Your sensationalist headline is betrayed by your own quoting Wray in the article. “Most likely” is a much lower level of knowledge than “confirms.”
There is currently no confirming evidence that it was a lab leak. These are all guesses. The DOE as well qualified their recent tentative stance that it was a lab leak as “low confidence,” which they define as based on unreliable, fragmented, and incomplete evidence. This is a non-starter. Lesson learned: don’t rely on headlines for accurate information.
