## Resource

Five years after COVID-19 upended the world, the debate over where the virus came from is far from over. Physician-scientist and author of “The Code as Witness” Dr. Steven Quay joins us to explain why he believes the strongest evidence for a lab leak isn't hidden in government files—it's written into the genetic code of the virus. He lays out the genomic clues behind his case, weighs in on gain-of-function research, and argues what must change to prevent the next pandemic.
