After the United States Department of Energy received new confidential information about
the origins of the disease
that unleashed the pandemic in 2020, the North American authorities once again raised the possibility that
Covid-19 has spread after the virus leaked from a laboratory in China.
This
was reported this Sunday by The Wall Street Journal,
which accessed the investigation carried out in this regard, which concluded in the aforementioned hypothesis that had been postulated at the beginning of the outbreak of cases worldwide.
According to the New York-based newspaper, the new conclusion is the result of reading
new intelligence data
.
And, according to the report, it's significant given that Energy is the government department that oversees
a network of 17 US national laboratories
, some of which carry out advanced biological research.
However, the theory of the accidental release of the virus
had already been raised by the FBI in 2021
, which maintained at that time that the coronavirus was the result of an
accident in the Wuhan laboratory
, in China.
Interestingly, at that time,
the Department of Energy had questioned this claim
since it did not have sufficient evidence.
Now, after receiving more data on the development of the virus, the position of the authorities that make up the area changed, according to international agencies based on the report from the American newspaper.
The new position was communicated through a "classified intelligence report
recently provided to the White House and
key members of the (US)
Congress
" to which the aforementioned US newspaper had access.
According to intelligence sources explained to the aforementioned US newspaper, this is because they found "new intelligence information, investigative studies and consultations with
non-governmental
experts ."
The United States does not deny or confirm
When approached about it, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan
refused to confirm or deny
the veracity of the information published by The Wall Street Journal.
In addition, in an interview this Sunday on CNN, Sullivan limited himself to highlighting that United States intelligence has
not yet reached a definitive answer
about the origin of covid-19.
He also stressed that while some state agencies believe the virus originated in a laboratory, others say they don't have enough information to make a conclusion.
Finally, he added that if more data is obtained about its origins,
the administration will report it to Congress and the public
.
"But at this time, no definitive answer has emerged from the intelligence community on this question," he said.

The aforementioned conclusions arise from the
investigation requested by Joe Biden
who, in the midst of a health crisis, ordered intelligence agencies to find the origins of the pandemic, after criticism of a WHO report.
The World Health Organization's
March 2021
report had said it was
"extremely unlikely
" that the virus would emerge accidentally from a laboratory.
Nonetheless,
China named half of the scientists who wrote the report
and exercised significant control over it.
For this reason, the United States decided to open its own investigation in this regard.
