The actual news: WSJ irresponsibly promoted a questionable guess. rupertmurdoch & his WSJ should be shamed.

But they did conclude it came from a lab! So you lied to everyone called people racist for reporting what you just 'investigate'!since we are using quotes to fool the liberals now! 😉😆😆😆😆

Low confidence in the lying news media.

Surprise!

Fauci funneled US dollars into the Wuhan lab gain of function thru a Biden associate eco life health Peter Dasak. Follow the money and trial numbers it's very obvious. The government,WHO and media lied thru their teeth for 2 years killing millions and mentally damaging children.

Funny how everything people beensaying years ago is nowtrue

“Low Confidence “ new buzzword. She must have said it 5 times.

Why come to a conclusion at all if it can only be reached with low confidence? Where's the line between that and 'inconclusive?'

It's time for MSNBC to be dissolved!

What an oddly worded headline. Seriously who wrote that?

Who can believe anything this government says? 😬🤡

So, MSNBC is guilty of Covid misinformation for 3 years straight, but was never banned from any social media platforms.🤔

Low confidence in MSNBC, why did they appear in my feed? Perma-block

What the hell does the Department Of Energy have to do with viral infections & immunology? And how’s it worth reporting if they’re “concluding with low confidence”?

WHY DID DEPT OF ENERGY INVESTIGATE ON A HEALTHCARE MATTER.?

Of course they f'ing did. Every single person on earth has known this since early January 2020.

A reporter asked about the project, suggesting $3.7 million had gone to the Wuhan lab. “We will end that grant very quickly,” Trump said. “It was granted quite awhile ago,” he added, referencing the Obama administration. “Who was president then, I wonder?”

Now we’re told there’s a third big lie perpetrated by the WOKE media besides the Russia collusion and the Hunter laptop Russia disinformation. The Wuhan lab leak of Covid which the WOKE media dishonestly tried to play down and call those who believed racists and other epithets.

MSNBC is run by China

I care about DOE's opinions on virology as much as I care about NIH's opinions on military tactics.

New We've known this for years.

WOW those crazy Right Conspiracy Theorists were right Again?

What? The conspiracy theorists were right all along?

Literally everyone with a brain knows it was a lab leak. They also know the administration is afraid to admit it.

The WHO said it was a natural virus that appeared in a market in China

Portugal yang di tindas itu negara Portugal bukan Indonesia Coba buka rekaman perobekan bendera negara Portugal oleh Indonesia di perusahaan oleh orang orang Semar dan Adrianto belum punya pasangan semalam itu saya tidak bilang apa apa.

Why are you spreading conspiracy theories?

is 'low confidence of being likely' is another way to say 'likely not' ?

MSNBC is the American version of Russian Pravda

Most of us with a brain, as far back as March of 2020, have had “High” confidence along with a “certainty “ in the probability COVID originated as a direct result of Fauci’s illegal funding of gain-of-function by proxy and a lab leak.

More evidence Covid was tinkered with in a lab? Now scientists find virus contains tiny chunk of DNA that matches sequence patented by Moderna THREE YEARS before pandemic began

The Department of Energy is a conspiracy theorist that is producing misinformation that is a danger to our democracy Obviously a bat

This declaration is meaninglessness. Its purpose is to stir anti-Chinese hatred.

In the beginning Fauci was told that the virus looked to be manufactured in a LAB.FAUCi knew it had been already.Americas role in it was to see if the government could impose Mandates and control over their lives .All know what americans were told to do MANY complied many didn't

Trump was right...a

So Trump was right all along.

Paid for by the DNC after being forced to shoot a Chinese spy balloon down.

More lies.

No shit Sherlock!

MSNBC loves being on the wrong side of facts. Feeds their irrational viewers what they won't.

Damm Chinese!!!

It sounds plausible.

Duh

In a book titled “The Eyes of Darkness” published 1987, actually says what MSNBC is now reporting that it allegedly originated from a lab! In the book it names a particular lab out of China. Allegedly, is it true, that Bill Gates has a registered patent on Covid, Covid 19 & 20?

You people are pathetic

It seems that Donald Trump was absolutely correct early on when he explain to America that the virus was leaked from the Chinese lab. He even indicated that a scientist working on the enhanced virus was the first infected and may be the initial spreader. Donald was right again!

LOW CONFIDENCE It says LOW CONFIDENCE

Did you forget the FBI said it came from Wuhan too?

Oh really. Nice to see you all catching up.

The Kung Flu like Bird Flu came from China via consumption of distressed caged animals by humans. Chinese will eat anything the moves.

Why conclude if it’s with “ low confidence “?

Dr fauci used our tax money to fund the Wuhan lab that leaked the virus out.

We knew this when it first came out.

