Writing for The Mail on Sunday, Mr Becker attacked scientists who dismissed the theory Covid-19 originated in a Wuhan laboratory. He said: “Part of the opposition to the lab theory rested on
antipathy to Donald Trump and his administration's campaign against China,” wrote Becker, “Given a choice between supporting Trump or the Chinese Communist Party, most scientists
openly sided with the Chinese.” In his article, Mr Becker also pointed out China’s history of experiments on animals, which are born with mutated genetics, and the country’s previous
laboratory leaks. He suggested “China has a reputation for recklessly encouraging, or at least tolerating, all kinds of experiments that are not permitted elsewhere in the world”, and also
claimed the country’s scientists take “daring" and "unethical" risks.
