American edition, referring to intelligence reports, that the US Department of Energy came to the conclusion about the artificial origin of the coronavirus, intending to blame China for its leak. version is not new, she was already raised by the Americans, but in 2021 no one supported the FBI in the USA. Now the Ministry of Energy has also come to the same conclusion., but with “low confidence”. stated, that the cause of the leak was allegedly an accident in a Chinese laboratory.
The Department of Energy's conclusion is the result of new intelligence and is significant, because this agency has significant scientific expertise and oversees the U.S. National Laboratories Network, some of which conduct advanced biological research- the newspaper explains.
