A new classified intelligence report by the U.S. Dept. of Energy finds with 'low confidence' that COVID-19 may have, in fact, originated from a lab leak in China ... this according to the Wall Street Journal.

The DoE's classified intelligence report concludes COVID likely slipped out into the public via a"mishap" at a lab in China -- unclear which one though, or under which exact circumstances -- and that they've reached this new determination with fresh intel. However, the report also notes their confidence is"low" in terms of being absolutely sure here.

Here's the thing ... the FBI arrived at a similar assessment in '21 on the origin of the virus -- through their own investigation -- but not every government agency agrees. In fact, there are 4 other agencies, as well as a national intelligence panel, that still feel it may have emerged through natural transmission ... but their confidence in that is also"low," according to WSJ. In other words, no one really knows -- but everyone has a good guess.

In fact, some claimed they were being outright censored on social media for spreading this type of theory ... which was being written off at the time as misinformation, and some even went so far as to say it was racist and xenophobic in nature to even suggest the lab leak.

lol, we've known this for 3 years and you called us 'far right conspiracy theorists'

There is no doubt it started from the Wuhan lab…but Joe Biden doesn’t care

It did and China knows it

Duh

No shit.

Another 'conspiracy theory' that's come true.

I believe in a movie about a warrior goddess prepared to battle mythical horrors and her eyes are white and she will cut through limbs and heads with sword and shield

Stop the nonsense we all know covid 19 was leaked from a lab in China

Remember when your clown site and all other liberal sites said this was a conspiracy theory when it was said 3yrs ago? 🤡

And thus begins the Culture war between lab or not lab. Why would anyone believe a government agency, no matter what it claimed? All credibility is lost.

“Low confidence”! Stick to your celebrity, gossip, and other worthless news items

So China killed millions of people and everything is ok though. F that!

It would be 'High Confidence' if they had some actual evidence..

Like Trump was telling us and we called him racist because of it.

That was the first conspiracy theory, it’s also funded by fauci

'low confidence'

Next you’re gonna tell me Biden has dementia

The department of energy doesn’t deal with TS/SCI reports. If they did, they’d probably find “with high confidence” that it originated from a blatant release of a biological weapon via Wuhan. The media in the USA is laughable at best.

It doesn't matter. It was created in the US and we sold it to them.

Da

I don’t think anyone is surprised.

Everyone except Biden supporters have known this for 3 yrs now

Duh

No really? I thought we were all conspiracy lunitics?

We have known this for years lmao

We already knew this. All viruses are born in China.

Classified information = Conspiracy Theories. Put it together people, or just stay stupid

Wth, the whole world know this already. Even Chinese people do 😂

What do they believe with high confidence?

If a statement was a 🤷🏼‍♂️emoji. The fuck does an energy department do and how does it pertain to viruses or health?

Lab leak was their false flag. It was a coordinated attack orchestrated by Putin🥛

To think you would’ve been banned and ostracized the last few years for this and now you were proven correct. The democrats and their liberal minions in media are the enemy of the state.

This was like watching a morbidly obese person collapsing on the jogging track and being told their weight had nothing to do with it. Only people with truly hardcore toe-the-party-line-brains accepted the zero connection story.

So where it came from?

We know this

Of course it did…

But when Orange man said this everyone attacked him and said he was a racist towards Chinese people! 🤦🏻‍♂️

You have to come up with new conspiracy theories now, as they are all coming true! See I told you so!

We knew this 3 years ago but were called conspiracy theorists...surprise surprise, it's now accepted as true. We also knew that the jabs didn't work & were injuring/killing some people...again, this is just starting to be admitted

With low confidence of facts, Spiderman exists

Low confidence my ass!

Old news zombies still pushing this crap its over

DEPT of Energy 😆🤷‍♂️

But Trump said that years ago and you guys said he racist. Smh

Old news...

We already know this

It's time for TMZ to do real reporting from both sides. Don't push one narrative. Be news.

Now do Vaccines….

Duh…

“Medium confidence”

No shit... we been known that's why we named it the China virus.. duhh

Low Confidence

Yeah, low confidence means they still don’t know where it originated from and it really doesn’t matter at this point.

No shit sherlock 🤣🤣🤣

Leak huh....

I thought we knew this in March of 2020

You don’t say. Let me put on my surprised face.

And Fauci…

Why would you release a statement with low confidence?

Wow! Why didn’t someone mention this earlier?

I still believe it’s from eating bats lol

So we were right AGAIN. LISTEN TO WOODY AND JIM this world being run by these weirdo politicians needs to stop. Reset and start over.

Imagine my surprise...

Wait til they come clean about vax deaths and why big pharma can’t be legally held accountable if they kill you.

No shit.

It was cause of a lab leak

This just in… Duh!!!!

Low confidence came from the people who read the report. Not the people who wrote the report.

They always have a gray area WTF is ‘low confidence’ is 45 writing the findings? 🤔

Like one of those, ROAR-shakes, the worst kind of milkshake, they don't commit to ingredients, ONLY!!!, sort of, just want to see you drink it while they smile?

but you said woody harrelson was just spewing covid conspiracy....

New info? We all knew long ago. covidscam

So the “racist conspiracy theorists” were right again…the Covid cultists are going to lose their minds and still not realize they have been lied to for years

Amazing how over the past 2 years, Donald Trump has been proven right about everything.

RepMTG very surprising ..smh!!!

😂 you guys are such hypocrites over at tmz calling woody harrelson a conspiracy theorist earlier today and now you’re posting this article

Pc Trump

Um ya wasn't it a whole lab in Wuhan ?

So trump was right ? TMZ time to start apologizing to Trump.

Trump was right

Real Americans already knew this…Dems, big tech and leftist media should be hammered for silencing millions of Americans on this topic. Another conspiracy theory proven FACT.

It did old news

No shit Sherlock, most knew from day 1 but you called us conspiracy theorist. Did y'all ever find Trumps pee tape? 💯🔥 conspiracy theorist

Wow. What’s it like to be back in late 2020?

Disinformation!!!

No shit

What do we pay these ppl for? To verify something 3 years later that we all alrdy knew? This is wild that this is where billions of dollars go. . . They misuse our money so much and nobody cares. I'm so over it.

Here we go again

Wow TMZ… Talk about being late to the game.

CHI-NA! Because it came from China!

Misinformation

Duh

Probably likely. A lot of countries store viruses to test them out against medicine including the US. Imagine knowing that you are responsible for the worst case scenario on a virus leak. I’d probably leave the country and change my name.

When TMZ admits a leftist talking point was a bust and all the conspiracy theorists were right…you know it’s a big deal

Ooohhh Lord !!! They just finding that out lol 😂 most of us none Woke ppl being knowing that and we ain’t even journalist 😂🤦🏽‍♂️😂🤦🏽‍♂️…

this was NO MISHAP imo, but you do you.
