lab in chiwuhan, china. and in east palestine, the new technique to track contaminated water from that city. and the growing concern to other cities taking in truckloads of contaminated soil. and an image in oklahoma, cnn is on the scene. welcome to the lead i m jake tapper. we start with the groundbreaking assertion with the u.s. energy department that the covid-19 pandemic likely began from a lab leak in wuhan, china. this all comes after the energy department updated its 2021 report with this claim, saying it made the new conclusion, based on new evidence coming to light. two sources telling cnn the department is issuing the report with, quote, low confidence. that s a term that doesn t mean that they don t believe their own conclusion. it means that the evidence as of now is only circumstantial. the new assertion reveals that the u.s. intelligence community is more divided than ever on how the pandemic began. four other agencies in the u.s. government said the outbr
explanations where perhaps something emerged in animals. and there was some laboratory involvement in some way, whether it was collecting specimens or infections with laboratory workers. but there s no evidence that i ve seen in the public domain that was any type of a smoking gun for a lab leak. on the other hand, we have seen animal spillover events with sars 1 and many other organisms. nature is a pretty good-by bio terrorist. and whether that s through animal activists or people encroaching on animal environments that have not been encroached on before and getting infected, we need to be safer. 20 million lives and $10 trillion in economic losses from this pandemic. we need to do much better keeping countries safe. dr. tom frieden, thank you so much. the vastly different plans
