💨 Abstract

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has reportedly assessed that the COVID-19 pandemic is more likely to have emerged from a lab than from nature. The assessment, made in the final weeks of the Biden administration, was based on a determination requested by former CIA Director William Burns, who emphasized the pandemic's historical significance. The CIA has "low confidence" in this assessment, acknowledging that both lab origin and natural origin scenarios remain plausible.
