A new U.S. government assessment that COVID-19 likely originated from a lab leak in China has ignited yet another round of political furor around the issue, adding to many Republicans' anger over how the pandemic was handled even as many scientists remain convinced the virus most likely originated naturally.Even though U.S.
The National Intelligence Council and four government agencies officials declined to identify still assess with "low confidence" that the virus came about through natural transmission from an infected animal, the WSJ reported.The same people who shamed us, canceled us, & wanted to put us in jail for saying covid came from the Wuhan Lab ... are starting to say what we said all along,""Being proven right doesn’t matter.
An HHS inspector general's audit in January found NIH didn't effectively monitor or take timely action to address problems with grants to EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit that directed some of the money to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study bat coronaviruses.requesting information for an investigation into COVID's origins.
Meekins added some public health officials' unwillingness to air out the lab leak hypothesis was a massive mistake that sets back public confidence in public health officials for a generation. "Real scientists want to get to the truth even if it is inconvenient," he told Axios.already scheduled for Tuesday to examine COVID policy decisions.
The news is that Republicans continue to look for a Covid scapegoat after a weak government report released. AXIOS, what is happening to you?
Why is this even being reported as news if they had little confidence it was true LOL......
'Low confidence', hello!
Then why did Trump and his administration coddle China after the outbreak? Why was Trump so protective of China?
From the WSJ article! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ So they are less confident in their findings than the FBI but MSM gives the GOP something to scream about. 🤦♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤬🤬🤬
Probably we will never know exactly how the virus got released, hell I don't think that we ever definitely discovered how the Spanish Flu ravaged the world. The problem is when people conflate accidental with purposeful meant to ratchet up hatred of China.
just because it may have been a leak, doesn't mean it was done intentionally.
Did the Republicans actually read the article?
This is a ridiculous headline. Feeds right into the crazies. WHY do you continue to do this
I thought they were pouncing.
just remember the story isn't about the news that makes dems look bad it's about the republican reaction to the story.
Suddenly deep state conspiracists and research doubters have high confidence in 'low-probability' assessments from federal bureaucrats.
Isn't the news that someone is right all along evidence that they were right all along?
Anything but talk about who blew up Nordstream?
While Axios leaves out the words 'low-confidence assessment.'
Low confidence means that it more than likely was NOT a lab leak. It’s all in the wording
Anyone can guess a correct answer when given a multiple choice test. It's getting it right through analysis and science that makes the difference.
The issue is we were told the lab leak theory was racist and discussion of the theory was shut down. Even if it didn’t come from a lab what corrupt media, like Axios, did was evil.
Yawn
That isn't what the assemenet says at all.
They were not, right all along.
I thought whatever the media puts out is fake news? So you believe the news now?
How dare you assume how my viewpoint. I do not seize, I pounce.
GOP get their votes based on their voters fears. CRT, books, abortion, LGBTQ. Things that affect a small part of population. They cry about illegals, drugs etc but do nothing. Certain ones always on FOX yammer shit
Wait. We are seizing today? I was getting all ready to pounce. Someone needs to keep everyone informed.
NoahCRothman Republicans seize!
Here I am defending China which tried to cover up the piles of the dead outside Wuhan hospitals. The local Lab was studying bats from the local market. Local Market Wuhan Lab leak.
The origin story of COVID19 does not change the facts about failures in the response. Antivax, antimask sentiments stoked by Gop for political gain leaves us more vulnerable to the next Pandemic.
The report says DOE has ‘low confidence’ in the lab leak theory and yet your headline (and most other media headlines) says ‘its likely’ . Explain the difference and why this headline?
Low confidence so far. More study is needed.
