Ep. 234 - The Real Origin of the COVID-19 virus: A Lab Leak or from Nature? And Why it Matters.
from The Smartest Doctor in the Room · host Dean Mitchell
The evidence increasingly points to a laboratory origin for COVID-19, not a natural spillover from the Wuhan wet market. In this episode, returning guest Steven Quay, MD, PhD, FCAP, Chairman, President, & CEO of Atossa Therapeutics, walks through the case built in his book, The Code as Witness. He explains why none of the animals or market workers tested showed signs of infection, how a 2012 mining accident produced a coronavirus strain closely related to SARS-CoV-2, and what the furin cleavage site reveals about possible genetic engineering. The conversation also covers gain-of-function research, biosafety failures at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and concrete steps that could help prevent the next pandemic.About the Guest:Steven Quay, MD, PhD, FCAPChairman, President, & CEO of Atossa TherapeuticsWebsiteLinkedInX: @quay_drOrder your copy of Dr. Steven Quay's book, The Code as Witness, here.Live Q&A with Dr. Mitchell, August 19: How Stress Turns Into Disease, and What Actually Works to Lower ItNobody just gets colitis.
