A new classified intelligence report by the U.S. Dept. of Energy finds with 'low confidence' that COVID-19 may have, in fact, originated from a lab leak in China ... this according to the Wall Street Journal.
The DoE's classified intelligence report concludes COVID likely slipped out into the public via a"mishap" at a lab in China -- unclear which one though, or under which exact circumstances -- and that they've reached this new determination with fresh intel. However, the report also notes their confidence is"low" in terms of being absolutely sure here.
Here's the thing ... the FBI arrived at a similar assessment in '21 on the origin of the virus -- through their own investigation -- but not every government agency agrees. In fact, there are 4 other agencies, as well as a national intelligence panel, that still feel it may have emerged through natural transmission ... but their confidence in that is also"low," according to WSJ. In other words, no one really knows -- but everyone has a good guess.
In fact, some claimed they were being outright censored on social media for spreading this type of theory ... which was being written off at the time as misinformation, and some even went so far as to say it was racist and xenophobic in nature to even suggest the lab leak.
