Department of Energy concluded Covid came from China lab leak



According to two sources with direct knowledge, key lawmakers on the House and Senate Intelligence Committees were briefed by top intelligence officials on the classified report, which cited new information leading the Energy Department to back the theory with “low confidence.” A U.S. official confirmed a report from the Wall Street Journal saying it was a lab “mishap” and stressed there’s still consensus this was not a Chinese bioweapon.

  1. Duuuh that’s why china sent the ballon to see what we know we really almost at a war china been real hot lately

  2. They finally concluded what many had been silenced and ostracized for stating over a year ago. Just stupid. No labs anywhere should be messing w this stuff i.e. gain of function.

  3. Department of Energy??
    No Levine and the Department of health and welfare??
    No NIH ???
    No CDC????
    Energy….. what did I miss

  4. trump said it was a lab leak but everyone just shot it down immediately

  5. What next?

    Not like we can punish China

  6. USA owes China trillions. Welp… they're negligence caused a bunch of U.S. citizens to die so they should forget getting that money anytime soon… besides I heard a theory that China purposely leaked the virus to get rid of some of it's citizens for over populating the country. 🤷

  7. I'm pretty sure that real journalists have already stated this previously this is old hat

  8. Who would've known… 😩

  9. Bye bye lying Fauci.

  10. God Bless USA UK and Germany… 👍

  11. What they’re not telling you is that the Covid “Leak” was a method to control overpopulation; especially in China.

  12. China no bueno…. that's all we need to know.

  13. Since when does the DoE do the CDC's job of identifying the source of an outbreak?

  14. Wait so it wasn’t medical misinformation!??!😂😂😂😂

  15. J E S U S C H R I S T.

  16. If this was a “leak” just imagine the damage if this was “intentionally released”.

  17. Really! Didn't we already know that…..tell us something we do not know. LOL

  18. Department of Energy ? WTF ?

  19. we will never know the truth about covid because there's alot covered up to

  20. The Chinese purposely genetically modified the sars at the behest of NIH.

  21. Trump been telling everyone that.
    Trump 2024

  22. Tomorrow: the Bureau of investigation has concluded the Chinese spy balloons were sending info to China.

  23. I think it's time to hold our government officials accountable for acts of treason

  24. Just like you told us hunter's laptop was not real

  25. Just like it wasn't a spy balloon, right? Covid wasn't intentional either… Yup, I believe you-NOT!

  26. Whom ever said it was natural is a Chinese spy

  27. Lol trump was saying this all this time

  28. So this is what the dept of energy has been up to. Investigating the origins of a virus. Stupid me, I thought their job was supposed to be regulating energy.

  29. Is it just an American distraction because it was China who told Putin to stop the war?

  30. The government and the media are a joke!

  31. Why would this come from the Dept of Energy though rather than some dept related to health ir even the CIA?

  32. America turned their backs on medical advice, protested about masks, drank sanitizer and use Title 42 to blame Mexicans.

    China locked down cities and have worn masks since the bird flu in the 90s. China's strict measures led to China's low death rate.

    Covid deaths = USA 1,144,745 Mexico 332,938 UK 206,246 Canada 51,061 Australia 19,373 China 5,272 New Zealand 3,864.

    Did Covid come from Fort Detrick in the US or Wuhan in China? Do you follow the country with Earth's worst pandemic mismanagement?

  33. Why is the US government and NBC news pushing baseless conspiracy theories?

  34. It came from US biolabs in Ukriane

  35. What dose the DOE say who blew up the Nord stream ?

  36. Trump told us it came from China we already knew this.
