    “China has ignored appeals for an independent investigation into the virus’s origin, hammering Australia with trade restrictions after it called for one. It’s also stalled efforts by the World Health Organization to get top infectious diseases experts into Wuhan this year.”https://twitter.com/HelenBranswell/status/1345204137064062976 …

    Very interesting piece. I wasn't very hopeful last January that the origins of the outbreak could be teased out; I'm much less hopeful now. But there's a pattern. SARS-1. H5N1. H7N9. SARS-2. We should assume this list will grow. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-12-30/china-is-making-it-harder-to-solve-the-mystery-of-how-covid-began …

        A big red flag! If China gets away with stalling the investigation, it will be a big slap in the face of the international community.

        Should’ve happened Jan 2020. It’s despicable.

        Is the US allowing international investigation into reports of widespread presence of virus in country as early as Nov & Dec 2019? And into its apparent months-long cover-up of that presence at the time? Not reporting cases back then, blocking antibodies testing in Jan etc.

        When you send out this fake news attacking China, don't you really feel in your heart that you are telling too many lies? Does God really teach you to lie?

        The agreement between WHO and China states that foreign scientists will only use data and information provided by Chinese experts, and the latter need government approval before revealing info. Unfortunately, this means that Chinese government will conduct investigations, not WHO

        China apparently sees that it can take advantage of its success in dealing with Covid by making life more difficult for those who are less successful.

        But those results from the Italian cancer study that detect virus antibodies from Sept. 2019. I can't ignore them. They haven't been refuted, they have simply been ignored because they didn't fit. Sampling European bat species might be a thing.
