US agency assessment backing Covid lab leak theory raises more questions than answers – and backlash from China

 The US Department of Energy’s assessment that Covid-19 most likely emerged due to a laboratory accident in China has reignited fierce debate and attention on the question of how the pandemic began.

But the “low confidence” determination, made in a newly updated classified report, has raised more questions than answers, as the department has publicly provided no new evidence to back the claim. It’s also generated fierce pushback from China.

  1. One wonders - here's a country that puts people in concentration camps or kills them and sells their organs for donation if it doesn't like their religion. It engages in campaigns to wipe out the history, language and culture from nations whose land it occupies. It threatens its neighbours with war if they don't accede to its territorial demands. It threatens world war because it has big plans to spread its dictatorship everywhere. It reminds one of a certain country in 1930's Europe. And yet, because Trump opposes them, you're going to run cover for them!
    It's like if Trump had been around in 1943 and announced that he'd just discovered that the Germans were murdering Jews en masse. Would you run posts questioning this and giving credence to German denials?
