Low confidence? The category of 80-95% is enough for confirmation at intelligence standards. Stop protecting the CCP.

I was specifically referring to US agencies here, see:

> CIA now joins DOE and FBI in assessing the more likely cause of the first human COVID-19 infection was a research-related incident.

> CIA has low confidence in this judgment

> Given CIA's low confidence, credible new intelligence reporting or open-source information could prompt CIA to change its assessment.

> Four agencies and the National Intelligence Council (NIC) continue to assess that natural contact with an animal infected with SARS-CoV-2—or a closely related progenitor virus—was the most likely cause of the first human COVID-19 infection.

It's interesting that the BND has higher confidence in its assessment but not sufficient to support your statement that the lab leak hypothesis has "been confirmed by agencies around the world"
