China should allow further investigation into COVID-19 origins, says Canada’s health minister

China should welcome further investigation into the origins of COVID-19, Canada’s health minister told the Star Wednesday, saying that current evidence is “mixed.”

Jean-Yves Duclos was speaking to the Star’s Moira Welsh in the wake of media reports that the U.S. Department of Energy assessed with “low confidence” that the pandemic started with a lab leak in China.Meanwhile, a spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council said Monday that there is no consensus in the intelligence community on how COVID-19 started.

“It's important to know the truth of this story,” Duclos said Wednesday. “Where COVID-19 started is important to be able to understand a) why it started there and b) what the risk of future pandemics may be.”“And not only is it mixed, but there is little confidence as to the evidence that exists now,” he said.

“It would be obviously welcome and very good if China allowed international organizations, including the WHO, to further investigate. But unfortunately, that is not happening.” China argued Tuesday that it has been “open and transparent” when it comes to COVID-19, which the U.S. government has disputed, the Associated Press reported. China also once again pushed back against any suggestion that the pandemic started with a lab leak.

This is like trying to determine who gave you the flu when you've had casual contact with hundreds of people. We'll never know for sure, so why bother spinning our wheels over it? You get better and you move on.

The virus was developed in Fort Detrick, a biological weapons lab. It was carried by US personnel to the Military World Games in Wuhan where it was released. Fort Detrick was closed in August 2019.

Can’t trust anything the CCP says

CIA says opposite of FBI (Wray). Plus, most scientists say it came from wildlife trade:

Trudeau would not allow Canada to participate in such an investigation and there are many reasons why

Lab leak is a conspiracy and misinformation. We all know the science is right and it came from a pangolin…

Why should they when your boss won’t allow investigations into election irregularities?

When even Trudeau administration saying this.
