Just one day after the U.S. surpassed China to become the country with the highest number of Covid-19 cases, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency updated its assessment of the origin of the novel coronavirus to reflect that it may have been accidentally released from an infectious diseases lab, Newsweek has learned.
The report, dated March 27 and corroborated by two U.S. officials, reveals that U.S. intelligence revised its January assessment in which it "judged that the outbreak probably occurred naturally" to now include the possibility that the new coronavirus emerged "accidentally" due to "unsafe laboratory practices" in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, where the pathogen was first observed late last year. The classified report, titled "China: Origins of COVID-19 Outbreak Remain Unknown," ruled out that the disease was genetically engineered or released intentionally as a biological weapon.
"We have no credible evidence to indicate SARS-CoV-2 was released intentionally or was created as a biological weapon," the report found. "It is very unlikely that researchers or the Chinese government would intentionally release such a dangerous virus, especially within China, without possessing a known and effective vaccine." Every scientist interviewed by Newsweek for this story also rejected categorically the notion that the virus was intentionally released.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded the bat-coronavirus research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China with $3.7 million in U.S. tax dollars, the Asia Times reported on Wednesday.
In the face of a moratorium in the US, Dr Anthony Fauci – the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and currently the leading doctor in the US Coronavirus Task Force – outsourced in 2015 the GOF research to China’s Wuhan lab and licensed the lab to continue receiving US government funding.

The Controversial Experiments and Wuhan Lab Suspected of Starting the Coronavirus Pandemic
It is really hard to tell what to trust these days. Almost to the point of saying F-it, I just won't believe anything.
I like to go by my gut, reason and past experiences, in that order. Most here do also, just maybe not in that order.
Simple facts are the level 4 bio lab is close to the wet market. The virus came from a horseshoe bat. Horseshoe bats do not live near Wuhan. There were horseshoe bats at the Wuhan lab.
And if you dig deeper there are many more things that tie the Wuhan lab to the WuFlu. It looks like what many said at the beginning of this cluster, is turning out to be true.

who was it that said, "We'll know we've done our job when everything the public believes is false."?

Interesting. What's really cool is that the credible sources uncovered by alternative news outlets got the jump on this story 3 weeks ago. They did such a good job that even the Leftist MSM outlets are at a loss to derail the story. Waited for them to debunk the story but they were so outplayed, they couldn't do it.

Is this the same U.S. Intelligence that told the world there where WMD in Iraq?

Thank the Queen that British Intelligence didn't fall for that one too.

For our Document of the Week, we are posting the 2002 National Intelligence Estimate, which was concluded less than five months before the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. The document’s serious errors in warning of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction programs that, in fact, did not exist

Yup.
Regarding the Corona Virus, not Iraqi WMD's.

Yeah, cause it's the same crew from 20 years ago.
