THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION has called on the United States and China to share what they know about the source of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The call, made by WHO’s Director-General
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and others, came days after United States
Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray said in a
television interview that COVID-19 “most likely” originated from a
Chinese government laboratory.
Wray made the statement last week in a televised interview
with Fox News, in response to a question about the origins of the
COVID-19 virus. Wray said that, “for quite some time now”, the FBI has
“assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential
lab incident in Wuhan”, a city in central China. Wuhan hosts the Wuhan
Institute of Virology, which includes laboratories that specialize on
biosecurity and the study of newly emerging infectious diseases. Wray
added that Beijing has “been doing its best to try to thwart and
obfuscate the work” of the United States in trying to determine the
precise origins of the virus.
Late last week, Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, an infectious disease epidemiologist and the WHO’s technical lead on COVID-19, said
the WHO had contacted the United States’ mission to the United Nations
in Geneva, Switzerland, to inquire about the information that informs
the FBI’s assessment. On Friday, meanwhile, Dr. Tedros called for “any
country [with] information about the origins of the pandemic” to come
forward. The WHO Director-General went on to say that “it’s essential
for that information to be shared with WHO and the international
scientific community”.
The WHO also called on China “to be
transparent in sharing data and to conduct the necessary investigations
and share the results” with the global scientific community, “not so as
to apportion blame, but to advance our understanding of how this
pandemic started, so we can prevent, prepare for and respond to future
epidemics and pandemics”. When asked about the WHO’s own investigation
into the origins of COVID-19, Dr. Tedros responded that “all hypotheses
on the origins of the virus remain on the table”.
In the meantime, China responded angrily
to the FBI director’s comments. Beijing has previously dismissed claims
that COVID-19 may have emerged as a result of an accident at a Chinese
government-funded lab as a disinformation campaign designed to smear its
image and reputation around the world. Last week, Mao Ning, a
spokeswoman for China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, reacted
angrily to allegations that the government of China is responsible for
the COVID-19 pandemic. Mao called on the United States to “look to its
own biological laboratories scattered across the world when searching
for the virus’s source”.
