Frida Ghitis: Lab leak theory that COVID originated in a lab fomented a surge of attacks on science, she says.
Ghitis says the claim threatens to drive researchers out of the field of pandemic epidemiology.
She says scientists and public health professionals have been harmed and institutions have been damaged by the claim, Ghitis writes.
The theory holds that SARS-CoV-2 was created or manipulated into existence in the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
Virology paper represents a long-overdue pushback by the scientific community against anti-science propaganda.
Authors are drawn from the faculties of the state universities of Arizona , California , Connecticut , Maryland , Florida and Ohio .
Authors warn that vilification of scientists whose research supports the zoonosis hypothesis will leave society defenseless when next pandemic threat emerges.
