Covid origin likely China lab incident - FBI chief

U.S. government agencies appear to remain divided on the COVID origins issue:

 

"Wray’s comments come just days after news of the Department of Energy’s “low-confidence” assessment that Covid-19 most likely originated from a laboratory leak in China, underscoring a divide in the US government as the majority of the intelligence community still believes that Covid either emerged naturally in the wild, or that there is still too little evidence to make a judgment one way or another.

 

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a 2021 report that revealed the National Intelligence Council, along with four other unidentified agencies, assessed with low confidence that the initial Covid-19 infection “was most likely caused by natural exposure to an animal infected with it or a close progenitor virus.”

 

The FBI also apparently has had its same opinion for the past two years, so Wray's comments to Fox News appear to simply re reinforcing what the bureau has believed for some time.

 

"CNN reported in 2021, citing two sources familiar with the matter, that the FBI had “moderate confidence” in the lab-leak theory."

And:

 

"Wray's admission marks the second government agency to publicly back the lab leak theory. The Department of Energy also has backed the assessment  that COVID began in a lab, but has labeled it with its "low confidence" rating.

 

Other intelligence agencies are split or undecided on the origin, with some having "low confidence" that COVID-19 began naturally when the virus transmitted from an animal to a human."

ahhh yes....another one of what were deemed  'conspiracy theories' that seems to now have legs.....

 

More holes in the Covid story than a block of Swiss Cheese. 

I didn't know that Swiss cheese could catch Covid!

 

Seriously though, when you consider that viruses, bacteria and fungal infections can be zoonotic, and some very serious ones have jumped from animals to humans, then the theory that Covid came from an animal (bat for example) is very plausible indeed, and even now the medical specialists/profession seem "split" on the origins of it.
