In case you don’t trust twitter 

 

The Energy Department has concluded that the Covid pandemic most likely arose from a lab leak, according to a classified intelligence report

You mean it just might not be a conspiracy theory when a novel virus containing a furin cleavage site in its genome, something previously never known to exist in nature, turns up in a city with a virology lab known to be working on engineering novel coronaviruses?

 

That's crazy talk!

Damn you science deniers!  And how a virus alleged to originate naturally in bats somehow developed the ability to infect humans more efficiently than bats without any previous contact with the human genome.  Just plain old coincidence.  One thing the report doesn't say is why they all lied about it for over 3 years when it was the obvious source.  They know the location of the lab, the type of research, and how it was funded.  Time for some confessions and jail time.

you all must have missed this part (from NBC news):  

WASHINGTON — The Energy Department concluded with "low confidence" that the Covid-19 pandemic "likely" originated from a laboratory leak in Wuhan, China, according to a classified report delivered to key lawmakers on the House and Senate Intelligence committees, two sources with direct knowledge told NBC News.

Key lawmakers on the intelligence committees were briefed last month by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence about the classified report, the sources said.

The news was first reported Sunday by The Wall Street Journal.

However, a source cautioned that the Energy Department's conclusion was not being viewed as hugely significant among the intelligence community because of interagency disagreements about Covid’s origins. 

 

hmmm, wonder why that was mentioned here.

My confidence is pretty high.  A virus outbreak occurs down the street from a bio lab performing gain of function research on the exact virus.    

 

When it comes to "classified" briefings how does the network knows what's in a classified report?  In this case those "two sources" should be arrested.

It’s important to know what that designation means in context.   The FBI is said to have moderate confidence in the lab leak theory.  I’ve read several articles that suggest the difficulty in truly assessing the root cause lies in the refusal of the Chinese government to cooperate with the investigators and allow full transparency into the origin of the virus.  Meanwhile, the US government has ties to the research done in China, Fauci downplayed the lab leak theory, the vampire bat theory goes mainstream and the politicization of the virus was off with a full-throated roar. 
 

What we can say is the evolution of the conversation reveals that those skeptical of believing The Narrative were on the right side of the ledger, and you trust “leadership” blindly at your own peril.  
 

For me, the rather obvious disinterest in certain quarters of really getting to the bottom of this whole thing is the biggest issue of all.

This "confusion" and "low confidence" just makes our "Intelligence Agencies" and Leftist believers look all the more moronic every day to our enemies and anybody with a semblance of a brain

and if it is confirmed that there was a Chinese lab leak, what is to be done about it?  war with China?

Sure, Red, that’s the only answer…an apocalyptic war with China…so no further conversation/discussion should take place.   🤔

then that would be big and should be punished and ensured never to happen again

Now do the confidence of the other agencies… don’t forget the FBI, who concluded the same as DOE

Then do the confidence that it came from an animal from a wet market, an animal that has yet not been found to exist.  But hey, that's got to the answer.

But fauchi and the usual voices already said we were not funding gain of function research in labs outside our country after the obama law to make it illigal to do gain of function inside this country.
