President Biden on Tuesday received a classified report from the intelligence community that was inconclusive about the origins of the novel coronavirus, including whether the pathogen jumped from an animal to a human as part of a natural process, or escaped from a lab in central China, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Where did COVID come from? Biden receives intelligence on origins
It's been 90 days since President Biden ordered a systematic review into the origins of COVID-19

The results: Reports suggest the classified intelligence record sent to President Biden failed to conclusively determine if the outbreak spilled over from animals or was an accidental lab leak. However, parts of the probe could be declassified in the coming days after members of Congress are briefed on the outcome. "We may never know the true origin of COVID-19," said Jon Andrus, a professor of global health at George Washington University. "A retrospective analysis is like using the scientific method with one hand tied behind your back."
This seems to be a typical lackluster investigative report that (purposely) fails to reach any conclusion. CYA. Is the report "classified" as a means of obfuscation?
Nevertheless, the articles above fail to examine the potential that the Covid pandemic could be fundamentally attributed to Dr. Fauci (patient 0). Evidently, Dr. Fauci either directly or indirectly authorized "gain of function" research through NIH which, through a third-party grant, funded Covid research at the Wuhan lab. Only focusing on the actual "escape" of the virus into the human population does not really address the question concerning the origins of Covid. Moreover, there is the question of whether "gain of function" research should be prohibited as being too risky,

Fauci admits ‘modest’ NIH funding of Wuhan lab but denies ‘gain of function’
The country’s top infectious disease expert has long pushed back on the notion the US funded research that made coronaviruses more lethal or transmissible.
