The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) has released a declassified report stating that there is no direct evidence that COVID-19 originated from a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan.
The report suggests that both natural and laboratory origins remain plausible and notes that most US intelligence agencies agree that the virus was not genetically engineered or "laboratory-adapted." The report states that the virus' origins are still a matter of debate and that US intelligence agencies cannot rule out the possibility of a laboratory leak.
The report also notes that the WIV and Chinese army collaborated on coronavirus research, but that there is no evidence of intentional changes that could have caused the COVID-19 pandemic.
