W.H.O. Adviser: ‘Actual Investigation’ in W.H.O. Wuhan COVID Probe ‘Done by Chinese Authorities’
Breitbart ^ | 02/10/2021 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 02/10/2021 7:22:32 PM PST by SeekAndFind

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” World Health Organization adviser Jamie Metzl criticized the organization’s investigation into the origins of the coronavirus for not taking a serious enough look at the possibility of an accidental lab leak and saying that “the actual investigation was done by Chinese authorities. And so, the W.H.O. investigators were basically receiving reports from the Chinese officials.”

Metzl said, “Well, the investigation itself was very short. It was two weeks of quarantine and two weeks of meetings, but the actual investigation was done by Chinese authorities. And so, the W.H.O. investigators were basically receiving reports from the Chinese officials.”

He continued, “And as I see it, the big failure is that they outlined four possible ways that COVID could have begun. One was direct bat to human. Second, bat through an animal intermediate host. Third, through shipping or some kind of frozen food from somewhere else. And four, the accidental lab leak. As you know, Laura, for more than a year, I’ve been one of the leading advocates saying we have to look very, very seriously at option four. But rather than saying, alright, let’s look more deeply at all of those possibilities, the W.H.O. investigators said we should look at the first three, but not at the accidental lab leak. And I’m just miffed that this has happened and I think it’s really terrible.”

Just like Democrats!

SOURCE: https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinese-critics-decry-whos-wuhan-probe-as-a-farce_3692886.html

A Chinese dissident has condemned the World Health Organization’s findings on the source of the pandemic as a “farce,” adding that the Chinese regime is likely to leverage them to deflect responsibility for causing the global crisis.

According to Yuan Hongbing, a Chinese academic and vocal critic of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) living in Australia, the WHO investigation in Wuhan was akin to “a farce staged by the Chinese regime.”

“We could have predicted that this so-called investigation would come to this,” he said in an interview.

As a team of experts at the WHO wrapped up its trip on Feb. 9, Peter Ben Embarek, a Danish scientist who led the WHO mission, dismissed the theory that the CCP virus may have leaked from a virology lab as “extremely unlikely.” Bats, he said, remained a likely source.

The State Department has cast doubt on the amount of transparency afforded to the WHO team and said that the United States would present its conclusion after reviewing the full WHO report.

Gordon Chang, author of “The Coming Collapse of China,” described Embarek’s comments as “intensely political.”

“This mission to Wuhan is heavily negotiated with conditions that were really essentially designed so they are not going to find out anything,” Chang told The Epoch Times’ “American Thought Leaders” program.

“They are there for a month, two weeks of which are quarantine, and they go to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for three-and-a-half hours,” he said. The team visited the lab on Feb. 3.

“I don’t know how WHO members can say that after such a cursory examination.”

The wet market went through a thorough cleansing in March 2020, destroying all the livestock and goods stored inside. Zhang Meng (alias), a volunteer who helped with the cleanout, said that they stripped everything bare during the process.

“Nothing was left save the metal board,” he said in a recent interview, adding that the WHO team had nothing to see there. “Everything was gone in a sweep.”

How China locked down internally for COVID-19, but pushed foreign travel

April 30, 2020, Economic Times

There is new evidence to show that China locked down all domestic traffic internally by end January 2020 but pushed to open foreign travel till end March.

Data from Tom Tom traffic index, a traffic location site that covers 416 cities across 57 countries show that as a result of this strategy, China, intentionally or otherwise, was able to lockdown its cities unknown to the world.

While this reduced the spread of the Corona virus within China, China’s aggressive foreign travel policy lead to a virus explosion worldwide. ...”

“Biden has said China isn’t a threat and has downplayed their ongoing campaigns to undermine the U.S. geopolitically, militarily and economically.

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” Biden said during an Iowa campaign stop last summer. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.” “The fact of the matter is we can do all we need to do without punishing anybody,” he continued.

Biden’s position on China is dangerous and not based in reality. For years the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been sending Chinese students to America’s top doctorate programs in order to gain access to university research labs. There, they steal intellectual property from the highest levels of U.S. science.

Now, we know China’s dangerous handling of viruses in its own labs has led to one of the most devastating and fastest economic destructions in global history.”

“Journalist Abebe Gellaw claims [WHO director] Tedros was one of the top three members of the TPLF [Tigrain People’s Liberation Front] and that the party is “ultimately responsible for all the corruption, killings, torture, mass detention, land grab or displacement”

The United States State Department has categorized TPLF [The Tigrain People’s Liberation Front] as a terrorist organization due to its “violent activities before it became part of the ruling coalition and the government of Ethiopia in May 1991.”

A BIDEN WIN IS AN AWARD TO CHINA FOR INVADING US USING COVID 19

Every time an American looked at an item for where it was made in it came from China. Now China’s reliance making everything was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products. When Americans hailed their leaders decision to make many of them in their country US. Their politburo worried.

Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies , as in Hong Kong, since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present Trump’s name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader Donald Trump.

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy and create defeat for that leader’s upcoming election.When they released it that was the CCP intention but it got away from them and went world wide

Dr Li Meng says so.

Even if it was accidentally leaked, China shut off Wuhan from the rest of China but allowed flights to the US & Europe to deliberately spread it.

Unquestionably. The sole American, for instance, used to work at Wuhan, after Congress prohibited U.S. funding because the work going on at Wuhan was deemed far too dangeous. Fauci waived the explicit, specific prohibition (hardly within the intent of the law!!!!) and this guy went to work. Saaaay... you don’t suppose he has an interest in finding Wuhan didn’t do anything improper, do you?

The U.S. guy in the WHO team, Peter Daszak, was taking taxpayer dollars to fund research in Wuhan into researching the how a future SARS coronavirus would spread through a community. WHO would later parrot China’s absured insistence that Covid could not spread via human-to-human contact WHILE DASZAK’S GROUP WAS IN WUHAN. IOW, if anyone should’ve known better, it would be Daszak.

And now we know that WHO’s American, Peter Daszak, was funding research into how coronavirus spread among human populations. IOW, China was actually developing secret expertise in how to prevent or help it to spread and then took steps consistent with making sure it did spread.

Just like Eric Holder investigating DOJ corruption. “I have investigated myself and found nothing wrong.”
