Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has penned a statement refuting "misinformation" about the origins of COVID-19, specifically focusing on federally funded coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).

The WIV has been at the center of COVID lab leak theories throughout the pandemic, partly due to its proximity to the Chinese city where the first cases of COVID-19 were reported.
