The leader of the World Health Organization (WHO) privately believes that Covid “leaked from a laboratory” has been supported. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confessed privately to a European politician that the most probable cause of the epidemic was a catastrophic accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, according to a government source citing the Mail on Sunday. This is despite the fact that the organization publicly claims that “all cases remain on the table”. In the past, the WHO has been criticized for accepting that a laboratory leak was merely a “conspiracy theory”. However, the body is increasingly taking a “neutral” public stance following limited evidence of a “zoonotic” spread – the process by which a virus is transmitted from an animal to a human has been found. Western intelligence services first issued concerns about the Wuhan Institute of Virology in April 2020, suggesting that scientists were handling corona viruses in bats 1,000 miles away from the center. These caves may be where Covid-19 originated.

The more it takes, the harder it becomes. We must act quickly and act with a sense of urgency. “ He added that “all cases must remain on the table”.

But the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and 14 other nations have criticized the findings as “serious”. Dr. Tedros went on to admit that the report was incorrect and ordered the new procedure. A WHO spokesman said: “Dr. Tentros has consistently said that all cases remain on the table as scientists continue their work.” Contact our news team by emailing us at [email protected] For more stories like this, check out our news page.
