But officials told US media that the new assessment was not based on new intelligence and predates the Trump administration. The review was reportedly ordered in the closing weeks of the Biden administration and completed before Trump took office on Monday. Like you said it's unlikely we will ever know the truth either way. My argument has always been that we should have always been allowed to discuss the possibility of a lab leak.

I don’t believe in coincidences. An outbreak of a new type of disease in an area close to a laboratory specialising in obscure viruses?

I would suggest that the evidence they have access to is greater than the evidence you or I possess given the nature of their organisation. Will probably never know but it's certainly not a laughable theory, it's entirely plausible.

I'd be tempted to believe the scientists more than the spokesman for an agency working for a government with an anti-China agenda. They are free to disclose their evidence if they have any. "“Now, the most important thing is to make China pay for unleashing a plague on the world,” Cotton said in a statement."

badgerx16 Posted May 1 Posted May 1 https://observer.co.uk/culture/article/blame-bats-film-covid-review?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb "A new film about the origins of Covid-19 tells how rightwing conspiracy theorists pushed the lab-leak theory to their own ends, suppressing the work of real scientists" "Every pandemic virus in history, from influenza to HIV/Aids, started life in an animal reservoir and there was no reason to believe that Sars-CoV-2 was any different." 2 1
