Of the 9 us intel agencies asked:
- 4 refused to say what they believed likely, because they couldn’t decide between a lab leak and natural origins;
- 4 weakly assessed a natural origin, but didn’t rule out a lab leak;
- 1 moderately assessed a lab leak, but didn’t rule out natural origin.
This report was before a number of studies that led to more support for the lab leak — eg, the patented gene being the only genetic difference between SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13.
You don’t have to believe it, but surely you can’t say that there’s zero evidence supporting a lab leak.
