Biden shift on COVID origins tracks dicey politics: The Note

President Joe Biden's course shift on the origins of the coronavirus is one of those developments that means both less and more than it might seem.

The TAKE with Rick Klein What if what looked and sounded and was mocked like a conspiracy theory was actually right? President Joe Biden's course shift on the origins of the coronavirus is one of those developments that means both less and more than it might seem. His call for U.S. intelligence agencies to "redouble their efforts" is far from a guarantee that there will ever be a final answer about how COVID-19 emerged among humans. That is near-impossible now without the full cooperation of China and given Biden's acknowledgment that there are already competing theories that seem plausible to U.S. analysts.
