> yet the lab itself did nothing to help during the pandemic.

Which people in this thread are somehow believing as truth instead of the bald-faced propaganda it is.

Do you actually think a virus research lab in the epicentre of an outbreak would not be put to use?

From Wikipedia:

> As the virus spread worldwide, the institute continued its investigation. In February 2020, a team led by Shi Zhengli at the institute were the first to identify, analyze and name the genetic sequence of the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), upload it to public databases for scientists around the world to understand,[28][29][30] and publish papers in Nature.[31] On 19 February 2020, the lab released a letter on its website describing how they successfully obtained the whole virus genome.[32]
