With the information currently available to them, U.S. intelligence agencies say they won’t be able to definitively determine how COVID-19 originated.
The Associated Press reported that intelligence officials on Friday said they could not conclude “whether COVID-19 spread by animal-to-human transmission or leaked from a lab” while releasing a full review of their investigation into the origins.
“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 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,” the AP reported.
