I'm largely sold in it, it always seemed plausible. Why would the FBI tweet it? To me that's the weirdest part of this
Exactly. Over the last 5 to 10 yrs the FBI has been involved in too many political-centric "episodes".
It's not the first time we've heard and/or considered a lab leak. But coming from the FBI? A domestic focused organization? There's likely some (nefarious?) motivation for it getting involved.

It feels kinda cyberpunk/dystopian, doesn't it.

WASHINGTON—FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday that the Covid pandemic was probably the result of a laboratory leak in China, providing the first public confirmation of the bureau’s classified judgment of how the virus that led to the deaths of nearly seven million people worldwide first emerged.
“The FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan,” Mr. Wray told Fox News. “Here you are talking about a potential leak from a Chinese government-controlled lab.”

What are they basing this belief on?
Oh, I hate to hear that.
