New WHO report fails to rule out COVID-19 lab leak origin as China continues to impede investigation

A World Medical Organization WHO scientific advisory group on Friday circulated a analysis on the origins of COVID- concluding that available evidence suggests the deadly pandemic was caused by zoonotic spillover either directly from bats or through an intermediate host The description from the Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens SAGO which alleges to be a panel of independent international multidisciplinary experts announced that much of the information needed to fully evaluate all hypotheses has not been provided However still citing a concluded cause WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that all hypotheses must remain on the table including zoonotic spillover and lab leak FBI EXAMINING COVID- ORIGIN 'COVER-UP' AMID NEW STRAIN EMERGENCE BONGINOAs the Wall Street Journal previously broadcasted the WHO's COVID- origin findings come amid a pattern of suspicious activity The WHO traveled to China in early with British zoologist Dr Peter Daszak who was disbarred last year from doing work for the U S Department of Physical condition and Human Services and is accused of using American taxpayer dollars to fund gain-of-function research at the bat lab in Wuhan China Once at the Wuhan lab Daszak and others were allegedly blocked from doing any of the research necessary to investigate DR MARC SIEGEL TRUMP IS RIGHT TO BLOCK 'DANGEROUS' GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCHAs noted by the White House when highlighting a overview from the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV- publication which was used repeatedly by citizens medical personnel and the media to discredit the lab leak theory was prompted by Dr Anthony Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID- originated in nature The WHO noted it had requested that China share hundreds of genetic sequences from individuals with COVID- early in the pandemic more detailed information about the animals sold at markets in Wuhan and information on work done and biosafety conditions at laboratories in Wuhan To date China has not shared this information either with SAGO or the WHO TRUMP BANS FEDERAL FUNDING FOR 'DANGEROUS' GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH I thank each of the members of SAGO for dedicating their time and expertise to this very fundamental scientific undertaking over more than three years Ghebreyesus wrote in a declaration We continue to appeal to China and any other country that has information about the origins of COVID- to share that information openly in the interests of protecting the world from future pandemics SAGO published its initial findings and recommendations in a review on June The most of fresh overview updates the evaluation based on peer-reviewed papers and reviews as well as available unpublished information and field studies interviews and other reports including audit findings ruling body reports and intelligence reports Those part of SAGO convened in various formats times conducted briefings with researchers academics journalists and others according to the WHO READ THE FULL DOCUMENT HERE As the account says this is not solely a scientific endeavor it is a moral and ethical imperative Marietjie Venter chair of the group wrote in a announcement Understanding the origins of SARS-CoV- and how it sparked a pandemic is needed to help prevent future pandemics save lives and livelihoods and reduce global suffering The work to understand the origins of SARS-CoV- remains unfinished the WHO wrote in a message WHO welcomes any further evidence on the origins of COVID- and SAGO remains committed to reviewing any new information should it become available
