question
What was the origin of SARS-CoV-2 — natural zoonotic spillover or a research-related incident?
statement
Rootclaim assigns ~3.2% to a zoonotic-collection origin: the virus evolved in nature and was then contracted by/leaked via virus researchers, without genetic engineering.

quote
Zoonotic collection: The virus evolved in nature, and was contracted by virus researchers. 3.2%

Rootclaim’s “natural-virus, lab-associated leak” hypothesis (~3.2%): a naturally-evolved SARS-CoV-2 collected in the field and then escaping through the lab/researchers, distinct from an engineered escape.
