A World Health Organization ("WHO") scientist has come out against a theory that COVID-19 was leaked from a Wuhan laboratory, claiming China's silence comes from a misunderstanding from other countries.
Dr Peter Daszak, a leading zoologist and member of the WHO investigation team, travelled to China in January, reporting COVID-19 was unlikely to have escaped from a Wuhan lab.
Director General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom, has conceded that the team’s report was not “extensive enough” after 14 countries, including the US and UK, made a joint statement to express concerns over its conclusions.
