The war of words between China and the USA took a turn for the worst, when the neo-con loaded Biden Administration tasked the CIA with the verification of the origins of the Covid virus by insinuating it could have escaped from a Chinese laboratory where it had been modified. This is not a question of science but of politics. Its not about whether or not this is a laboratory caused pandemic, but of demonising China one way or the other. That is what the CIA does, it is both a spying agency and an agent-provocateur, one which tends to find causes celebre to justify war.
