CIA spokesperson
As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most likely originated from a lab leak, and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous.AI Verified (May 13, 2026)

The quote is directly on the complete statement: it explicitly says COVID-19 "most likely originated from a lab leak," which squarely addresses lab-related origin versus natural zoonotic spillover. In source context, it is presented as Liz Lyons's statement defending the CIA's assessment, so the author's stance on the complete statement is readily determinable.

The quote explicitly supports the statement: it says COVID-19 “most likely originated from a lab leak” and calls efforts to dispute that conclusion “disingenuous,” which is a clear pro-lab-origin stance.

Authentic. The New York Post URL is not directly fetchable here, but NYPost indexing identifies that exact May 13, 2026 Josh Christenson article, and a same-day syndicated New York Post copy on AOL reproduces the quote verbatim and attributes it to CIA spokeswoman Liz Lyons; Fox News independently reports the identical Lyons statement as well. The stored quote text, attribution to Liz Lyons, and date are consistent with those sources.
