bighairymike: Yep, when the issue is international skullduggery and biological warfare, the Energy Department is the go to authority.

Right.

I noticed you ignored that they have "low confidence" in their assessment.

According to the Energy Department low confidence means the information is, quote, "scant, questionable, fragmented or that solid analytical conclusions cannot be inferred from this information."

Meanwhile...

The scientific community is in direct conflict with this new report. There is strong consensus among scientists who study the origin of pandemics. They say there's a large amount of evidence supporting a natural origin. Specifically, the data point to the pandemic starting at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, with the virus jumping from a caged animal into people there.

Last year, there were two papers published in the journal Science which outline the evidence for this. They showed photographic evidence that in one stall of the market there were caged wild animals known to be highly susceptible to COVID and known to spew the virus into the air. Inside this particular stall, scientists found SARS-CoV-2 virus on several surfaces. The papers also show epidemiological evidence that probably thousands of people were infected at this market in December 2019 and how the pandemic literally radiated out from this market.

But sure, samesies.
