He also said COVID-19 might have come from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan. He also read an email sent to one of his colleagues in February 2020 during his testimony. His colleague became also worried about the origin of COVID-19 in their country.

Hence, Dr. Anthony encouraged his colleague in the email to investigate a virus leak from a Chinese lab to the US. He also urged him to gather evidence as soon as possible. And then to report it to relevant authorities about what they found if they were right to become worried.

He said it is impossible that anyone who reads this email could conclude that he was trying to cover up the possibility of a laboratory leak.
