The CCP virus was not manmade or genetically modified, U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the head of the U.S. intelligence community (IC), said the community “concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified.”
The office did not say how it came to the conclusion.
“The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan,” the office said in the April 30 statement.
The CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus originated in China last year before spreading around the world, infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands.
The area where it emerged is near the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a high-level laboratory where scientists were studying how coronaviruses leap from animals to humans.
Coronaviruses are a group of viruses that circulate among animals that can, in rare cases, jump from animals to humans before starting to spread from person to person.
Yuan Zhiming, director of the National Biosafety Laboratory at the lab, told Reuters in a statement that the lab didn’t have the capacity to design a new coronavirus and that no information within the CCP virus genome indicates it was manmade. He also said the lab didn’t accidentally release a virus it harvested from bats for research.

not genetically modified.
are they truly that stupid.
a girl scout could compare the ACE-2 regions with
pangolin and then read the patents.
but these morons cannot?
no wonder they protect Democrats and LIED
completely about the false Russian-Trump connection.
??
The half-life of me buying this is best measured in nanoseconds.
Not man made.
That would be demon made. From China (how about those fire breathing dragons).
That pretty much clinches it for me.
It’s engineered.
There is no way for me to use any information from this source.
All I can do is sh*tcan it.
Today, I learned something new; that "Yuan Zhiming" is Mandarin for "Baghdad Bob."
Bat enough if it was inadvertently released from a Chicom lab, the game that China played afterwards is the issue.
What matters is that it was being studied at the Wuhan lab, known to be human to human transmissible, and escaped due to bad practices, and then LIED ABOUT by the CCP.
where’s the pic of the girl saying “OK Then”?
Not even a hint. Very convincing LOL!
All they had to do was find a bat virus that could infect simians in a novel way, there was no need for engineering.
Why would anyone believe the same intelligence community that was involved in trying to run a coup against our President?
and they think we are that stupid..... What would happen it they came out and told the public that it was a weaponized modified virus and was released on an attack on the world.
“Hey Lieutenant does the road to Ambleve still lead to Malmedy?”
*** Would you buy a used car from ANY of these people? ***
As some ancient astronaut theorists believe?
The CCP hasn’t let anyone inside the Wuhan Institute of Virology so how can the IC be so confident? This is like determining the cause of an accident without going to the crash scene.
Not so sure that the intelligence community is proficient in tracking a virus
