Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19 (2021) explores the possible origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.

They provide a transparent and comprehensive account of the events that have taken place during the world's search for the origins of COVID-19.

The natural origin theory has been the default assumption thus far, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the truth.
