Lancet investigation into origin of COVID-19 pandemic shut down over bias risk: BMJ report

The task force shutting down was “the correct action,” said biosafety expert and Rutgers University professor Richard Ebright in the BMJ report, who characterized the ties the Lancet’s proposed COVID-19 probe team had to EcoHealth Alliance as “disqualifying conflicts of interest.

It states that further work on these issues will be addressed in a report by the commission’s secretariat “in consultation with global experts.” The BMJ report states that Daszak led the charge on a February 2020 statement in the Lancet alleging that it was a “conspiracy theory” to argue that the pandemic could have started from a laboratory leak in Wuhan.

However, the non-profit group U.S. Right to Know published emails gathered from freedom of information requests that showed that Daszak had not disclosed he was funding Shi Zengli from the Wuhan Institute of Virology during the time he published the statement.

from Daszak includes an acknowledgment that EcoHealth Alliance’s work in China was previously funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the United States Agency for International Development, but stated that Daszak nor EcoHealth Alliance received funding from China.

Uh huh.......
