For many years, the German government has hidden the assessment by the foreign intelligence reporting agency that the lab origins of Covid-19 are overwhelmingly likely, according to a Tuesday report by two German newspapers.

A jointly published investigation Die Zeit and Sueddeutscher ZeitungGerman intelligence news (BND) claims they met in Berlin within weeks of the emergence of SARS-COV-2 in early 2020 for a mission called “Project Saaremaa,” named after Estonia’s Baltic island.

The agent working on “Project Saaremaa” has successfully blocked the information by Chinese authorities, and has obtained unpublished data and documents from Wuhan, according to the newspaper. The press reports that this information was shared with BND scientists. A team of BND scientists led by virologists combined secret intelligence with public scientific literature coming from Uhan, including the lab at the Wuhan Institute of Wuhan Institute in Uhan. Their final analysis, which is likely completed in 2020, was estimated to have a probability of about 80-95% of the lab origin of the pandemic.

Unpublished papers on the coronavirus and their effects on the brain are central to the assessment, the newspaper reported. New findings will emerge in the fall of 2021, which could further convince BND.

The survey suggests that the German intelligence agency may have notified changes in the Central Intelligence Agency’s assessment in January. The CIA confidently updated its public rating from undecided to the Lab Origins on January 25, 2025, after prompting a prompt by CIA Director John Ratcliffe, but the agency previously updated the ratings.

Ratcliffe accused the CIA of being overly shaken up by politics for the question. Similarly, the newspaper reports that if the BND rating was published, the German government was threatened by the possibility of a geopolitical reverberation of the earthquake.

The paper also claims that Prime Minister Wolfgang Schmidt received a briefing by the president of BND, who assessed Covid-19 as occurring in the lab. In May 2023, Schmidt approached Biden’s Director of National Intelligence. Avril Haynes downplayed the findings of US intelligence agencies, such as the Department of Energy, in favour of laboratory origins, newspapers alleges.

The reluctance of the German government to publish the assessment could have been influenced by public assurances from renowned virologists such as the Charite Centre of Global Health Scientific Director Christian Drosten. “Anthony Fauko of Germany” Reports say the pandemic had natural origins. Drosten was temporarily involved Private Discussion Francis Collins at the National Institutes of Health, Francis Collins of Anthony Forsy, director of the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and later trusted director Jeremy Farrar, according to slack messages and emails who dived into some of the subcomites of the Coronavirus pandemic on how to handle the swirling speculation about the Uhan Institute.

Drosten, CIA, The Who, and Odni did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Reevaluation

The newspaper reports that BND has begun to review the evidence from December 2024 along with outside German scientists, including Drosten, in their monthly sessions.

In the UK, Baroness Merron, Secretary of State for the Department of Health and Social Affairs, said in response to the CIA’s latest assessment, the government will “continuously consider its own assessment of the origins of the virus, taking into account new intelligence.”
