The Dept of Energy also said that…but then they qualified it by saying they arrived at their conclusion with “low confidence”:
“Wray’s statement corroborates
the Energy Department’s conclusion that the first outbreak of Covid “likely” stemmed from a lab leak. The Energy Department reached this assessment with “low confidence,” though it has prompted
new deliberations about the credibility of the lab leak theory and the safety concerns surrounding Chinese laboratories.”
At this point I don’t know what to make of this. They are stating that it was “likely” a lab leak but they have “low confidence” in this conclusion. WTF does that even mean?
