Upon the back of new evidence, the US Secretary of State ,Mike Pompeo, demanded the WHO to launch an investigation into the possibility that the virus was a “accidental” lab leak.
On January 28, 2021, after 2 weeks of quarantine the WHO probe team begin their investigation in Wuhan, China tasked to learn the origins of SARS-CoV-2, this is a little over one year after the virus was discovered in humans.
Part of the investigation team is Peter Daszak from EcoHealth Alliance, whos organisation provides funding to the Wuhan lab for work on bat coronavirus research, a man who is clearly conflicted.
Shi Zhengli-Li who receives funding from EcoHealth Alliance and claimed no lab staff were infected, is the deputy director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The Wuhan lab deleted their data.
A cluster of COVID-19 case was found at the Huanan wet market, where bats were not sold, according to a paper sited by US officials in February 2020.
Lab origin is not ruled out!
