I know some people will say this has nothing to do with the labs, however DOE, LLNL and LANL did a lot of high profile work on Covid and even it so origins. Now DOE is is saying the lab leak is the most likely scenario.

Lab Leak Most Likely Origin of Covid-19 Pandemic, Energy Department Now Says
U.S. agency’s revised assessment is based on new intelligence
So this would just make relations between China and the US even worse. It is amazing how in 2004 we went from Nanos, members of congress and even people at the labs saying how the labs are irrelevant and nuclear weapons will play no role in the future of the world. Now in 2023 we closer to nuclear war than most of the times in the cold war. Of course some weird blog naysayer will say this is irrelevant to the labs. I am not sure if these people are just miss-informed, really bitter, or some kind of foreign trolls.

There is no consensus at the White House either. Why even make info public?

Somebody leaked the classified report. No stopping the national news then. Plus "low confidence" in intel space is usually ignored.
FBI chief Christopher Wray says China lab leak most likely.
Mr Wray's comments come a day after the US ambassador to China called for the country to "be more honest" about Covid's origins.
People have been convicted by a jury of their peers with less.
This is from the energy department. Sure that could be good for how to look at power grids but what do these energy guys know about epidemics. It is completely outside of their lane. Why would anyone take something serious on biology from energy people?

Maybe because they've been in the field of research for a long time?
The DOE national labs all have intel organizations that work with and interact daily with the rest of the US intel community. In case you didn't know (on a LLNL blog??), DOE does nuclear weapons too, including intel on other countries' nuclear weapons.
You have not been paying attention to the news, Stephen Colbert called out the DOE or not staying their lane. Do keep up
Stephen Colbert tells Department of Energy 'stay in your lane' after lab leak report
Late-night host Stephen Colbert ridiculed new intelligence from the Department of Energy leading them to believe a lab leak was the most likely reason for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Your reply did not refute 3/02/2023 7:13 PM. As usual, Colbert has no idea what he's talking about.

Excuse me but the last time I checked Colbert is considered a expert on the news and is certainly more intelligent than any Fox viewers. Like millions of Americans I trust Colbert. It simply makes sense the department of energy does energy why would it do anything else? I am not going to trust some rando of a LLNL Blog. I listen to experts and Colbert is media expert.