No the low confidence is from fake news like the laptop is Russian or riots are peaceful.

Ha and they called people conspiracy theorist.

Another conspiracy theory has come true. Need to start calling them spoiler alerts!

Low key confidence or evidence?

I know you're supposed to downplay the report, but using 'low confidence' and 'likely' to refer to the same thing in a single sentence just shows how desperate you are to defend the CCP. Also, it's poor english.

Shocking. I am shocked.

So what they are saying is that they have high confidence that they don’t know how Covid originated? That’s helpful.

Terribly written headline just to pull in more reads. Disgraceful journalism.

Low confidence!!!

We had people on the ground at that lab keeping an eye on things. Trump called them home.

Ahahahaha 😂👌🏻

Low confidence?

Key phrase, “low confidence”

What expertise does the Department of Energy have in COVID?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Just like MOST Americans have been saying for the last 3 years!!

First it was no-way, never. Now low confidence. We know Fauci and his criminal crew were in on this.

Low confidence. 😆

It absolutely came from there and everyone knows it

Should read “high confidence” and not by “accident”

DoE? Covid is under the Department of Energy?

So why does the report itself say one IC concluded with MEDIUM CONFIDENCE the likelihood of the first transmission to humans came from a lab-related incident?

We’re still doing that?

Remember when you called the Orange man and everyone a racist, xenophobic, and a conspiracy theorist? Me too “Spoiler Alert” is a new term for conspiracy theorist

Oh please say it isn’t so? First it was Russia collusion that was proven to be a lie and now Fauci lied too? 🤥🤥🤥

Department Of Energy ? WTF

I remember when it was a conspiracy theory 😂

The low confidence is that it was a leak and not intentional

We always knew this!

I believe that XI JInping got mad enough at Trump with his insults and sanctions and especially the one he put on China in response their interference in Hong Kong' autonomy that Jinping ordered the virus in response.

This new evidence uncovered two years ago lead to this conclusion.

New intelligence Fox News been reporting that over a year ago get with it.

It is WAY MORE LIKELY that covid originated from a street vendor selling bats for food a block over from the top secret covid medical laboratory experimenting with different covid variants.

WOW REALLY. THAT IS WHY WE CALL IT THE CHINESE WUHAN VIRUS & NOT COVID. WE KNEW THIS 3 YEARS AGO BUT YOU WOKE PATHETIC FASCIST WOULD NOT DARE SPEAK THE TRUTH WE ALL KNEW. CHINA IS OUR ENEMY. WEATHER ON PURPISE OR ACCIDENT MILLIONS DIED AND THEY TRIED TO DENY DIVERT OR HIDE FACTS.

WE KNEW ALL ALONG AND SO DID FAUCI

It only took MSNBC 4 years to accept facts instead of just parroting the Democrat propaganda they are paid to spread.

😂 that’s racist! 😂

I believe with low confidence that I have the power of invisibility. And you can’t see me, can you? Proof positive!

Thought we knew that?

Nothing like a play on words !!!

Let’s see which Republican went to visit that lab and released the virus! Maybe Marsha or maybe Ivanka when she went to check on her make up line she was trying to make in China!

The Democrats have been lying to us all along, they even believed it.

Interesting that many people have no idea that the Dept of Energy goes way beyond nuclear and battery research. DOE NVBL was created just for research on Covid, vaccines, etc.

Department of Energy?

Oh look, another conspiracy come true! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Department of Energy… why is this a story?

Low confidence.

So CHINA virus as realDonaldTrump said many years ago and you called conspiracy for years

Saying with low confidence, means they hate posting truth.

Us on the right already knew this.

Another conspiracy theory proven true. SHOCKER

Welcome to the news….”3 years late, edition”

MSNBC a little late to the party😂

wow, who knew? did anyone suspect this when it first happened?

Democrats are such pathetic and silly creatures

WTF does DOE have to do with it?

Low confidence = don’t really know.

no shit

So, “low confidence” will be interpreted by an impressionable public as, “high confidence.”

In other words, they have no idea

Whether you believe the Dept. of Energy or not ... She's lying ... That's not what it said in the document.

How much sense is it when you write ‘low’, ‘but likely’ in the same article? 🤣

Dept of Energy 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not a surprise the US finally issues this on the heels of China working with Russia in the war

“Low confidence”? “Likely”? Sounds like shaky reporting.

The more technology the human race develops the more stupid we get with it.

We’ve been knowing for years the virus came from CHINA.

Republicans only. And even they say 'low confidence' meaning 'most likely not true'. Yet they peddle it as news! I believe it came from a lab alright, a Russian lab. The Chinese lab does not have the ability, Russia does. Russia has a bio-labs stockpile on ice.

