More than a year ago, in February 2020, a group of 27 scientists wrote a letter published in The Lancet condemning “conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin.”
Although The Lancet — like other medical journals — requires contributors to disclose any financial or personal interests that might be viewed as possible conflicts of interests with their submissions, the 27 said “We declare no competing interests.”
