Comment by Marion Koopmans

The idea came from political circles that something must have gone wrong at a laboratory in Wuhan. I find that difficult in this pandemic. That processes get set in motion from outside science that cast doubt on the scientific consensus.

AI Verified The source URL is fetchable and contains the Dutch original: “Uit politieke kringen kwam het idee voort dat er iets mis zou zijn gegaan bij een laboratorium in Wuhan” and “Dat vind ik lastig in deze pandemie. Dat er processen op gang komen van buiten de wetenschap die de wetenschappelijke consensus in twijfel trekken.” The article explicitly says Koopmans said this during the parliamentary inquiry, so the submitted English text is a faithful translation and is correctly attributed to Marion Koopmans.
