The World Health Organization has prompted renewed friction with the Chinese Communist Party after a new report refused to rule out a theory that the COVID-19 pandemic originated because of a lab leak in China.
The Chinese government has remained on the defensive amid international criticism that the CCP has not been fully cooperative or transparent in global investigations into the origins of the virus. The prevailing theory among many scientists is that the virus originated in wild animals and migrated to humans, also known as zoonotic transmission, but others argue SARS-CoV-2 most likely started at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Yungui, also the deputy director of the Beijing Institute of Genomics, previously participated from the Chinese side in the WHO’s first joint mission in early 2021, which attempted to dismiss the lab leak possibility. He reiterated the unsubstantiated argument that the virus originated in a U.S. military lab, citing “highly suspicious laboratories such as Fort Detrick.”
