Trump aide claims Covid 'came out of the box ready to infect'

Daily Mail  

Former President Donald Trump’s adviser believes Covid-19 could have leaked from a Wuhan lab where scientists were working on vaccines for similar viruses. Infectious diseases expert and former presidential Covid adviser Dr Deborah Birx told The Mail on Sunday that coronavirus ‘came out of the box ready to infect’ when it emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. Former US President Donald Trump’s Covid adviser Dr Deborah Birx believes the virus could have leaked from a lab where it was being worked on by scientists She accused China of initially covering up how infectious Covid was. Because people can catch Covid asymptomatically – meaning they don’t show symptoms – Dr Birx argues a Wuhan scientist could have easily walked out of the lab with it. The then-President Donald Trump listens as Dr. Deborah Birx, White House coronavirus response coordinator speaks about Covid in 2020 Birx is pictured above during a viral reaction to Trump's 2020 comments that injecting disinfectant might cure coronavirus ‘I think the world lost several months of preparation because we were thinking there wasn’t that level of human-to-human spread when there clearly was.’ Dr Birx’s comments came a month after the MoS revealed that the head of the World Health Organization privately believes the Covid pandemic started following a Chinese lab leak.
