President Joe Biden has ordered US intelligence to input more into studying the origins of COVID-19. The US President added that China will be pressed into participating in a full investigation of the pandemic’s unsure origin. Despite having received an alleged up-to-date analysis of the origins of COVID-19, he asked US intelligence to redouble efforts and come to a definitive conclusion as to how the transmission occurred.
The virus was first detected in Wuhan, China in late 2019. Ever since then, it took the world by storm and killing 3.5 million people and infecting around 168 million. Biden’s administration is putting pressure on China to be transparent about the outbreak. Biden’s request also involved asking the intelligence to investigate the unlikely possibility of COVID-19 being traced back to Chinese laboratories, a concept which Biden has so far minimised its credibility as a fringe conspiracy theory.
