New reports detailed the shift in perspective, saying officials are admitting the theory is credible after being largely skeptical for most of the past year.<\/p>\n<p>The reports said at this point little evidence has been uncovered to push either the lab leak theory or the natural emergency theory. In the meantime, China has continued to deny there was a leak and instead has suggested the source may have originated from frozen food.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2459462\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2459462\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2459462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/lab-777x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"This aerial view shows the P4 laboratory (C) on the campus of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan in China&#039;s central Hubei province on May 13, 2020. - Opened in 2018, the P4 lab, which is part of the greater Wuhan Institute of Virology and conducts research on the world&#039;s most dangerous diseases, has been accused by top US officials of being the source of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
