I said there was already an investigation under way that was terminated. and biden restarted AFTER the initial uproar and tasked it to the one place that he could where we may never see any results.
I use to pass this off as garbage until I read the article “The origin of COVID: Did people or nature open Pandora’s box at Wuhan?” by Nicholas Wade. I highly recommend it and no he’s not some Alex Jones figure but the former science writer of the NYT’s. He does a good job connecting dots with the gain of function research.
None of those studies show that SARS-COV2 was human designed, and this was discussed back in the early days of the pandemic…so it’s not even “new data”.
Again…lab origin remains a possibility…there is no new evidence that makes it a greater possibility now than back in early 2020 when the hypothesis was first put forward.
Biden said in the statement that in March he directed his national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, to task the intelligence community with preparing a report on the most up-to-date analysis of the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, including whether the virus emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident. Biden said he received that report earlier this month [May] and asked for additional follow-up.
The Trump era investigation closure was released by the press on May 26th. Or is there some secret “initial uproar” not known to the public?
To conclude, on the basis of currently available data it is not possible to determine whether the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 is the result of a zoonosis from a wild viral strain or an accidental escape of experimental strains.
No new data has emerged that strengthens the lab hypothesis.
