Polarization

There has been a highly polarized public debate in the US over the origins of SARS-CoV-2 almost since the first human cases were reported in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019. China.

That debate was rekindled last month when the Wall Street Journal reported that the Energy Department had concluded that the pandemic was likely started by a virus leak from a lab, which Beijing vehemently denies. However, in a confidential report, the ministry writes that it is not entirely sure of the correctness of its conclusion. Four more US agencies still believe that Covid-19 was likely the result of natural transmission of the virus, while two have not yet decided.

Biden administration officials say the origin of the pandemic may never be known. China says claims it was caused by a lab leak are not credible.

Democratic Rep. Jim Hymes called the bill “an important first step.” “Hopefully this clears up some of the guesswork, some of the rumors that are going around,” he commented.
