A scientist who signed a letter denouncing any notion that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus didn’t originate naturally now backs an investigation into the origins of the virus.

Dr. Peter Palese, a microbiologist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, was one of 27 scientists who signed the letter, which was published in The Lancet on March 7, 2020.
