Key articles on origins of Covid-19, gain-of-function research and
biolabs - U.S. Right to Know
David A. Relman
27-34 minutes
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a reading list about what is known and not known about the
origins of SARS-CoV-2, accidents and leaks at biosafety and biowarfare
laboratories, and the health risks of gain-of-function (GOF) research,
which aims to increase the host range, transmissibility, infectivity or
pathogenicity of potential pandemic pathogens. For more information
about the U.S. Right to Know investigation into these topics, see our
biohazards page <https://usrtk.org/biohazards/>. Please sign up for our
newsletter <https://usrtk.org/sign-up/> for updates.
This reading list is a work in progress. We will update it. Please send
readings we may have missed to Sainath Suryanarayanan at
sainath at usrtk.org <mailto:sainath at usrtk.org>.
