Nearly five years after the COVID-19 scandal emerged, a declassified CIA report has reignited the debate<\/a> over the origins of SARS-CoV-2. The report, released under the Biden administration but declassified by former President Donald Trump, concludes that a laboratory origin is \u201cmost likely\u201d for the virus. However, the real bombshell lies in what the report omits: evidence of nearly identical virus research conducted by the Pentagon in 2017<\/a>. This revelation, coupled with a groundbreaking German study, suggests a coordinated effort to conceal the role of U.S. and Western agencies in the development of SARS-CoV-2, while shifting blame to China. The findings raise urgent questions about bioweapon research, global accountability, and the ethical implications of genetic engineering of viruses to unleash mRNA vaccine and testing programs.<\/p>\n

CIA Report confirms a laboratory origin for COVID-19, strategic planning<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The CIA\u2019s assessment, released in January 2025, marks a significant shift in the narrative surrounding the origins of COVID-19. The agency stated with \u201clow confidence\u201d that the virus likely originated from a laboratory, joining the FBI and the Department of Energy in this conclusion. However, the report stops short of assigning responsibility, instead focusing on China\u2019s alleged lack of transparency.<\/p>\n

John Ratcliffe, former CIA director, has long supported the lab leak theory, telling a congressional committee in April 2023 that it is the \u201conly\u201d explanation for the pandemic. Yet, the CIA\u2019s findings are not based on new evidence but rather on existing intelligence, raising questions about the timing and motivations behind the report\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

The report\u2019s release coincides with a German study that identifies a 2017 Pentagon-funded experiment involving a chimeric MERS virus with a furin cleavage site identical to that of SARS-CoV-2. This discovery, published in BMC Genomic Data, provides a \u201csmoking gun\u201d linking U.S. research to the pandemic virus.<\/p>\n

The German study, led by computational biologist Andreas Martin Lisewski, reveals that a 2017 experiment involving a mouse-adapted MERS virus (MERS-MA30) produced a furin cleavage site nearly identical to that of SARS-CoV-2. This site, a molecular \u201cscissor\u201d that allows the virus to enter human cells, is a key factor in the virus\u2019s lethality and transmissibility.<\/p>\n

Key findings from the study include:<\/strong><\/p>\n
