Ex-Biden Adviser Says Pandemic Was Likely a Lab Leak
- Dr. Ashish Jha, former White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator, now believes the COVID-19 pandemic most likely originated from an accidental lab leak based on information he learned while in office, but emphasizes that no one knows for sure and calls for transparency from China.

- Early in the pandemic, many scientists favored the natural spillover theory, and the lab leak hypothesis was widely dismissed and restricted on social media, but opinions have shifted over time to acknowledge the plausibility of a lab leak, including Jha's view.