Except the report says there is no definitive answer

Another “conspiracy theory” that liberal media tried to suppress turns out to be true.

Low Confidence does NOT mean likely, rather more akin to meaning Less likely.

OK. if it's 'low confidence', how come everyone is jumping at this?

😂because we trust the Biden government?! 👍🏼

Of course it came from a lab! You were one of the ones responsible for disparaging and silencing people who were pointing out this obvious fact from the onset. This is another in a long series of examples as to why you have zero credibility as a news outlet.

Someone should have told you “low confidence” in analytical parlance means this likely did not happen. Your lede ends with a claim they said it started in a Chinese lab when the first part of the sentence says they assess the lab leak story to be BS.

Like we didn’t know that. But Traitor Troll Trump didn’t do anything to stop it from spreading. He downplayed it as a flu and believed it would just go away. But millions of Americans died instead

It’s new intelligence, it’s been known the media just chose to ignore it

My first question is … the Energy Dept.?

The Energy Department’s conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant because the agency has considerable scientific expertise and oversees a network of U.S. national laboratories, some of which conduct advanced biological research.”

We know China was the origin, now admit Fauci payed them!

1. This is slightly more confident than 'maybe just a little bit'. 2. What difference does it make? 3. The racist paranoid Republicans will still pretend it's a Chinese bioweapon, while also saying it's 'just a flu' or a fake pandemic to avoid wearing masks.

That’s not what it says. Low confidence by natural exposure to infected animal, medium confidence of lab leak.

Science proves Covid came from a lab.

Have we checked in with the US Postal Service or the Social Security Administration? I mean, if we're gonna report on the findings of agencies with no expertise in epidemiology, why not include them all? Personally I'd like to get the FCC to weigh in on this.

Your journalism is really amateur when you mention “likely”and “low confidence”as to the origins of COVID.

It's always been a lab leak. The real conspiracy theory was the fish market fantasy. It's OK. Nobody takes MSNBC seriously now anyway.

We ‘conspiracy theorists’ have been telling you this for years.

I love how everyone on this thread is calling the DOE liars for saying what most people already knew. You mad you believed MSNBC a year ago?.

Hilarious. Triggered your entire base

why does it matter?

'Low confidence' and 'likely' don't play together well. This is trying to have it both ways in one sentence.

Department of Energy where they study math and physics and never ever life science, medicine or contageous diseases?

Trying to cover your tracks again?! Looks like Fauci led you down the rose colored path.

I thought you would go to jail if you suggested that the Covid came from a lab?!

Who tf in their right minds didn't know this.Chinese govt alllowed this leak to happen..destroying the economy.shutting down the world.killing millions of ppl worldwide..ppl lost jobs livelihood..homes apts..FCKING CRIMINAL.they ned 2 be sanctioned..made to repair Americans

This is not scientific information. This. Is politics. Which politicians were on the committee that Produced this “low confidence” report?

Faucci is responsible for the funding! No wonder democrats opposed this theory and banned anyone who uttered it.

Department of Energy?

What does that even mean?

The one tied to Fauci,who they put in charge after he created it…. ? insanity

Dept. of Energy and low confidence do not a final conclusion make. And yet some have just been lying in wait to call this definitive! 🙄

Seems ludicrous to me that you would perpetuate this “story”. Department of Energy? Investigating the origins of COVID? Brought to you by Murdocks Wall St. Journal? Ridiculous on its face.

Exclusive: U.S. slashed CDC staff inside China prior to coronavirus outbreak. maybe this is why ?

Does this mean msnbc is going to be banned from twitter now?

Almost everyone knows about this incident, but we just make up stories all day long... Aren't your media blushing? I feel ashamed.

You mean the new intelligence they had over two yrs ago. Kind of like the Hunter laptop? Sounds about right.

The Great Deception continues.

Democrats were wrong again lol. And so was CNN

It must be fairly clear evidence if it is enough for the department of energy, who have no connection to health and immunology whatsoever, even thought they have nearly drowned their proclamation in disclaimers.

Don't be ashamed, the whole world knows that we Americans did it, and how many of our biological laboratories are densely distributed all over the world. If China had such influence, we would have stopped confronting it long ago.

'new intelligence' my hairy ass. There's no such thing, they just took 3 years to reach the same conclusion as everyone in the world with a functioning brain.

By using vague and misleading language, you only seek to create more confusion and uncertainty in the minds of the people.

Just a media spin on low confidence... we know it came from a lab

WHY is the Department of ENERGY investigating a virus? Could we use Covid as a renewable energy source?

Why is the Department of Energy concluding that? Surely it's a job for the Department of Health.

'Low confidence' in that assessment, tho. It just so happened to get 'leaked' right during a US / China spat. That falls under 'Propaganda 101'. 🤔👍
