Scientists haven't ruled out the idea that the coronavirus leaked from a lab in China.

In other words, there's a chance.

A chance? Well, but...

Oh my god, there's evidence I'd love to hear.

It's a theory that former president Trump repeatedly promoted without evidence,

which is why ex-Daily Show host John Stewart surprised some viewers when he endorsed the lab leak theory

on the late show with Stephen Colbert last week.

And then the ass of scientists are like, how did this... so wait a minute, you were at the Wuhan Respiratory Coronavirus Lab.

How did this happen? And they're like, um, a pangolin kiss the turtle?

And you're like, no.

The lab he's referring to in Wuhan specializes in coronaviruses because other coronaviruses have been found in and around China.

An outbreak in that area of the world in a city of 11 million people isn't automatically suspicious.

But that doesn't mean the issue has been put to rest.

I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened.

That was Dr. Anthony Fauci last month.

Weeks later, President Biden said there was disagreement in the American intelligence community about whether the virus emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident.

Biden ordered a 90-day review of those possibilities.

Certainly, the people who have investigated say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else.

And we need to find that out.

So, you know, that's the reason why I said I'm perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus.

Consider this. Scientists still can't say for certain how the coronavirus emerged, but that debate became political almost immediately.

And now the international effort to find answers has stalled.
