The nuanced finding suggests the agency believes the totality of evidence makes a lab origin more likely than a natural origin. But the agency’s assessment assigns a low degree of confidence to this conclusion, suggesting the evidence is deficient, inconclusive or contradictory.

    Yes but now all the screetching heads can screetch it was all made by China and funded by George Soros and all Fauci’s fault and all the horrible talking points because there is a “source” that “proves” it was a man-made leak.

      This really doesn’t change much though, the DOE put out the same low confidence theory 2 years ago. The fact that the intelligence agency hasn’t reached a better confidence level two years after the energy department said the same thing, that’s more like a massive strike against the theory than anything that supports it.

        The main reason they don’t have the evidence is because China won’t cooperate. We may never know.
