Biden orders intelligence report on COVID-19 origins
United States President Joe Biden announced on Wednesday that he has ordered a report from the US Intelligence Community in order to determine the origin of the coronavirus within 90 days of his order.
According to Biden, similar efforts so far have failed to produce a definitive conclusion, with intelligence officials currently divided on whether the virus originated from a laboratory accident or from human contact with an infected animal. “I have now asked the Intelligence Community to redouble their efforts to collect and analyze information that could bring us closer to a definitive conclusion, and to report back to me in 90 days,” the president said.
Earlier, it was reported that the Biden administration shut down a State Department inquiry ordered by the previous administration that sought to prove that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese lab.
