US President Joe Biden on Wednesday ordered US intelligence officials to redouble their efforts to research the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, including any possibility the trail might lead to a Chinese laboratory. Biden asked US intelligence agencies to report back within 90 days. He directed US national laboratories to assist with the investigation and the intelligence community to arrange a list of specific queries for the Chinese government. He referred to as on China to cooperate with international probes into the origins of the pandemic.

Republicans, together with Former President Donald Trump, have promoted the theory that the virus emerged from a laboratory accident rather than naturally through human contact with an infected animal in Wuhan, China.
Biden during a statement said the majority of the intelligence community had ‘coalesced’ around those two scenarios but “do not believe there is sufficient information to assess one to be more likely than the other.” He disclosed that two agencies lean toward the animal link and “one leans more toward” the lab theory, “each with moderate confidence.” he added.
