US President Joe Biden has passed a law to release secret documents about the origins of the corona pandemic. It is also about “possible connections to the Institute of Virology in (the Chinese city of) Wuhan,” Biden said Monday. His government will “release as much information as possible”. However, care must be taken not to harm national security.
“We need to get to the bottom of the origins of Covid-19 to ensure we can better prevent future pandemics,” Biden said. “My government will continue to review all classified information related to the origin of Covid-19, including possible links to the Institute of Virology in Wuhan.”
The corona virus first appeared in the Chinese metropolis in 2019. While many experts see animal-to-human transmission at an animal market in Wuhan as the cause of the pandemic, there is also the theory of a laboratory accident in the city.
The FBI is investigating Labor Breakdown
In February, several US media reported that the US Department of Energy, which is responsible for overseeing laboratories, now assumes that the coronavirus has escaped from a Chinese laboratory. The United States Federal Police FBI is of the same opinion.
However, the US authorities, including the various secret services, do not agree on their assessments. Some authorities think it is more likely that the virus was transmitted naturally from animals to humans. The question is also controversial in science.
China outraged by laboratory theory
The subject is also politically charged. China regularly and furiously refuses information about a possible laboratory accident. The virus has killed an estimated seven million people worldwide. The pandemic and the measures taken to contain it have had serious economic and social consequences.
