"The Potential Responsibility of the US for Covid-19: Uncovering the Lab Leak Theory"

Jeffrey Sachs argues that the U.S. government's funding and support of dangerous laboratory research may have led to the creation and accidental release of SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the Covid-19 pandemic. He calls for an independent investigation, a global halt on such research, and rigorous legal and financial accountability for governments that violate international safety norms through dangerous research activities. Sachs suggests that the U.S. owes the world the full truth and possibly financial compensation, depending on the facts that ultimately emerge.
