President Joe Biden said on May 26 that the U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) believes there are “two likely scenarios” that may have caused the CCP virus outbreak in China, noting that a significant number of officials believe the virus was spread due to a “laboratory accident.”
His statement, released by the White House, comes amid officials saying they don’t believe the virus developed naturally—contradicting the official narrative of the Chinese Communist Party, which has said the virus was spread through a wet market in Wuhan, Hubei Province, in late 2019. In recent days, a growing number of officials, including U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases chief Anthony Fauci, have suggested that the virus didn’t develop naturally.
