Construction is under way for the maximum-security Brazilian facility, which will face cost and regulatory hurdles.

    Is the Biden administration lead by conspiracy theorists as well?

    Again, inclusive and circumstantial, but pretty far removed from crackpot conspiracy theories and tinfoil hats.

    Direct quote from that NYT article I linked:

    In addition to the Energy Department, the F.B.I. has also concluded, with moderate confidence, that the virus first emerged accidentally from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a Chinese lab that worked on coronaviruses.

      Other direct quote:

      Some officials briefed on the intelligence said that it was relatively weak and that the Energy Department’s conclusion was made with “low confidence”

      An article from a well-respected journal: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(24)00206-4/fulltext.

      It really seems like the evidence points towards natural origins. And the article you linked doesn’t actually have the evidence, it only waves toward the existence of classified intelligence.
