The 17-agency U.S. intelligence community announced it reached an inconclusive assessment regarding the origins of COVID-19, including whether the virus leaked from a Chinese lab, following a 90-day investigation that was ordered earlier this year by President Joe Biden, according to a summary of the findings.
Agency officials said (pdf) the Chinese regime is still unwilling to cooperate in their probe to obtain answers about the origins of the virus. The regime would need to fully cooperate with a U.S. investigation in order to determine whether the virus came from a laboratory or not.
“China’s cooperation most likely would be needed to reach a conclusive assessment of the origins of COVID-19,” their report stated. “Beijing, however, continues to hinder the global investigation, resist sharing information and blame(s) other countries, including the United States.”
“These actions reflect, in part, China’s government’s own uncertainty about where an investigation could lead as well as its frustration the international community is using the issue to exert political pressure on China.”
Intelligence officials, the summary added, are still conflicted about whether the virus leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, in 2019, or whether it was transmitted by an animal to a human. Intelligence agencies said that the two theories are possible, said the report released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Friday.
“All agencies assess that two hypotheses are plausible: natural exposure to an infected animal and laboratory-associated incident,” the report said, adding that the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus “probably emerged and infected humans through an initial small-scale exposure that occurred no later than November 2019.”
The virus was not developed inside the lab as a biological weapon, the report found, adding that there is “low confidence” among “most agencies” that it was not genetically engineered. There was not sufficient evidence to make a concrete conclusion, it found.
“Finally, the [intellience community] assesses China’s officials did not have foreknowledge of the virus before the initial outbreak of COVID-19 emerged,” the report said. However, the CCP has not provided the intelligence community or the global scientific community with “clinical samples or a complete understanding of epidemiological data from the earliest COVID-19 cases.”
I’m going to cut through all the red tape right now and make an executive educated guess and say it out loud.
Wuhan China Flu.
There; now it’s official. ;)
Researcher: “We are looking for where this virus may have originated. Mind if we come in and look around?”
Wuhan Lab: “You are definitely not coming in here.”
Researcher: “Well, I guess we will just never know the answer.”
But US Intelligence easily pinpointed the architect of the recent Special K bombing.
And they were certain about Trump’s Russian collusion.
Yes but these aren’t ‘researchers’. This is the whole roster of US Intelligence agencies are depending on the cooperation of a hostile government to just tell them what they want to know.
Maybe they should do some of that ‘spy’ stuff we always hear about.
Are these the same people who said Saddam Hussein had WMD?
But Biden also ordered the result when he ordered the investigation.
Fine - don’t let us in we will come in with our big brother MOAB just ask the guys when Trump dropped it on them how that worked out! I have ALWAYS thought that the WUHAN BIOWEAPON LAB should have been made into a LAKE!
Too bad the IC failed to cooperate with Trump back in the day.
“Losers”...
Are these the same experts who sent 18 FBI agents to investigate an garage pull?
Or the same experts that couldn’t think of a reason to look at Hunter Biden’s laptop?
Or the same experts that couldn’t imagine that there was voter fraud in the 2016 election but none at all in 2020?
NOBODY knew shit about Corona but it became a incredible way to get power,control and more importantly MONEY.
Our intelligence agencies are more interested in hunting down patriots.
Fauci funded the Wuhan lab to make this thing.
Whether it was an intentional or accidental release does not matter that much.
Yes, amazing how sure they were about that, but could not prove any of it.
Here’s that compliment paid to the CCP by the Biden campaign for bringing in the virus which they admitted really helped fix it to get Biden elected http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3940857/posts
Hard to find something if you don’t look.
That $1.5 billion that the chinese communists gave Hunter Biden that was passed onto the democrat party with money siphoned off to Joe Biden is paying off for the communists.
17 US Intel groups wrote this POS? No wonder the Red Chinese are laughing in their egg rolls.
Wet meat markets? Bats who flew 600 miles to Wuhan just so that they could poop on the people with their virus?
We have NO reality functioning US Intelligence, period.
Yup.
Frauds.
