L’Accademia nazionale di medicina francese è ora uscita ufficialmente per sostenere la teoria secondo cui Covid-19 era probabilmente causata da una perdita di laboratorio a Wuhan, in Cina.
French Academy of Medicine: COVID-19 likely result of lab accident

This is the reason we should always keep a rational thinking: ppl sharing facts to support the theory have been mocked for years and labeled as “cospirationist” just because against the mainstream narrative
Xi is more likely to apologize in a Winnie the Pooh costume for the massacre on Tiananmen Square and then sign a peace treaty in Taiwan before he ever officially confirms this.
A new strain of Corona virus appears in the only Chinese city that has a facility to do research in Corona virus… Ohh no!
Not to talk about the reaction of the Chinese government. With 10 reported cases they were already building hospitals for thousands of patients… Or the fact that they identified a new virus so fast on the first place.

People where called all sorts of bad things over saying pretty much the same.
We really lost the plot back then.
For those who stop at the headline;
“Moreover, the lab leak theory continues to compete with the hypothesis that SARS-CoV-2 naturally transmitted from bats to humans.
The possibility of transmission through a civet – a small, furry, wide-eyed mammal – was also raised by France’s National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
“The report is not intended to fuel sterile or accusatory controversies, nor to block research carried out in France – especially research involving genetic manipulation, which can be essential in many areas of biology,” the French Academy emphasised in the preamble of its report.”
it always was obvious, but in the emotions of then it could have meant war if we’d followed this to its conclusion.
Who cares?
OP could you stop spreading misinformation, please?
Conclusions from the French National Academy of Medicine’s Report
(https://www.academie-medecine.fr/de-lorigine-du-sars-cov-2-aux-risques-de-zoonoses-et-de-manipulations-dangereuses-de-virus/)
Five years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, whether or not there were dangerous virus manipulations, the fact remains that neither the intermediate animal nor the progenitor virus has been identified in nature. Many recent editorials and articles have reignited discussions about the origin of SARS-CoV-2, highlighting the political stakes linked to the COVID crisis: neither the Chinese nor the Americans want to take responsibility, and probably even less so in the current context. A recent CIA statement now leans towards an accidental origin and indicates a relaunch of an investigation and an attempt to obtain more information from China, which continues its research (including some at risk), as do the United States. “The question is not IF another pandemic can occur, but rather WHEN it will occur” (Maria D. Van Kerkhove of the WHO, which organization continues to ask Chinese authorities for transparency and data sharing, currently without real success). Everything suggests that, in the absence of data, we may never know the origin of the pandemic, or that it will take time to solve the puzzle of this incomplete picture. Ultimately, regardless of the origin of the virus, recommendations stem from these events and are essential to limit zoonotic risks, as well as those related to research on viruses with pandemic potential.
Besides the point of the article, but I’m really bothered by the fact that there is no source in the main article. Giving a link to the source is fucking relevant nowadays, especially by so-called media. Jesus.
I tried to google it to find the main document produced by the Académie de Médecine. Several French media article also quote this text, but with no linking to it. I finally found it here for anyone interested in reading what the scientific said rather that the media transcribe : [https://www.academie-medecine.fr/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/ANM-Rapport-Virus-et-Biosecurite-.pdf](https://www.academie-medecine.fr/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/ANM-Rapport-Virus-et-Biosecurite-.pdf)
The summary of the document does not say that in the terms the thread title suggests.
Roughly summarized :
The Academy : “it’s in the realm of possibilities, just like the transmissions through bats and civets”
The media :
>The French National Academy of Medicine has now come out officially to back the theory that COVID-19 was likely caused by a lab leak in Wuhan
Physicians aren’t researchers… they’re physicians.
Bad title, OP. The original now says “French Academy of Medicine: COVID-19 likely result of lab accident” which is less accusatory (except even this is still not true bc the paper states it’s about on par with the bat-to-human theory).
