The CIA believes COVID most likely originated from a lab but has low confidence in its own finding

WASHINGTON (AP) — The CIA now believes the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic most likely originated from a laboratory, according to an assessment that points the finger at China even while acknowledging that the spy agency has “low confidence” in its own conclusion.

The finding is not the result of any new intelligence, and the report released Saturday was completed at the behest of the Biden administration and former CIA Director William Burns. It was declassified and released Saturday on the orders of President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the agency, John Ratcliffe, who was sworn in Thursday as director.

The nuanced finding suggests the agency believes the totality of evidence makes a lab origin more likely than a natural origin. But the agency’s assessment assigns a low degree of confidence to this conclusion, suggesting the evidence is deficient, inconclusive or contradictory....

10 minutes of polticians and experts and news media LYING and GASLIGHTING.



But hey, I'm sure everything else they tell us is true.
the vaccines are all safe & effective, Ivermectin is just horse medicine and doesn't work, Oswald killed JFK, the Russians blew up their own pipeline ietc etc

I don't recall the CIA saying anything about the origin of covid. If they did, it would be whatever the Biden Administration told them they were allowed to say. They have clearances and are told what they are allowed to say. It's that simple.

IIRC, people on the right claimed it came from the Wuhan Lab in China, with Fauci funding "something" in the Wuhan Lab, in some way that was not pursued by the Biden Admin. The people on the left, MSM and Biden Admin said they didn't know, there was no proof, and sold the wet bat theory rather than confront China and its lab work. AND we have all known this for 4(?) years?

The Biden Admin, Dems, the MSM and Fauci lying isn't news. Some evidence leading to a conviction would be news.

Deborah Brix - White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator - former military
-the other official Covid Spokesperson, who some say is actually MORE responsible than Fauci-

Fox news report shows that she was lying and making up things and also knew all along that it was a lab leak but lied about it.

(If Fox news is on rumble does it mean that it can be ignored as a "bad/questionable source" though?)

the link below shows that there was a military component to the response. FDA and DoD connections. and Pfizer contract pre-"pandemic".

USAID PREDICT: REDUCING PANDEMIC RISK, PROMOTING GLOBAL HEALTH

A 2014 archived USAID report proudly states that the agency funded research on "novel bat SARS-like coronaviruses" at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

These newly identified coronaviruses were found to bind to the human ACE-2 receptor, suggesting the potential for direct transmission from bats to humans.

Similarly, SARS-CoV-2—the virus responsible for COVID-19—exhibited a highly efficient ability to bind to the ACE-2 receptor, significantly enhancing its ability to infect humans.

The USAID report states:

"In China, PREDICT partnered with USAID and set up long-term collaborations with the Wuhan Institute of Virology."

"PREDICT isolated for the first time SARS-like coronaviruses from bats sampled in China, fully characterized the whole genome of two novel bat SARS-like coronaviruses, and demonstrated a bat SARS-like coronavirus with 99.98% sequence homology to SARS coronavirus. The virus was found to bind to the human ACE-2 cell receptor, suggesting that direct transmission to humans from bats is possible."

"PREDICT has found a surprisingly high number of positives of SARS-like coronaviruses in bats sampled in China. Several of these viruses were novel, and some bats tested positive for multiple novel viruses."

"PREDICT investigators also isolated for the first time and characterized the binding receptor from a SARS-like coronavirus from a Chinese horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus sinicus; Ge et al. 2013). Results showed the virus was able to bind to the human ACE-2 cell receptor, suggesting that direct transmission to humans from bats is possible."

Was research on novel bat coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology a good use of American taxpayer funds?
