China's rejection of WHO probe 'unacceptable and dangerous' -WH

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In May, U.S. President Joe Biden ordered aides to find answers to questions over the origin. At the time he disclosed that U.S. intelligence agencies were pursuing rival theories potentially including the possibility of a laboratory accident in China.

The WHO this month proposed a second phase of studies into the origins of the coronavirus in China, including audits of laboratories and markets in the city of Wuhan, calling for transparency from authorities. Biden has backed that probe in addition to his own.

But China is not living up to its obligations by trying to block further investigation, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki, who spoke at a briefing for reporters."Their position is irresponsible and, frankly, dangerous," she said.

Zeng Yixin, vice minister of China's National Health Commission (NHC), told reporters that the WHO plan "disregards common sense and defies science." Zeng reiterated China's position that some data could not be completely shared due to privacy concerns.

1. That is unacceptable

2. China has begun pushing the narrative in state controlled media that COVID-19 didn't actually

originate in Wuhan at all, but rather some other country.

That project could be undermined by a competent investigation not controlled by the CCP, if in fact it did originate in Wuhan or some other region of the PRC.

3. I have to laugh

The two hides I have were from bringing up this sort of thing, when Lab Leak theory was somehow right-wing talking points. ("Right-wing talking points!" = I don't like what you said. Please make the wrong thoughts go away.)

A lot has changed in two months, eh?

Tch.
