I have this from three solid and separate federal sources. The U.S. absolutely is investigating the Chinese claims about the origin of covid-19. My sources say they are absolutely 100% convinced it did not begin in the wet market.
My sources say a number of members in Congress, in BOTH parties, learned in December about a dangerous virus that originated in China..."but nobody understood how massively quick it spread". The investigation believes this virus got out possibly as early as September.
I am told the three theories were 1.Someone planted it near the labs in Wuhan purposely. 2. It was accidentally released but a worker who got infected by mishandling an animal or bat that had been studied. 3. It was purposely released. As of this moment the strong belief is #2.
There's no evidence at this point that it was done on purpose. They also believe it's a naturally occurring virus, not created. But during study "things could have been done to alter that accidentally, or by just being scientists." U.S. authorities are on the case.
