Viral New York Post article perpetuates the unfounded claim that the virus that causes COVID-19 is manmade

Overall, Mosher’s argument is based on unfounded speculation and scientific inaccuracies. Such claims, which continue to be perpetuated even by public officials, have real-world repercussions.
