The Covid Pandemia was due to a laboratory leak, according to the US Department of Energy.
Was it a natural transmission of an animal to a human or product of a laboratory leak? The origin of the Covid-19 Pandemia, which has caused the death of at least seven million people worldwide, has divided scientists, experts, international commissions and governments.
In the US, where the virus ended with more than one million people, a new voice joins those who have concluded that it was a laboratory escape: the Department of Energy has changed its analysis of the origin of the pandemic In this sense, according to an update of a classified report of American intelligence.
The White House and several key legislators from the Congress have received the new version of the report, as reported on Sunday several of the main US media, in which the energy department ensures that the virus is most likely to spread from a escape from a escape from laboratory.
It is a conclusion that the FBI has already reached in 2021, but in which there is no unanimity within the US intelligence community so far, the National Intelligence Council and four other government agencies maintain the determination that Pandemia originated from a natural transmission through an infected animal. Two other agencies, including the CIA, remain undecided about it.
New data
The conclusion of the National Intelligence Council on Natural Transmission is “low trust”, as well as that of the Department of Energy on the Laboratory escape. The FBI’s about the latter is “moderate trust.”
The Department of Energy has changed its determination for the appearance of new intelligence in this regard, although the authorities did not give details about what it was. This agency manages a network of public laboratories in the US, some of which carry out advanced biological research.
The revised report to which the White House had access and the congressmen maintains that the virus began to circulate, as afternoon, in November 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The most defended theory has been that of natural transmission, with an eye on a market with abundance of living animals that could have infected humans.
A report by the World Health Organization of 2021 assured that it was “extremely unlikely” that the virus appeared by a laboratory accident. But half of the experts who signed that report had been appointed by the Chinese government itself, who opposes the laboratory theory and did everything possible to control their conclusions.
From the beginning of the pandemic there were theories that pointed to the Wuhan Virology Institute, a laboratory with advanced biological experiments, among others, with Coronavirus. One of the most cited evidence in that theory is that three laboratory researchers, who worked with Coronavirus, fell ill in November 2019 and required hospital care.
