两点:下面附ODI声明
一是,赞同科学界的共识,病毒不是人造的或基因改造而来的。
他们作为一个情报机构,不应该做科学结论。所以,言下之意是,我们没有发现“人造的或基因改造而来的”的证据。
二是,将继续调查是否因为跟动物接触(属正常接触造成传染)或武汉实验室事故(属非正常事故造成传染)。
这表明作为一个情报机构未来调查的方向。
这个声明有意义吗?不多。
如果有证据,第一个结论可以随时被推翻。
第二个结论,如果没有中国政府的协助,几乎是不可能的任务。
Intelligence Community Statement on Origins of COVID-19
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Office of the Director of National Intelligence today issued the following Intelligence Community (IC) statement:
“The entire Intelligence Community has been consistently providing critical support to U.S. policymakers and those responding to the COVID-19 virus, which originated in China. The Intelligence Community also concurs with the wide scientific consensus that the COVID-19 virus was not manmade or genetically modified.
“As we do in all crises, the Community’s experts respond by surging resources and producing critical intelligence on issues vital to U.S. national security. The IC will continue to rigorously examine emerging information and intelligence to determine whether the outbreak began through contact with infected animals or if it was the result of an accident at a laboratory in Wuhan.”
