The majority of the United States' 17 intelligence agencies are in agreement. They believe that the coronavirus started in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Even though the intelligence community believes this virus started in a lab, they believe its leak was unintentional and the result of an accident, a senior intelligence official told the Daily Caller.
Although all the agencies are not on board, a leaked intelligence report from the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance made up of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand shows that 70 to 75 percent of the U.S.' agencies believe the virus started in a Wuhan lab.
What the senior intelligence official told the Daily Caller confirms what Fox News' Chief White House Correspondent, John Roberts, reported on Saturday:
A Senior Intelligence Source tells me there is agreement among most of the 17 Intelligence agencies that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan lab. The source stressed that the release is believed to be a MISTAKE, and was not intentional. John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) May 2, 2020
Sources say not all 17 intelligence agencies agree that the lab was the source of the virus because there is not yet a definitive smoking gun. But confidence is high among 70-75% of the agencies. John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) May 2, 2020
The confirmation comes after President Donald Trump said last week that the intelligence agencies are in agreement on the origins of the virus.
.@realDonaldTrump says he has seen intelligence that gives him a high degree of confidence that the coronavirus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Virology - though he would not go into detail I cant say John Roberts (@johnrobertsFox) April 30, 2020
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Thursday said the intelligence community has come to a "wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified" but "will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan."
The lab's director, Yuan Zhiming, has said there is no way the Wuhan coronavirus started in his laboratory and called such claims a "conspiracy theory."
"Why are there rumors? Because the Institute of Virology and the P4 laboratory are in Wuhan, people can't help but make associations, which I think is understandable. But it's bad when some are deliberately trying to mislead people," Zhiming said last month.
The same 17 “intelligence” agencies that supported Brennan and Clappers lies.
Dirty lab and dirty wet market nearby. Virus leaked, winds up in the wet market, further mutates to infect humans; but clearly lab engineered DNA segments remain (cut from a virus that can infect humans to a bat corona virus that could not).
These would be the same 17 intelligence agencies that promoted the Russia,Russia,Russia hoax?
I believe China is solely responsible for the virus, but these same agencies totally missed 9/11 and told us Iraq had WMD, so I am very uncomfortable with them all agreeing.
I remember Hugh Hewitt announcing to the world he believed Trump had colluded with Russia Russia Russia because ALL 17 INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES agreed.
Another consensus.
Exactly. Believe NOTHING from the current employees of any intelligence agency.
The release may have been an accident, but the dispersal pattern surely was not.
MSM will report it as “designed, paid for, and distributed,” by some guy named Donald Trump...
“...the virus started.” What does that mean...started? Started how?
High school students can learn to use the more popular gene editing technique, CRISPR. It’s easy, even if it is not accurate.
There was no clear directive anywhere AGAINST enhancing the infectivity of the virus. The moratorium on gain of function had long since been lifted. It was open season on gene editing. That the gene sequence for enhancing infectivity was so small, the odds that it could be engineered are that much greater. Moreover, if the gene sequence(s) in question are from prior work and already well established, all the more reason to be able to engineer it.
Even though there are arguments about 98%, 99% similarity between the genomes of COVID-19 and related coronaviruses, the odds of just the right mutation having just the right infectivity are right up there with chimps typing a Shakespearean sonnet.
It was engineered. An excruciatingly precise investigation must be done to determine exactly who did it, when and under what circumstances. Only problem is that the communist thugs may have already made sure the responsible parties are dead and gone.
Agree! Close all Confucius Centers, send all 300,000+ Chinese students home, do not allow China to buy any US companies, all American supply chains in China have to relocate to ally countries or to the US, above all do not buy Chinese. Oh yes, to prove I am not racist, I will call Chinese food, Not as good as Thai food food.
And I’ve seen several docus that go into the extra feet-extra contagious mutation, not a natural mutation, one docu that showed the research papers by the bitch that did the gene editing from 8 years ago published in Nature Journal, The Lancet, and the New England Journal of Medicine. The negative image the world’s economies have of China won’t be easily repaired. The EU is thinking about forcing China to pay reparations. This is not in China’s best interests, not now, not long term. So who really benefits? The long range planners at Goldman Sachs and their central banking system cronies around the world. International debt is their bread and butter and they ain’t gonna let China muscle in on their territory. They are a mafia. Their unknowing lackies and bootlicks in the Democratic Party USA are joining the neocon Bilderbergers in their hatred of Trump cuz this virus is hurting Trump. Or so they think. With the bozo candidate Joe “Child Molester” Biden as their champion, they’ll have a fight on their hands. This why I fear that if Trump’s popularity show him stomping all over Biden in 4 weeks time, the Dulles CIA will unleash another hell upon the planet. You need to understand that Trump has totally trashed their timetable. This pandemic was supposed to happen under President Hillary. Had it, we’d be a heartbeat away from Police States of America and in a shooting war with China.
Our IC is a poor seer.
Politically influenced by the policy makers that control the purse, because the senior leaders are political appointees that serve their master, they simply tell the policy makers what they want to hear anyhow. The US IC is a lot like an echo chamber for whoever is in charge.
When Obama was in, and even today the reverb is still felt, “white extremists” were the flavor of the day and even so much as the term “Global War on Terror” was stricken from the vocabulary while an average of one major terrorist attack per month was occurring.
The US IC is a bone thrower, like the seer in ancient societies... They are about as accurate too.
Not zoonotic, engineered by Shi Zhengli at the lab. Patient Zero was Huang Yanling, a graduate intern at WIV. Arrived in market by Yanlings nurse after her cross infection. Huang Yangling has since had her photo and records scrubbed from the lab.
WIV was French designed, but Chinese built. Operational in 2017.
The market does not, and has NEVER sold any of the species of bat from which this virus shares 100% genetic code in key protein strings. Shi Zhengli has made multiple visits to the caves where this species of bats live, starting shortly after SARS. Her first paper was published in 2010.
Chinas Thousand Talents program helped them acquire samples from University of Texas and UNC in the US, for gain of function testing on bat based coronaviruses. The Canadian samples were also instrumental in development of the current virus.
It was the insertion of the S protein spike from HIV which allows cross species jump and easily attach to human ACE2 receptors, which Shi Zhengli published a paper on in Nov 2015.
The letter H in HIV comes from Human, and is not present in bat coronavirus genes.
Lab created - see CRISPR, which China uses extensively in its myriad bio labs.
All of what I just typed are from open sourced online documents, and they have all been discussed in our forum. Attempts to debunk them online tend to originate from what are called Little Pinks in China, this term is used for Chinese expats and students who actively promote CCP narratives in US forums, or legacy globalists from our country.
So they are coordinating their stories?
“and told us Iraq had WMD”
The Intelligence agencies did not tell us Iraq had WMD. They gave the politicians evidence that was fairly thin at best and the politicians spun it to justify the decision that they had already made.

Cant find any info on US students studying in China!
