The report you referred to stated the virus that was genetically manipulated (man-made) likely collected in a cave. Then you state "came from an animal...harvested from an animal in a distant cave". So which is it? Man-made or came from an animal? And there has never been positive proof that the virus spread via a lab leak. Most infectious disease researchers agree that the most probable scenario is that the virus evolved naturally and spread to a person through an intermediate animal.I am NOT changing anything that I have said ... the report .. by The House Foreign Affairs Committee .. stated that the virus ... or the viral sequence that was genetically manipulated ... was accidentally released or escaped from the WIV. THAT is what the report states .. was NOT definitive if it had been genetically modified .. but the WIV WAS THE SOURCE OF THE COVID virus (genetically modified or not) .. that was released in Wuhan and initiated the pandemic.
