Every single claim here is false
The WIV's collection of bat samples represents a documented source of SARS-CoV-2-related viruses in Wuhan, a significant distance from where they are endemic. WIV researchers conducted studies of the genetic changes necessary for adaptation of SARS-related viruses to humans; manipulated genomes which resulted in increased infection of human cells and pathology in animals expressing the human receptor; proposed to construct viruses with genomic elements like those found in SARS-CoV-2; and conducted much of their research in laboratories that most experts agree lacked the sufficient level of biosafety for research of pathogens with pandemic potential
