WHO expert group says lab leak theory needs more study
Washington Examiner ^ | 6/9/22 | Asher Notheis, Breaking News Reporter

The World Health Organization is revisiting the origins of COVID-19, including taking another look at a theory many derided as a conspiracy.

During initial investigations into how the global pandemic seeped into circulation, the WHO assessed it was “extremely unlikely” COVID-19 originated as the result of a lab leak. Now, the organization said the theory warrants further study.

An expert group drafted by the WHO to help investigate COVID-19's origins claimed that “key pieces of data” are still missing to explain how the pandemic started and that more research, including a more detailed analysis of the possibility it was a laboratory accident, is needed. Because lab accidents have previously triggered some outbreaks, the lab leak theory cannot be discounted, according to a report the WHO released Thursday.

I well remember how the left vilified anyone who said otherwise.

During initial investigations into how the global pandemic seeped into circulation, the WHO assessed it was “extremely unlikely” COVID-19 originated as the result of a lab leak.

I totally agree with WHO - it was EXTREMELY unlikely. It's FAR more likely that COVID-19 originated just a few blocks down the road from that very lab, in a so-called "wet food market." Out of all the places in the whole world, it just happens to be a few blocks away from that lab ... yeah, right.

Even the ultra-far-left Jon Stewart had to go on his close friend Stephen Colbert's talk show and explain to him something like (paraphrase): "Stephen! C'mon, the name of that Wuhan lab is the same as the virus!" (Immediately, the live audience and far-left Colbert laugh but, of course, Colbert immediately gets very serious and reverts to his far-left attitude of, There's no way the Communist China leaders would ever do and cover up something like that.)

The Wu-Flu origin is so obvious. Even today, the Communist China leaders won't allow anyone outside of Communist China to do a real investigation into the origin of the China Wu-Flu Virus. The Communist China leaders are a bunch of phonies. The Chinese people are great. But the Communist China leaders are pathetic. Hey, Communist China leaders, give the Chinese people what they've earned - a real democratic republic. They'd absolutely love it! No more living in intense fear of the Communist politicians, government, and military.

That means “we’re going to drop it and you’d better forget it.”

Does anybody think the chicoms are going to reveal that they released a deadly virus on the world?

but notice much of this discussion is not in the public discourse right now

The WHO is changing course and investigating the lab leak theory a bit closer...

What...were they afraid it might cause a war or was America’s Fauci god more afraid of being caught lying to the public?

It might take years, even decades...but the truth will come out.
