There is hardly a human alive who wasn't affected in some way by the COVID-19 pandemic. But almost two years after the SARS-CoV-2 virus began infecting people in the city of Wuhan in China, the world still has no clear answer on exactly where the virus came from.
In Origins: Birth of a Pandemic, journalist John Duffy explores the strong possibility that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Built from interviews with scientists from around the world who have been working to get to the bottom of how the pandemic began, Origins critiques the media and academic institutions that tried to denigrate the lab leak hypothesis.
