Chinese lab linked to Covid leak may have also released 'highly evolved' strain of polio, new research claims.
Researchers at France 's Pasteur Institute examined the novel polio strain's genome, catalogued as 'WIV14' by the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology , showing that the mutated virus matched this typically tightly held lab strain ' higher than 99 percent ' If true, the theory would join a chorus of outcry over safety lapses at China 's state-run infectious disease lab, whose US funding was cut last year .
Wuhan Institute of Virology's lab for 'special pathogens and biosafety' was so perplexed by the WIV14 strain that they reported it as a 'highly evolved' mutation of another lab-held strain, named after Dr Albert Sabin .
The Pasteur Institute team forcefully contradicted that theory in their new study.
The Rutgers molecular biologist Dr Ebright , who did not work on the Pasteur study, told DailyMail.com: 'It is not impossible, but it is unlikely'.
