NEW - Drosten: "Things were done in #Wuhan (...) that could be considered dangerous. They've added new properties to bat viruses, but not ones that could be precursors to Sars-CoV-2."
"Many scientists, including myself, put their hand in the fire for the colleagues from Wuhan in a statement (...) at that time, but were not informed about these [gain-of-function] projects."
Drosten co-signed the Lancet letter that "strongly condemned conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin."
