U.S. Intelligence Community Divided On Covid Bioweapon Claims

An unclassified intelligence report on the origins of COVID-19 was released by the Director of National Intelligence on findings released in August of a 90-day review ordered by President Joe Biden  

Daily Mail: Intelligence report concludes coronavirus was NOT developed as biological weapon - but origin will never conclusively be known because China is obstructing investigation and blaming US  

* The paper issued by the Director of National Intelligence elaborates on findings released in August of a 90-day review ordered by President Joe Biden 

* That review said that intelligence agencies were divided on the origins of the virus but that analysts do not believe the virus was developed as a bioweapon 

* The so-called 'lab leak theory' has been a source of controversy as former President Donald Trump and his supporters long argued that a leak was possible 

* US government now concedes that theory is plausible - but refuses to commit to whether COVID came from Wuhan Institute of Virology 

* China has resisted global pressure to cooperate fully with investigations into the pandemic or provide access to genetic sequences of coronaviruses 

* Biden launched the review amid growing momentum for the theory - initially broadly dismissed by experts - that the virus leaked from the Wuhan lab 

A declassified US intelligence report has concluded COVID wasn't developed as a biological weapon - but conceded that coronavirus may well have emerged from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. 

The paper issued by the Director of National Intelligence on Friday elaborates on findings released in August of a 90-day review ordered by President Joe Biden. 

That review said that U.S. intelligence agencies were divided on the origins of the virus, but that analysts do not believe the virus was developed as a bioweapon, and that most agencies believe the virus was not genetically engineered.
