Birx: COVID-19 ‘Came Out Of The Box Ready To Infect’

Former top White House COVID-19 adviser Dr. Deborah Birx says the coronavirus “came out of the box ready to infect.

There has been much speculation about the origin of the virus that has killed more than 6.3 million people worldwide, according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering. The virus emerged in Wuhan, China, with speculation that the virus could have emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists were researching vaccines for other coronaviruses.

Birx, an infectious diseases expert who served under former President Donald Trump, told the Daily Mail on Sunday that COVID-19 “came out of the box ready to infect” when it first emerged in December 2019.
