Two days after a similar hypothesis was issued by the American Ministry of Energy, the track of a bad manipulation within a laboratory in Wuhan, China, is relaunched by the FBI to explain the ‘Origin of the Pandemic of COVID-19 emerged in March 2020.

The US internal intelligence director Christopher Wray said on Tuesday, February 28, that “the FBI has been considering for some time that the origin of the pandemic is most likely [linked to] a laboratory incident in Wuhan “ in an interview with Fox News .

This commentary comes a few days after new intelligence elements had changed the analysis of the Ministry of Energy on the side of the leakage hypothesis, according to anonymous sources cited by wall street journal , New York Times and CNN.

“Low level of confidence”

The newspapers, however, insist that this new analysis is published “with a low level of confidence” by the ministry, which oversees biology laboratories. The world of American intelligence is now even more divided, some believing that the covid occurred by natural transmission.

In this interview, Christopher Wray also accused China of trying to block the investigation carried out by the United States on the causes of the pandemic that arose in early 2020, killing for almost seven million people and jostling the world walk for months.

“The Chinese government (…) has done its best to try to thwart and confuse the job we do, the work that our American government and our loved ones” are doing the director of the director FBI. “And it’s unfortunate for everyone.” Beijing vigorously disputes these statements.

For the scientific community, it is crucial to determine the origin of the Pandemic of COVID-19, in order to better prevent and fight a next epidemic wave. In mid-February, the boss of the World Health Organization (WHO) undertook to do everything to obtain “an answer” on the origins of the COVVI-19, firmly denying information that the organization has given up his investigation. For the moment, many tracks would still be explored.
