Biden: Some US Intel Members Believe COVID-19 Came from Chinese ‘Laboratory Accident’

President Joe Biden on Wednesday said that the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) believes “two likely scenarios” caused the CCP virus outbreak in China, noting that a significant number of officials believe the virus escaped via a “laboratory accident.”

His White House-released statement comes in the midst of officials saying they do not believe the virus developed naturally—contradicting the official narrative of the Chinese Communist Party, which has said that the virus was spread via a wet market in Wuhan, Hebei Province, in late 2019. In recent days, a growing number of officials—including U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci, have suggested that the virus did not develop naturally.

“After I became President, in March, I had my National Security Advisor task the Intelligence Community to prepare a report on their most up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, including whether it emerged from human contact with an infected animal or from a laboratory accident,” Biden remarked, adding that he wants intelligence agents to “redouble” their efforts into finding the origins of the virus.

“As of today, the U.S. Intelligence Community has ‘coalesced around two likely scenarios’ but has not reached a definitive conclusion on this question,” the president said. “Here is their current position: ‘while two elements in the IC leans toward the former scenario and one leans more toward the latter—each with low or moderate confidence—the majority of elements do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.’”

Coronaviruses, a number of which cause respiratory illnesses in people, were mentioned as a class of viruses that could be readily weaponized. Indeed, the Chinese scientists were even more explicit, pointing out in their paper that the coronavirus that causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, was an ideal candidate for a bioweapon.

“No, actually,” Fauci responded. He continued, adding he was “not convinced” that the virus has natural origins:

“No. I’m not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened...”
