- jpfromlondon 1y ago1. Nobody suggested we exclude inconvenient intelligence organisations. 2. Irrelevent because: 3. Low confidence, but probable merely implies plausibility, at least a somewhat higher likelihood than a wild previously unencountered zoonotic. Based on all publicly available information it does seem more likely, the CIA will be better informed than the public, if they (and others) concur then I don't see why we need to dismiss it.
