COVID-19 spread through animals or leaked from Wuhan lab? US intel fails to determine origins

Barring an unforeseen breakthrough, intelligence agencies won’t be able to conclude whether COVID-19 was spread by animal-to-human transmission or leaked from a lab, officials said Friday in releasing a fuller version of their review into the origins of the pandemic. The paper issued by the Director of National Intelligence elaborates on findings released in August of a 90-day review ordered by President Joe Biden. That review said that US intelligence agencies were divided on the origins of the virus but that analysts do not believe the virus was developed as a bioweapon and that most agencies believe the virus was not genetically engineered.
