The spread of the Corona virus most likely originated from a laboratory leak in China

FBI Director Christopher Wray said, “An earlier assessment by the US domestic intelligence agency indicated that the spread of the Corona virus most likely arose from a laboratory leak in China.”

And he indicated, in an interview with the American Fox News channel, that “the FBI has assessed for some time now that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a possible laboratory accident in Wuhan,” where the virus first appeared in 2019, and he went on to say that the American agency assumed that “. A potential leak from a Chinese government-run laboratory responsible for the global virus outbreak that has killed millions of Americans.

“The investigation is still ongoing,” the FBI director added, saying he was “currently unable to share many classified details,” and noted, “I will only make the observation that the Chinese government, it seems to me, is doing its best to try to thwart the work.” here and black it out.”

and “This is unfortunate for everyone, including the US government and close foreign partners.” According to the Wall Street Journal report, the US Department of Energy is said to have changed its assessment of the virus’s origin and now assumes that a possible laboratory accident could be responsible, but only with a “low” degree of certainty. China rejects the allegations, and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman in Beijing Mao Ning said investigations into the virus’ origins are a scientific matter and should “not be politicized”.

And previously, a secret US intelligence report concluded that “the Corona virus leaked from the Wuhan laboratory in China, according to what was reported by the “Wall Street Journal.” However, the report prepared by the Ministry of Energy and delivered a copy of it to the White House and Congress ruled out that the Corona leak was the result of a program Chinese military.

And the World Health Organization had stressed at the end of 2022 that “the hypothesis that the origin of the virus is artificial is the least likely.”
