The Energy Department's assessment came with 'low confidence,' per the WSJ.

Monday, February 27, 2023 3:14PMThe Energy Department's assessment of COVID-19's origin as a likely lab leak was reported Sunday by The Wall Street Journal.While no firm conclusion has yet been made among health and government officials as to where COVID-19 came from, the U.S.

But with no "smoking gun" and limited access to raw data, discussion of the science has played out in a haze of circumstantial evidence. "Some elements of the intelligence community have reached conclusions on one side, some on the other. A number of them have said they just don't have enough information to be sure," Sullivan said. "Here's what I can tell you. PresidentBiden has directed, repeatedly, every element of our intelligence community to put effort and resources behind getting to the bottom of this question.

Four elements of the U.S. intelligence community said in 2021 that they had "low confidence" COVID-19 was initially spread from an animal to a human, while one element assessed with "moderate confidence" that the first human infection was the result of a "laboratory-associated incident, probably involving experimentation, animal handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology," and pointing to the "inherently risky nature of work on Coronaviruses.

"Origins tracing is a matter of science," Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said following the report's release. "China always supports and will continue to participate in the science-based origins study."
