The CIA has assessed that the COVID-19 pandemic is “more likely” to have originated from a laboratory than from natural sources, though it maintains “low confidence” in this conclusion. Both lab and natural origins remain plausible. This assessment, prompted by former CIA Director William Burns, underscores the pandemic’s historical significance. Newly appointed CIA Director John Ratcliffe prioritised making the findings public, reiterating his belief in the lab-leak theory, particularly implicating the Wuhan Institute of Virology. China, while supporting origin research, accuses the US of politicising the issue and dismisses lab-leak claims as baseless. The debate over COVID-19’s origins continues.
