WASHINGTON: SARS-COV-2, a virus that caused Covid-19, “not developed” as a biological weapon, the US intelligence community has concluded in a report, with President Joe Biden reiterated that China continued to reject the appeal.
Transparency and hold information about the origin of the virus.
The Director of National Intelligence in a report, prepared in the direction of the President, on Friday said SARS-COV-2 may appear and infected humans through the initial small scale exposure that occurred no later than November 2019 with the first cluster known to the Covid-19 case that arises in Wuhan , China in December 2019.
However, there was no round sound among the intelligence community (IC) at the origin of Coronavirus.
“The virus was not developed as a biological weapon.
Most institutions also judge with low confidence that SARS-COV-2 may not be genetically engineered; However, two agents believe that there is no sufficient evidence to make an assessment,” said the report version that does not classified.
IC also considered that Chinese officials had no knowledge of the virus before the initial outbreak of Covid-19 appeared, he said.
“After examining all available intelligence reporting and other information, though, the IC remains divided into the origin of Covid-19 is most likely.
All agents consider that two reasonable hypotheses: natural exposure to infected animals and incidents related to the laboratory,” said the report .
Four elements of the IC and the National Intelligence Board assessed with low confidence that the initial SARS-COV-2 infection is likely to be caused by natural exposure to infected animals or viruses that may be more than 99 per year.
Sen similar to SARS-COV-2.
These analysts give weight to the lack of knowledge of Chinese officials, many vectors for natural exposure, and other factors, the report said.
One element of IC assesses with moderate confidence that the first human infection with SARS-COV-2 is likely to be the result of the incident associated with the laboratory, it might involve experiments, animal handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
These analysts give weight to the nature of work which is inherently at risk at the Koronavirus, he said.
“Analysts on three IC elements still cannot be united around explanations without additional information, with some analysts that support natural origin, others come from laboratories, and some see hypotheses together.
Variations in the analytic display are mostly from the difference in how Institutions that weigh on intelligence reporting and scientific publications, and intelligence and scientific gap, “said the report.
Meanwhile, acknowledging the receipt of the report, Biden in a statement said his government would carry out everything that could be done to track the root of this outbreak which has caused so much pain and death throughout the world, so they can take all the precautions needed to prevent it from preventing it from happening again.
Important information about the origin of this pandemic is in China, “but from the beginning, government officials in China have worked to prevent international investigators and members of the global public health community to access them”, he said.
To this day, China continues to reject the call for transparency and resist information, even when the victims of this pandemic continue to increase, Biden is suspected.
According to Johns Hopkins University data, the deadly virus has so far infected 215,290,716 people and claims 4,483,136 live globally.
The US was a hit with a total of 38,682,072 infections and 636,565 deaths were recorded so far.
“The world deserves answers, and I will not rest until we get it.
The responsible nations do not sting this type of responsibility to the whole world.
Pandemics do not respect the international border, and we all must better understand how Covid-19 comes to prevent Further pandemics, “said Biden.
America will continue to work with the same-minded partners around the world to suppress China to share information completely and to work with the phase of the World Health Organization Phase II, the determination led by experts into the origins of Covid-19 – including providing access to All relevant data and evidence, he said.
Biden said the US would also continue to pressure China to adhere to scientific norms and standards, including sharing information and data from the earliest days of pandemic, protocols related to bio security, and information from animal populations.
“We must have full and transparent accounting from this global tragedy.
Not less acceptable,” he said.
