WHO scientist puts COVID lab leak theory back under spotlight

Al Jazeera  

Head of WHO mission probing pandemic origins says virus may have started with a Wuhan lab staffer becoming infected. The WHO on Thursday urged China to share raw data from the earliest COVID-19 cases to assist the pandemic origins probe – and release data to address the lab leak theory. Jamie Metzl, who sits on a WHO advisory board on human genome editing and who has been leading efforts calling for an independent investigation on how COVID-19 started, described Embarek’s comments as “a game-changer”, describing his earlier declaration that a lab leak was unlikely “shameful”. “It’s even more significant that the international expert team who stated with such confidence in the February Wuhan press event that a lab origin was unlikely themselves believed this was not the case and were simply trying to assuage their Chinese government-affiliated hosts,” said Metzl. In recent weeks, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has acknowledged it was “ premature ” to rule out a possible lab leak as the source of COVID-19, saying last month that he was asking China to be more transparent about the early days of the pandemic.
