Biden demanded declassification of intelligence data on the origin of COVID

US President Joe Biden has signed a law that requires the administration to declassify some intelligence about the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 CORONAVIRUS, the White House press service reports.

Biden recalled that in 2021 he instructed the US intelligence community to "use all the tools at its disposal" to investigate the emergence of the virus, and now this work continues. “We need to understand the origins of covid-19 to help prevent future pandemics,” he said.

One of the initiators of the Coronavirus Origins Act was Missouri Republican Senator Josh Hawley, reports The Hill. The document requires National Intelligence to disclose any data "concerning potential links between the Wuhan Institute of Virology and the origin of covid."

This version was supported by the FBI, four more intelligence agencies - the natural theory of the origin of the virus, the other two were undecided.
