You thought Joe Biden had cognitive decline? Think twice; he suppressed intel officials' views that said COVID-19 was leaked from a lab in Wuhan

Members of the US intelligence community who suspected that COVID-19 might have originated from a lab leak in China were reportedly blocked from eventually sharing their views and research within the broader intelligence community in accordance to sources from the FBI and other government officials, reported Fox News.

According to Fox News, initially, US President Joe Biden administration favored the theory that the virus emerged organically in Wuhan and likely got transferred to humans from infected animals. However, at the same time, a smaller faction within the intelligence community believed a lab leak was more plausible.

A recent report revealed that officials from the FBI and the National Center for Medical Intelligence were prevented from presenting their findings, which eventually suggested that Chinese scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology were conducting dangerous ‘gain-of-function’ research, asserted Fox News. Jason Bannan who is a senior scientist at the FBI noted that his agency's assessment of a lab origin was not actually included in a briefing with US President Joe Biden.


The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) stated that their assessment incorporated input from across the intelligence community regarding both natural and artificial origins of COVID-19, noted Fox News.
