US intel community remains divided on COVID-19 origins, intelligence report shows

US intel community remains divided on COVID-19 origins, intelligence report shows
US. Intelligence agencies found no direct evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic stemmed from an incident at China's Wuhan Institute of Virology. In *** declassified report, the office of the Director of National Intelligence said they have no information backing. Recent claims that three scientists at the lab were some of the very first infected with COVID-19 and may have created the virus themselves drawing on intelligence collected by various member agencies of the US intelligence community. The ODN report said some scientists at the Wuhan lab had done genetic engineering of coronavirus similar to COVID-19, but the US has no information indicating they had done such work on the specific COVID-19 virus known as SARS COV two or *** backbone virus that is closely related enough to have been the source of the pandemic. Three months after Congress requested *** more comprehensive account of the US intelligence. Regarding the origins of the pandemic. The report was submitted, the report accompanied by *** classified annex that remains unreleased addresses, allegations made by certain lawmakers suggesting that the virus was the result of gain of function genetic engineering research conducted in Wuhan. Furthermore, it explores claims that Beijing concealed evidence indicating the virus was artificially created. Lawmakers claim the virus originated from gain of function genetic engineering research in Wuhan and Beijing concealed evidence indicating its artificial creation as *** man made disease. The ODNI report reconfirming its March conclusion, stated that almost all constituent agencies including the NSA CIA and FBI assessed that COVID-19 was not genetically engineered and for the most part, not lab adapted. But the O DNA report as in March did not dismiss the possibility that COVID-19 was being examined in the Wuhan lab at the time and may have leaked out through carelessness. According to the ODNI, the intelligence community remains split on whether the pandemic originated naturally, potentially through animal transmission such as bats or if it resulted from *** lab leak at times on land report.

Intelligence officials under President Joe Biden have been pushed by lawmakers to release more material about the origins of COVID-19. But they have repeatedly argued China's official obstruction of independent reviews has made it perhaps impossible to determine how the pandemic began.

The newest report angered some Republicans who have argued the administration is wrongly withholding classified information and researchers who accuse the U.S. of not being forthcoming.

John Ratcliffe, who served as U.S. director of national intelligence under former President Donald Trump, accused the Biden administration of 바카라 게임 웹사이트continued obfuscation.바카라 게임 웹사이트

바카라 게임 웹사이트The lab leak is the only theory supported by science, intelligence, and common sense,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Ratcliffe said in a statement.

There was newfound interest from researchers following the revelation earlier this year that the Department of Energy's intelligence arm had issued a report arguing for a lab-related incident.

But Friday바카라 게임 웹사이트s report said the intelligence community has not gone further. Four agencies still believe the virus was transferred from animals to humans, and two agencies 바카라 게임 웹사이트 the Energy Department and the FBI 바카라 게임 웹사이트 believe the virus leaked from a lab. The CIA and another agency have not made an assessment.

Located in the city where the pandemic is believed to have began, the Wuhan Institute of Virology has faced intense scrutiny for its previous research into bat coronaviruses and its reported security lapses.

The lab genetically engineered viruses as part of its research, the report said, including efforts to combine different viruses.

But the report says U.S. intelligence 바카라 게임 웹사이트has no information, however, indicating that any WIV genetic engineering work has involved SARS-CoV-2, a close progenitor, or a backbone virus that is closely-related enough to have been the source of the pandemic.바카라 게임 웹사이트

And reports of several lab researchers falling ill with respiratory symptoms in fall 2019 are also inconclusive, the report argues.

U.S. intelligence, the report said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트continues to assess that this information neither supports nor refutes either hypothesis of the pandemic's origins because the researchers' symptoms could have been caused by a number of diseases and some of the symptoms were not consistent with COVID-19."

Responding to the report, the Republican chairs of the House Intelligence Committee and a select subcommittee on the pandemic jointly said they had gathered information in favor of the lab leak hypothesis.

But Alina Chan, a molecular biologist who has long argued the virus may have originated in the Wuhan lab, noted the public version of the report did not include the names of researchers who fell sick or other details mandated by Congress.

The bill requiring the review allowed intelligence officials to redact information publicly to protect agency sources and methods.
