The coronavirus “most likely originated in a facility controlled by the Chinese government,” according to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The coronavirus “most likely originated in a facility controlled by the Chinese government,” according to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The US ambassador to China had encouraged the nation to be more “honest” about the “origins” of the virus the day before the FBI director spoke.

“The FBI has been looking into this topic for a while, and it looks like the corona epidemic began from a lab mishap,” Christopher Wray told Fox News.

In Tuesday’s interview, he said that “China is trying its best to hinder the efforts to pinpoint the source of the worldwide pandemic and offer a confused picture about it.

This is the first time the FBI has revealed the cause of the Corona pandemic in the media.

However, a lot of experts think that there isn’t any concrete proof that the coronavirus originated in a lab.

Even US government institutions disagree on the coronavirus’s place of origin.

Even while scientists haven’t reached a definitive conclusion, several of these groups have inferred that the coronavirus didn’t originate in a lab but rather from animals and spread to people.

The White House said that there is a dispute among the US administration over the coronavirus’s origin.

The “lab genesis of corona” idea was deemed “impossible” in 2021 following a collaborative examination by China and the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization’s investigation, though, received harsh criticism. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the organization’s director-general, subsequently demanded a further probe, claiming that “all possibilities are valid and more research is required.”

Meanwhile, Beijing accused Washington of “political manipulation” in reaction to the FBI chief’s statements.

Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, declared that the results made by the group lacked credibility.

However, research has revealed that the coronavirus was transferred from animals to people in Wuhan, China’s seafood and wildlife markets.

In addition to this, the coronavirus has been studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This laboratory is located 40 minutes from Wuhan Market.
