Surely a government would never lie to us and have an alternate agenda. Iraq totally had WMDs.
- And don't forget the baby killing thing.
has concluded that it’s likely the Covid-19 virus was leaked from a Chinese lab before it became a global pandemic but added that the agency had “low confidence” in its judgment.
Hmmmm
“CIA continues to assess that both research-related and natural origin scenarios of the COVID-19 pandemic remain plausible.”
Big nothingburger.

Why do they care where it came from?
- Because they're racists and they want to be able to blame Asian people.
I'm not sure why people are so quickly disregarding this theory. The Biden administration viewed that both the lab leak and the natural origins were legitimate. He had the US intelligence agencies looking into the origin.

Low confidence could just mean there is not much evidence available because the PRC has gone to great lengths to control information regarding the origin.

And just like that….
