS CoV-2 cases in Africa, Asia and the Middle East to inform the public health response", as well as investigation of "the animal source or sources of SARS CoV-2 using data and samples collected over the past 10 years in Asia and Southeast Asia."^[23]

I think someone must look into the relationship between Dr. Daszak(EcoHealth Alliance) and 

Chinese government. I am not sure he is innocent of concealing lab leak theory.
