Does it really matter? Many laboratories around the world experiment with highly dangerous viruses and that one leaked. Not that I like it but it's still a fact.

Are we seriously back on this again?
But the once controversial theory has been gaining ground among some intelligence agencies
ie someone at the CIA who wont put their name to it, and a couple of corporate owned German newspapers who they fed it to
Only because the propaganda arms got defunded, but the CIA, the biggest one, didn't.
We’re supposed to trust spies working for nation-states that support Israel?
Although I think the support to Israel (which I am against too) does not play a role in the sake of this argument, I agree with you: it independent scientists couldn't find scientific evidences to support that, spies are for sure not reliable.
Okay, thank you for getting that. In retrospect, I can see how my comment might be perceived as potentially antisemitic but, I’m coming from an anti-imperialist perspective. And, the West is going to keep flooding us with anti-East and anti-Middle East propaganda.
So, to me, Germany’s support of Israel and their demonization of China is one and the same.
Not every news article and decision on the world revolves around Israel and/or Gaza.
My point is we shouldn’t be trusting spy agencies working on behalf of nation states at all, which includes pushing geopolitical narratives with the aim of Western supremacy.

It doesn't matter where it came from! It doesn't change the fact that the government and corporations left us die, then they picked over our carcasses.
God I hate propaganda.
edit: lol at the one cunt who read my comment and was like, "how dare! propaganda is everything. "
Oh look, fake news to make China look bad!
They keep "believing" that's what happened because they have not presented any concrete evidence that can be used to get rid of that qualifier.

Remember when hinting at this would get you banned from Youtube? Good times
You can't even say dead or killed or rape on youtube.
Yeah makes me not want to watch anything on there. Wife was watching some true crime and I was so confused on why they kept saying essay (SA) and grape.
Can you please censor ess*y in the future so that it'll be more difficult for me to filter automatically and actually make me way more likely to get triggered? Thanks.

Go back to sleep, this is just repeat cope for failing to handle a pandemic and shifting the blame to another country.
"Germany’s foreign intelligence" LOL
And who wouldn't trust the BBC mouthpiece?

What, we’re supposed to remove UK state-affiliated media articles about German state intelligence assessments?

The SARS-CoV-2 gain of function research was going on under Fauci’s watch.

- New Yorker, 2023: Mad Scientists - Nowhere is the lab-leak debate more personal than among the experts investigating the origins of COVID
- Consortium News, 2024: What the US Might Owe the World for Covid-19 - A U.S.-funded laboratory origin of Covid-19 would certainly constitute the most significant case of governmental gross negligence in history
Two German newspapers say they have uncovered details of an assessment carried out by spy agency BND in 2020 but never published.
But the once controversial theory has been gaining ground among some intelligence agencies - and the BND is the latest to entertain the theory.
