Zeng Yixin, the vice minister of the National Health Commission, said he was “rather taken aback" by the call for a further investigation into the pandemic's origins and specifically, the theory that the virus might have leaked from a Chinese lab.READ MORE:“It is impossible for us to accept such an origin-tracing plan,” he said at a news conference called to address the COVID-19 origins issue.
Dr Tedros said he hoped for better cooperation and access to data from China, adding that getting access to raw data had been a challenge for the international expert team that travelled to China this year to investigate the cause of the outbreak.Marion Koopmans from the World Health Organisation team of researchers in Wuhan during the investigation into COVID-19 origins.
Dr Tedros' words were echoed by Germany’s health minister, Jens Spahn, who urged Chinese officials to allow the investigation into the origins of the virus to proceed.He noted that a WHO-coordinated team of international experts who visited the lab earlier this year concluded that a lab leak was highly unlikely.
Mr Zeng also said reports that staff and graduate students at the Wuhan Institute of Virology had become sick with the virus and might have transmitted it to others were untrue.
Be nice to investigate the who while we are at it
Too much truth to hide.
When the epidemic was raging in China before, didn't WHO investigate it? Why continue the investigation? This is a provocation, and the WHO has never inspected other countries' laboratories. It is ridiculous
While investigate China the second time, other countries should be investigated as well, for example, those countries with most cases and death.
That doesn't surprise me at all...
Why Not? If your zlj517 ChinaConSydney not guilty, why fear an investigation? Covid19 impact: 4 Million+ Dead Nations economically paralyzed Billions of people suffering! The world needs answer to learn & ensure it never happens again!
What are you hiding China … send them a bill for all of this
Oh ... it must be getting too close to the truth!
CCP Muppets
Because they’re obviously guilty then. Something isn’t right about the origin of the virus and China. 😐
CCPVirus
Aust virologist sticking to covid natural origin...
Of course. Because they know they’re guilty
They're afraid of what they'll find...
Holy batshit😎
China will be the reason and cause of WWIII
China guilty AF!
That's as good as admitting they're seriously at fault somewhere in the equation.
Guilty!
there is only one possible reason why they don't like the idea
What a farce, nothing will come of it
