Head of US intelligence says there is no evidence that the Covid-19 virus was created in the Chinese government's Wuhan research lab
Reiterating a conclusion announced in March, the ODNI report said"almost all" of its constituent agencies, which include the NSA, the CIA and FBI, assess that Covid-19 was not genetically engineered and most believe as well it was not laboratory-adapted.
ODNI said the intelligence community remained divided on whether the pandemic arose from a natural occurence of the virus –– perhaps transferred from animals like bats –– or a from lab leak. But the coronaviruses used in this research"were too distantly related to have led to the creation of SARS-CoV-2," the report said.The ODNI report responded to the allegation that three of the scientists at the Wuhan facility who were working on coronaviruses came down with Covid-19 around just ahead of the outbreak.
