So the Wuhan dossier backfired speculatively. The Australian media was used like a fool by the U.S. embassy:

Former Australian Labor foreign ministers Gareth Evans and Bob Carr said the episode showed the importance of maintaining independent intelligence from the US.

"Pushing the Wuhan lab line in defiance of all intelligence assessments is just another nail in the coffin of US international credibility - and it's crucial for our own that we don't get further sucked in to Trump's political agenda," said Professor Evans, who is the President Emeritus of the International Crisis Group.

Professor Carr said there should be a comprehensive inquiry into the leak of the dossier.

"It seems the US embassy gave a confected report to an Australian newspaper inflating baseless claims that the COVID19 virus was hatched in a Chinese laboratory in Wuhan," he said.

"The report, published in Australia, was fed into Fox News commentary and used by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to stoke an allegation even flimsier than the [weapons of mass destruction] in the context of the Iraq war.

"If that is true it is blatant embassy interference in Australian politics. One can only imagine the reaction if it had of been attempted by the Chinese embassy."

The Trump administration is really in disarray, considering that new models just raised the predicted lower limit of daily death from about 60 to 1,500 (see the chart "U.S. Projected Daily Death").

Not only Australia. This is happening in other countries also.
The US State Department, through the US embassies, is selectively leaking faulty dossier.
It contained no intelligence and was made up of publicly available material, including news reports.

And they call it a "dossier" to make it seem more legit.

Wow, Japan got really low and the same with Korea. That's a surprise I didn't expect. Can anyone explain this because I thought news said they did great?
