Emails obtained through an open records request show that several top scientists declined in an early statement about the origins of SARS-Cov-2 to acknowledge the possibility that the virus had escaped from a lab, a scenario that many disease experts still consider highly plausible.
a footnote to that sentence suggests that the writers might “possibly add [a] brief explanation that this does not preclude an unintentional release from a laboratory studying the evolution of related coronaviruses.”
Neither passage made it into the final document.
