COVID-19 Origins: The Need for Evidence Over Assumptions
While the CIA’s shift in assessment is noteworthy, I believe it’s important to approach this topic with caution and a commitment to evidence-based conclusions.
The 'low confidence' label underscores that there is no definitive proof, and key gaps remain in understanding the origins of COVID-19.
It’s worth noting that studies, like those finding SARS-CoV-2 in Spain’s sewage months before the pandemic was declared, suggest the virus may have been circulating undetected for some time.
This raises questions about potential overlooked intermediates or earlier outbreaks in regions beyond Wuhan.
Jumping to conclusions, particularly regarding the lab leak theory or other speculative ideas, risks conflating evidence with assumptions.
More retrospective analysis of global samples and collaboration among international researchers is essential to uncovering the truth.
Until then, it’s prudent to leave the origins as 'unknown' and continue investigating without biases.
This issue is too critical to be clouded by politics or unverified theories.
