The Office of the DIRECTOR of National Intelligence ( ODNI) has published declassified intelligence community findings on the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 CORONAVIRUS.
Most of the country's intelligence agencies believe that the virus was not developed as a biological weapon and "probably was not created through genetic engineering." However, two departments believe that "there was not enough data for such an assessment," the document says.
According to the intelligence community, the Chinese authorities did not know about the existence of SARS-CoV-2 until the outbreak of the coronavirus infection in Wuhan.
The authors of the report could not come to an unambiguous conclusion about the origin of the coronavirus. Two versions are considered the main ones: the natural transmission of the virus from an animal to a person, or a “laboratory-related incident”.
