The U.S. should be playing a larger role in getting to the bottom of the theory that Covid-19 first leaked from a virology lab in Wuhan, China, Atlantic Council senior fellow Jamie Metzl told CNBC on Monday.
The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
A previously undisclosed U.S. intelligence report found that researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology sought hospital care after falling ill “with symptoms consistent with both Covid-19 and common seasonal illness,” The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday, quoting from the report.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that determining the origins of Covid-19 is up to an international investigation led by the World Health Organization, and that the U.S. cannot lead a probe on its own.
The World Health Organization has repeatedly said the virus most likely jumped from bats to humans through another animal. It has described the theory that the virus leaked from a lab as “extremely unlikely,” but has not ruled it out. Metzl said he thinks the theory is a “likely hypothesis.”
“Why would you have a bat coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan and not in southern China, where the horseshoe bats are located? And what we know that they do have in Wuhan, is China’s only level 4 virology institute, with the world’s largest collection of bat coronaviruses, that was doing aggressive research designed to make those pathogens more dangerous,” Metzl said.

China told Biden in stark terms to not allow the US to conduct a legitimate investigation. Or they’ll start leaking his corrupt. And his family’s.
Has someone given the “all clear signal”?
Now it is permissible for people to discuss this in the media without it being deleted as “conspiracy”.
Also Biden can now discuss building more fence along the border.
And it’s okay to go without a mask and sell tickets for 100,000 attendance concert festivals in Chicago and Austin.
Orange Man was deposed from office. They don’t have to lockdown discussions about these things anymore.
This is from CNBC?
I’ll bet that heads will roll over this.
I think you are right. I also think they are working to pin this all on Fauci. It was and is a lot bigger conspiracy. He played a role but he is not the puppet master, just one of the puppets.

The WHO, the band would do a better job.
If anyone believes they’re going to admit Trump was right, you’re crazier than a sprayed cockroach.

Everything revolved around removing Trump. It was pure scorched earth. It is sickening that I guess the forces that be are pivoting to a different angle. We are being played.
Who says they’re going to admit Trump was right?
These people are collective narcissists. People like that go to their graves never truly admitting they are wrong about anything. It starts in early childhood, gets fed, then you have ...well... what we see.
They will never admit Trump was right. They will never let him into the White House. Never.
That does not mean Trump was not right. He was. It doesn’t mean Trump didn’t win the White House. He did.
Why do people assume Trump loses this? He doesn’t. Trump always wins. Every time
No standing... very sad.
Why is John McCain Roberts still serving as a supreme court justice?
Why hasn’t he been forced to eat his own rulings on 2020 election fraud???
Roberts needs to be removed from USSC immediately!
Read up.
Start with Trump.
It'll take them another year, at least, to connect the dots leading to Fauci and the NIH grants to said lab.
Then they'll blame Pres Trump for selecting Fauci as the point person & keeping Fauci front and center for as long as Pres Trump did.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that determining the origins of Covid-19 is up to an international investigation led by the World Health Organization, and that the U.S. cannot lead a probe on its own.
Y'know, because the US isn't part of the international community. What a baldfaced liar.
I say he retires within 2 months.
