Such research can cause changes in the way the virus causes disease, the ability to spread and the hosts that it can be infected. According to newsletters, there are signs that Chinese researchers violated the safety regulations at the laboratory.
The above conclusion has undergone the evaluation process by a group of BND analysts, headed by a virus expert. This group crossed out data with public studies and documents obtained from other countries and concluded “with certainty from 80 to 95%” that Covid-19 “is likely to originate from a Chinese laboratory”.
The result was submitted to former German Prime Minister Angela Merkel, but the German government at that time was skeptical. German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz is also said to not see the conclusion of the Board of Directors who are convincing enough and initially decided to keep it closed because of concerns may occur errors and political consequences.
