Biden Signs Bill to Declassify Covid-Origins Intel

President Biden signed a bill on Monday that authorizes the federal government to declassify all available intelligence pertaining to the origins of Covid.

“My Administration will continue to review all classified information relating to COVID-19’s origins, including potential links to the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” Biden said in a statement.

“In implementing this legislation, my administration will declassify and share as much of that information as possible, consistent with my constitutional authority to protect against the disclosure of information that would harm national security,” Biden said.

The legislation, which received bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress, directs the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to declassify information  concerning China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Nearly three years after dismissing it as a conspiracy, some legacy media outlets have now embraced the hypothesis that the virus escaped from a laboratory in Wuhan. The consensus explanation at the outset of the pandemic was that the virus was not engineered but rather naturally occurring and jumped from animals to humans.
