I mean, here is the official National Intelligence Council report that was released Oct 2021: https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/docum...19-Origins.pdf

Disclosure, I've only read the "key take-aways" in the past, but it gives enough information to summarize the findings. The views are split 4 vs 4 among "Intelligence Community Elements."

4 of them say ("with low confidence") that it was a natural mutation that originated in China.

1 says it was likely ("with moderate confidence") that it was a laboratory incident originating at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

3 elements "remain unable to coalesce around either explanation without additional information, with some analysts favoring natural origin, others a laboratory origin, and some seeing the hypotheses as equally likely."

If the intelligence community as a whole is split (or uncertain) on this issue... I feel pretty confident in my logic-based belief after seeing the evidence continue to trickle out.

Unfortunately, as stated before, I don't believe China would EVER let the proof of a laboratory incident/accident/etc see the light of day. And I also fully believe that it has already been destroyed. So an accurate conclusion of what happened will likely never be realized.
I read the whole article twice and many others. I respect your choice of the explanation for the origination of COVID. As you say you are pretty confident. However, since no one actually knows how COVID came to be, it is an opinion however the basis used for determination. In a debate I would feel as comfortable defending your position as much as the others.

While the documents Judicial Watch listed are not their creation, because of the bias, I question if they posted a one sided view, if they left out information that didn't support the conclusion they wanted. We have no way of knowing if that is the case or not. I don't trust any information that is political biased.
