“All agencies assess that [the] two hypotheses are plausible.”
This is in stark contrast to the certitudes peddled by Andersen, Lipkin, Holmes and co in Lancet, Nature and their continual social media ranting.
Going further, the report does not rule out the possibility that COVID-19 was genetically engineered:
One intelligence agency (IC) assesses with moderate confidence that the first human infection with SARS-CoV-2 most likely was the result of a laboratory-associated incident, probably involving experimentation, animal handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
These scientists, who (as we now know) actually had their own doubts, spent a year and a half gaslighting everybody they could talk to, in perfect tandem with Chinese obfuscation and lies.
I can expect China to cover up and hide data. That's their standard practice.
But I do not expect many Western scientists and scientific journals to be effectively complicit in that charade - shame on them all who took part into this deception. unherd.com/2021/06/beijin…
If politics is too serious a matter to be left in the hands of politicians (De Gaulle), then clearly the DARPA PREEMPT, PREDICT and other initiatives of the same ilk are too important to be left in the hands of Fauci, Daszak, Lipkin and co.
"..those facts, among others, have only emerged due to the efforts of independent scientists, some of them doing research in a group they call DRASTIC"
The intel results are not much different from the assessment which I wrote for #DRASTIC with @RdeMaistre a year ago.
An interesting Politico article by Michael Callahan, former biosafety physician for the U.S. State Department’s Bio-Industry Initiative in the former Soviet Union and Bio-Engagement Program in Asia. politico.com/news/magazine/…
One key section:
Which basically links bak to Jasper Baker's recent book:

The small sample of 23 or so staff and students in her lab is largely irrelevant. There are many teams working at the WIV - in all 590 staff and students.
WHO, Berlin float sanctions if countries suppress information on pandemics
Spahn and Tedros made their comments at the inauguration of a new virus-monitoring center in Berlin, dubbed the WHO Hub for Pandemic and Epidemic Intelligence. politico.eu/article/who-be…
An initial $100 million investment by the German government is funding the hub, which will be led by Chikwe Ihekweazu, currently director general of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.
For now, the hub will operate out of the Charité Berlin medical and research facility.
That sounds great.. But wait, who is the Head of Administrative Office for Global Health and Director Institute of Virology, at the Charite Berlin?
‘Undeclared Interests’ could have been the title of the book.
“The most important takeaway is that this book demonstrates the real danger is from arrogant and reckless globalized biological science which may have let loose the whirlwind… For their work to continue and their prestige to grow, they must capture public resources”
Sources said the Defense Intelligence Agency is the one agency that firmly believes in the lab leak theory. According to one source, the DIA’s confidence is based on work with a little-known institute under its control called the National Center for Medical Intelligence,
which was renamed in 2009 from the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center.
The center’s mission is to gather and analyze all sources of worldwide health threats, including foreign medical capabilities, infectious disease and health risks of national military importance.
