The team of World Health Organization researchers that has been in China over the past few weeks trying to determine how the novel coronavirus started in that country says the disease is unlikely to have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology and more likely jumped from an animal to a human.
The conclusion was announced Tuesday as the team concluded its investigation.
The Chinese government said when first reporting the virus outbreak in late-2019 that it started when a woman bought and ate a bat at an exotic, outdoor food market in the city of Wuhan. However, U.S. lawmakers and others have since raised concerns about whether it was leaked from the lab.
In addition, world leaders have raised concerns about the Chinese Communist Party's transparency about the start of virus and its early response. And they have raised similar concerns about the WHO.
The central China lab having collected extensive virus samples led to the allegations that it may have caused the original outbreak by leaking the virus into the surrounding community.
The WHO team is considering several theories for how the disease first ended up in humans, leading to a pandemic that has now killed more than 2.3 million people worldwide, according to the Associated Press.
"Our initial findings suggest that the introduction through an intermediary host species is the most likely pathway and one that will require more studies and more specific targeted research," WHO food safety and animal diseases expert Peter Ben Embarek said at a news conference Tuesday.
"However, the findings suggest that the laboratory incidents hypothesis is extremely unlikely to explain the introduction of the virus to the human population" and will not be suggested as an avenue of future study, Embarek also said, according to the wire service.
China owns WHO, so what do you expect?
Of course they said that, they work for the CCP.
And maybe they want to leave, alive.
So we’re back to the wet market theory and those should be banned.
And if you believe that, they’ll tell you another one!
Wow. Really? Gobsmacked, I tell ya.
I thought that they’d at least take a couple more weeks to make it look like a serious investigation...
/s
Just a matter of time before it’s blamed on the Jews.
Evidence based on fact would be nice.
In other news, WHO endorses steaming bovine excrement sandwiches as the healthiest and most nutritious food source.
The Big Lie
Exactly. No jumping from China back to Africa or wherever for WHO without saying that. Complete garbage.
That is one theory. But their is a strong case to be made that Covid-19 was a bio-warfare attack on the US in particular and the world in general.
China wants to be the dominate power in the world. I don’t think anyone can honestly dispute that statement.
They have proof of exactly NOTHING one way or the other.
Fourth world idjit commies.
Fox guarding the henhouse, much??
Only American on this “investigation” team was FRAUDci’s wingman.
🤔
it’s Trump’s fault
The trouble with the planet Earth is that it has way too many “assperts” that know everything.
Now, it’s jumping BACK to the animals in the zoos. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Time to rename it the Ping Pong flu. Maybe not. That sounds too Red Chinesist.
I’m 98.2% sure that they are lying to coverup for the CCP.
That lump under the rug is bat lady.
The WHO is worthless. Something that President Trump realized early on.
Too bad his fraud covered successor can’t see that.
