BEIJING: China rejected on Thursday (Jul 22) a World Health Organization (WHO) plan for a second phase of an investigation into the origin of the ...

"We hope the WHO would seriously review the considerations and suggestions made by Chinese experts and truly treat the origin tracing of the COVID-19 virus as a scientific matter, and get rid of political interference," Zeng said.The origin of the virus remains contested among experts.

The first known cases emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. The virus was believed to have jumped to humans from animals being sold for food at a city market.In May, US President Joe Biden ordered aides to find answers to questions over the origin saying that US intelligence agencies were pursuing rival theories potentially including the possibility of a laboratory accident in China.

"We believe a lab leak is extremely unlikely and it is not necessary to invest more energy and efforts in this regard," said Liang Wannian, the Chinese team leader on the WHO joint expert team. However, Liang said the lab leak hypothesis could not be entirely discounted but suggested that if evidence warranted, other countries could look into the possibility it leaked from their labs.

Looks like all of the WHO’s praise to China, refusing to acknowledge Taiwan, and “win-win cooperation” hasn’t helped them to actually uncover facts about COVID in China. Who would have thought!

China leaks the virus and the world knows it, except CCP’s paid guys

That’s okay, that means we can now conclude that it did leak from the Wuhan lab as part of the PLA gain of function viral research bio weapons program.

Fort Detrick lab in USA, which stores the most deadly and infectious viruses in the world, including Ebola, smallpox, SARS, MERS and the novel coronavirus. The leak of any of them would cause severe danger to the world.

If they have nothing to hide, they wouldn’t be afraid of an investigation. The stance they’re taking makes them more suspicious than ever.

China will permit if Fort Detrick is also investigated by WHO

Why no one talk about Fort Detrick?

Anyone who has something to hide, reacts this way. China owes the world!

It’s is definitely leaked from lab based on China’s response

In today’s episode of “well they would say that, wouldn’t they”.
