London -A group of experts drafted by the World Health Organization to investigate the cause of the coronavirus pandemic, it was a laboratory accident to determine how COVID-19 first started. Further research is needed, including a more detailed analysis of the possibilities.
That stance shows a sharp reversal of the UN Health Agency’s first assessment of the origin of the pandemic when it concluded last year that COVID-19 could have spilled from the laboratory to humans “very unlikely.” I am.
In a report released Thursday, a group of WHO experts said there was still a lack of “important data” to explain how the pandemic began. A comprehensive test of all rational hypotheses. “
He said the highly politicized theory could not be ignored, as past laboratory accidents caused several outbreaks.
Former US President Donald Trump repeatedly speculated that COVID-19 was launched at a Chinese laboratory, but there was no evidence. He also accused WHO of “collusion” with China to cover up the first outbreak because the UN Health Organization continued to praise China.
According to a group of WHO experts, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has sent two letters to senior Chinese government officials requesting information containing details on early human cases of COVID-19 in Wuhan. Experts said no studies have been provided to WHO assessing the possible COVID-19 leaks in the laboratory. They said their understanding of how the coronavirus emerged was limited by factors, including the lack of publication of all the studies presented by Chinese scientists on the virus.
Scientists have conducted studies assessing the role of wildlife, which is believed to be the natural reservoir of COVID-19, and in places where the virus may have first spread, such as Wuhan’s Huanan Seafood Market. He said that many research means such as environmental research are needed. ..
Last March, WHO published a report on the origin of COVID-19, following a highly choreographed visit to China by international scientists. ..
However, after receiving considerable criticism, including criticism from some scientists on the WHO team, Tedros admitted that it was “premature” to rule out lab leaks, and transparency of information sharing to China. He said he requested that he be more sexual.
In its new report, WHO said it was granted access to data in 2019, including data from unpublished blood samples from more than 40,000 Wuhan people.
Nothing was found. This suggests that the virus was not widespread before it was first identified in late December of that year.
WHO experts have asked for a number of studies, including testing wildlife to find species that may be hosting COVID-19. They also said that the “cold chain” supply theory needs to be scrutinized. This is China’s advanced scientifically questionable theory, claiming that traces of COVID-19 in frozen packaging are causing the outbreak rather than the domestic source.
To investigate whether COVID-19 could be the result of a laboratory accident, WHO experts said, “With lab staff responsible for managing and implementing biosafety and biosecurity. “We need to investigate. Managed by COVID-19.
China previously called the proposal that COVID-19 started in the lab “unfounded” and could have occurred at an American facility that is also known to be studying the coronavirus in animals. I argued that there was. It’s the origin of the pandemic, but we need to focus on other countries.
Last August, WHO scientists lamented that the quest for the origin of the pandemic was stalled and the window of opportunity was “rapidly closing.” They warned that it is now becoming increasingly difficult to collect data from at least two years ago.
Many public health experts say the WHO lacks both political power and independence to determine how the pandemic began, worldwide to investigate the origin of COVID-19. I’m looking for a good committee.
