The United States returns to the attack. After the report from the Department of Energy, it is the head of the FBI himself, Christopher Wray, who accuses China of the spread of Covid.
The virus, he said in an interview with Fox News, “most likely originated in a laboratory controlled by the Chinese government. The FBI has long assessed that the origins of the pandemic are a potential laboratory accident.
Wray's is the first public confirmation of the FBI's classified report on the origin of SarsCov2: "Beijing - accuses the FBI chief - has done its best to try to thwart and obfuscate efforts to identify the source of the pandemic" .
China, for its part, once again rejects the sender of the accusations: «Washington stop politicizing the issue, the team of experts in Wuhan branded China-WHO deems escape from the laboratory highly unlikely. The report is clear and has been widely recognized by the international and scientific community,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.
«China – he adds – is firmly against any form of political manipulation through the question of traceability. For an intelligence agency to engage in scientific matters is in itself politicizing the issue.
«Furthermore – attacks Mao Ning – given the deplorable record of the US intelligence services, their conclusions have no credibility. Washington respect science and facts.'
