According to media reports, the German foreign intelligence service BND in Corona Pandemic was most likely that the coronavirus was created in a laboratory in China. But the Chancellery under Angela Merkel would have stopped the assessment at that time …
The Federal Intelligence Service (BND) finds it probably that a laboratory accident in Wuhan in Chinese was the cause of the global Corona Pandemic. According to information from “Süddeutscher Zeitung” and “Zeit”, the German foreign intelligence service came to this assessment in 2020.
In addition to an analysis of public data, the basis was mainly equipment that was obtained as part of an intelligence processing with the codename “Saaremaa”, as the media reported. According to reports, these include scientific data from Chinese research institutions – including the “Wuhan Institute of Virology”.
Labor thesis with 80 to 95 percent probability
It is considered one of the leading Chinese virus research institutions – research was also conducted there. In addition to references to risky experiments in which viruses took place in nature, the material “Saaremaa” must also demonstrate numerous violations of the regulations for laboratory safety.
According to the BND reports, the laboratory thesis was assessed with a chance of 80 to 95 percent. The second thesis that the virus, such as that of the Sars epidemic from 2002/2003, had a natural origin, was therefore considered less likely.
Under closure?
However, the Chancellery in Berlin decided to keep the explosive assessment under closure, writes the “SZ”. At the time of the media, the then Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) did not want to comment on the media if she was aware of the process. Immediately after the change of the Government of Merkel in Olaf Scholz (SPD), BND boss Bruno Kahl inquired the chancellery again. The parliamentary control committee of the Bundestag, which was responsible for the control of the intelligence services, was not taught, nor was the World Health Organization (WHO).
The federal government is quiet to report
At the end of last year, the federal government decided to instruct external experts to revise the BND knowledge. Since last December on behalf of the Chancellery, high-ranking external scientists have investigated the validity of the BND knowledge. There is still no end result.
China denies laboratory version
Since the outbreak of Pandemie at the end of 2019 in the Chinese city of Wuhan, there have been discussions about whether the virus comes out of a laboratory or was transferred to people on a market. The Chinese government fiercely disputes the laboratory version. The background of the debate is that in China in laboratories on so-called sars-like coronaviruses.
In January, the American secret service CIA announced that he suspected that the Corona virus will come from a laboratory. The American authority had previously stated for years that it could not say whether the Corona virus came from a laboratory incident or natural origin.
The answer to the issue of the origin of the virus is considered very political. In recent years, hundreds of million people worldwide have become bad and millions have died. The pandemic also led to a dramatic economic malaise worldwide and social tensions.
