Summary
The WHO reiterated calls for China to provide data on COVID-19 origins, five years after the virus emerged in Wuhan.
The lack of transparency has hindered understanding of the pandemic’s early stages. Initial theories pointed to animal-to-human transmission via Wuhan’s wet market, but speculation about a lab leak persists.
A 2021 WHO-China report deemed a lab leak “extremely unlikely,” though no firm conclusions were reached. China has rejected further investigations.
While most scientists favor natural origins, debate remains, complicating efforts to prevent future pandemics.
China would rather blame it on people eating weird shit than admit any fuckups. The Chinese government is NOT working in the interest of all humanity, and often not for its own population’s well-being either.
They admit it, they get sued by everone around wanting reparations for the pandemic.
