Ya could say (with the PRC,s reluctance to have the WHO to even be there and the WHO's now conclusion) that it wasn't a natural spillover from the wet market

Lab origin theory needs further probing, WHO chief says

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) is calling for investigators probing how the pandemic started to look deeper into a theory about a possible lab incident, which they all but rejected.

"Although the team has concluded that a laboratory leak is the least likely hypothesis, this requires further investigation, potentially with additional missions involving specialist experts, which I am ready to deploy," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says.

He has been speaking at a briefing ahead of a long-awaited report into the origins of the virus, which follows a mission to the Chinese city of Wuhan.

The WHO chief also suggests investigators had difficulty accessing information during the trip.

"I expect future collaborative studies to include more timely and comprehensive data sharing," he says.

If the WHO actually suggest that, it means what everyone suspected would be waiting for them - a Chinese wall of silence or lies.

They had over a year to clean the crime scene and make the players learn their lines.

A classic whitewash by the authorities. What a waste of time imo. Lip service. Toothless tiger. They were never going to allow this investigation to find or reveal anything definitive that would further harm the reputation of the country.
