What is the difference between a conspiracy theory and a "likely" intelligence assessment? From the Wall Street Journal: Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 Pandemic, Energy Department Now Says: U.S. agency’s revised assessment is based on new intelligence. It seems the difference is only a matter of time.
As usual the WSJ is behind a paywall, so let's try an alternative. Mediaite brings us the following: JUST IN: U.S. Dept. of Energy Reportedly Concludes Covid Most Likely Came From a Lab Leak
According to the Wall Street Journal, the new finding was released in a classified report provided to the White House and key members of Congress. The Energy Department cited new intelligence as its reason for changing its conclusion.
The Department of Energy now joins the FBI, which has also held that Covid was the result of a lab leak. Four other government agencies and a national security panel dispute that assessment, believing that the outbreak began due to natural transmission. Two other agencies, including the CIA, remain undecided.
I'm not sure why the Dept. of Energy is doing intelligence work around the subject of biolabs in China, but that is apparently the world we live in, where the whole government is spying on the whole world, or something.
