Berlin: The head of the World Health Organization recognizes that it is premature to override the potential relationship between the pandemic Covid-19 and laboratory leakage, and he said Thursday he asked China to be more transparent as a scientist looking for the origin of the Corona virus.
In a rare departure of his respect for strong member countries, the Director General of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that gaining access to raw data had been a challenge for the international team traveling to China earlier this year to investigate Covid-19 sources.
The first human cases were identified in the city of Wuhan China.
Tedros told reporters that the UN Health Office based in Geneva was “asking for actually China to transparently, open and work together, especially on information, the raw data we asked for the early days of the pandemic.” He said there had been a “premature boost” to put aside the theory that the virus might have escaped from the Chinese government lab in Wuhan – destroying who had a march report, which concluded that laboratory leakage was “very impossible.” “I am a lab technician, I am an immunology, and I have worked in the lab, and Lab accidents occur,” said Tedros.
“It’s common.” In recent months, the idea that pandemics began somehow in the laboratory and possibly involving engineered viruses had received traction, especially with President Joe Biden ordered a review of US intelligence to assess the possibility in May.
China has returned aggressively, on the grounds that efforts to connect the origin of Covid-19 to a politically laboratory motivated and suggested that the virus may have begun abroad.
At the annual meeting of WHO Minister of Health in the spring, China said that the future search of the origin of Covid-19 must continue in other countries.
Most scientists suspect that Coronavirus comes from bats, but the right route with which he first jumps into people – through intermediaries or in other ways – not yet determined.
It usually takes decades to narrow the natural source of animal viruses such as Ebola or SARS.
Tedros said that “checking what happened, especially in our lab, importantly” to nail if the pandemic has a laboratory link.
“We need information, direct information about what this lab situation is before and at the beginning of the pandemic,” said the head whose, adding that Chinese cooperation was very important.
“If we get complete information, we can exclude (LAB connection).” Throughout the pandemic, Tedro has repeatedly praised China for speed and transparency even though seniors who internally gripping the confusion of their Chinese colleagues.
Last year, The Associated Press found that frustrated with the lack of detail from China during the initial stages of the spread of Coronavirus and showed that China clamped on hidden hunting for the origin of pandemic.
Many public health experts have also called for independent examinations of Covid-19 origins, debating who does not have a political influence to carry out forensic analysis and that the UN agency has failed after more than a year to extract critical details from China.
The Who-LED mission to China also requires government approval for all experts who travel to the country, and permission to visit the field site and final approval on each travel report.
Whose emergency head Dr.
Michael Ryan previously said the agency worked with consensus and could not force the country to work together.
Tedros’s appeal for transparency was echoed by German Minister Jens Jens Spahn, who urged Chinese officials to enable investigation into the origin of the virus to continue.
“We appreciate the cooperation of the Chinese government so far for the first mission,” said Spahn.
“But it’s not enough.”
