US: No evidence COVID created in Chinese lab

Jun 25, 2023

Washington [US], June 25: The head of US intelligence said Friday that there was no evidence that the COVID-19 virus was created in the Chinese government's Wuhan research lab. In a declassified report, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said they had no information backing recent claims that three scientists at the lab were some of the very first infected with COVID-19 and may have created the virus themselves. Drawing on intelligence collected by various member agencies of the US intelligence community (IC), the ODNI report said some scientists at the Wuhan lab had done genetic engineering of coronaviruses similar to COVID-19.
