The house oversight committee investigated for 2 years and came to this conclusion. The CIA is falling in line with the rest of the government.

>The single most thorough review of the pandemic conducted to date

>The FIVE strongest arguments in favor of the “lab leak” theory include:

>The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.

>Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.

>Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research at inadequate biosafety levels.

>Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with a COVID-like virus in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.

>By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced.
