Over two years after the coronavirus was first detected in China, and after at least 6.3 million deaths have been counted worldwide from the pandemic, the World Health Organization is recommending in its strongest terms yet that a deeper probe is required into whether a lab accident may be to blame.
That stance marks a sharp reversal of the U.N. health agency's initial assessment of the pandemic's origins, and comes after many critics accused WHO of being too quick to dismiss or underplay a lab-leak theory that put Chinese officials on the defensive.
WHO concluded last year that it was “extremely unlikely” COVID-19 might have spilled into humans in the city of Wuhan from a lab. Many scientists suspect the coronavirus jumped into people from bats, possibly via another animal.
Yet in a report released Thursday, WHO's expert group said “key pieces of data” to explain how the pandemic began were still missing. The scientists said the group would “remain open to any and all scientific evidence that becomes available in the future to allow for comprehensive testing of all reasonable hypotheses.” Identifying a disease's source in animals typically takes years. It took more than a decade for scientists to pinpoint the species of bats that were the natural reservoir for SARS, a relative of COVID-19.
WHO's expert group also noted that since lab accidents in the past have triggered some outbreaks, the highly politicized theory could not be discounted.
Jean-Claude Manuguerra, a co-chair of the 27-member international advisory group, acknowledged that some scientists might be “allergic” to the idea of investigating the lab leak theory, but said they needed to be “open-minded” enough to examine it.
The report could revive accusations that WHO initially was too accepting of Chinese government explanations early in the outbreak, which ultimately killed millions of people, sickened millions more, forced dozens of countries into lockdown and upended the world economy.
WHO's expert group said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus sent two letters to senior Chinese government officials in February requesting information, including details about the earliest human cases of COVID-19 in the city of Wuhan. It's unclear whether the Chinese responded.
The experts said no studies were provided to WHO that assessed the possibility of COVID-19 resulting from a laboratory leak. They said their understanding of how the coronavirus emerged was limited by several factors, including that not all research presented by Chinese scientists has been published.
Jamie Metzl, who sits on an unrelated WHO advisory group, has suggested that the Group of Seven industrialized nations set up their own COVID origins probe, saying WHO lacks the political authority, expertise and independence to conduct such a critical evaluation.
Metzl welcomed WHO's call for a further investigation into the lab leak possibility but said it was insufficient.
“Tragically, the Chinese government is still refusing to share essential raw data and will not allow the necessary, full audit of the Wuhan labs,” he said. “Gaining access to this information is critical to both understanding how this pandemic began and preventing future pandemics.” WHO's expert scientists said numerous avenues of research were needed, including studies evaluating the role of wild animals, and environmental studies in places where the virus might have first spread, like the Huanan seafood market in Wuhan.
In March 2021, WHO released a report about COVID-19's origins following a highly choreographed visit by international scientists to China. The report concluded that the disease most likely jumped into humans from bats and that there was no evidence to suggest there was a connection to a laboratory.
Yet after considerable criticism, including from some scientists on WHO's team, the agency's director acknowledged that it was “ premature ” to rule out a lab leak and said he asked China to be more transparent in sharing information.
In its new report, WHO said the experts were given access to data that included unpublished blood samples from more than 40,000 people in Wuhan in 2019. The samples were tested for COVID-19 antibodies. None were found, suggesting the virus was not spreading widely before it was first identified in late December of that year.
WHO's experts called for numerous studies to be done, including testing wild animals to find which species might host COVID-19. They also said the “cold chain” supply theory should be probed. China has previously advanced the idea that traces of COVID-19 on frozen packaging was causing outbreaks rather than any domestic source, a theory widely panned by outside scientists.
To investigate whether COVID-19 might have been the result of a lab accident, WHO's experts said interviews should be conducted “with the staff in the laboratories tasked with managing and implementing biosafety and biosecurity.” China has called the suggestion that COVID-19 began in a laboratory “ baseless ” and countered that the virus originated in American facilities, which were also known to be researching coronaviruses in animals. The Chinese government has said it supports the search for the pandemic's origins, but that other countries should be the focus.
In a footnote to the report, WHO's group noted that three of its own experts — scientists from China, Brazil and Russia — disagreed with the call to investigate the possibility of COVID-19 being sparked by a lab accident.

Debate over coronavirus origin could go for ever: Here's what India's leading virologist thinks about lab leak theory.&nbsp;

On News Guru | Debate on Covid-19's origin? Here's what India's leading virologist thinks about it

Despite WHO's&nbsp;visit to China's&nbsp;Wuhan&nbsp;where the first case of the coronavirus&nbsp;emerged, no conclusion has come out regarding the origin&nbsp;of the deadly virus. However,&nbsp;the director of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, had previously declined all these allegations.&nbsp; &nbsp; After many discussions on the origin of Covid-19, world is expecting&nbsp;China must act responsibly regarding transparency on Covid-19 origins. Shahid Jameel, an eminent virologist, while speaking to&nbsp;Vikram&nbsp;Chandra on NewsGuru, shares his views and explains why the probe may be unending.&nbsp;

As the world deals with a global pandemic, the biggest unanswered questions have been on the origin of the coronavirus. Who opened the Pandora's box in Wuhan? Was the virus lab-made in China? While China has debunked these claims, counter-allegations and conspiracy theories have been flying thick and fast.
Dr Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese virologist was among the first people to claim that the coronavirus was leaked from a lab in Wuhan. She recently said that Dr Anthony Fauci&rsquo;s emails prove that her claims were right. A former postdoctoral fellow at the University of Hong Kong, Dr Li-Meng Yan fled to the US in April last year. She has co-authored many pre-print research papers, which claimed that the SARS-CoV-2 virus was actually &lsquo;produced&rsquo; in the laboratory. But her papers have been widely criticised by the international scientific community.
On today's episode of News Guru, Vikram Chandra speaks to Dr Li-Meng Yan, on her claims that China may have actually 'weaponized' the SARS-COV-2.

Former president Donald Trump on Thursday said that India has been devastated by the coronavirus pandemic, insisting that China should pay $10 trillion to the US for allegedly being responsible for the spread of Covid-19 globally.
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said that in fact, China should pay more as compensation to the world, but this is what they have the capacity to pay.
&ldquo;Look at what's going on in India now. You know, they used to say, look how well India was doing, because they were always looking for an excuse -- look how well India is doing. The fact that India has just been devastated now, and virtually, every country has been devastated,&rdquo; Trump said.
Trump has been alleging that the coronavirus may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in central China's Wuhan city.

Amid growing traction for the theory that Covid-19 virus may have leaked from a Wuhan lab, China top bat coronavirus researcher has spoke up and has slammed the hypothesis.
Known as China's 'bat woman' Shi Zhengli, who is a researcher at Wuhan Institute of Virology, has told New York Times that there is no evidence to show that the virus escaped from her lab. She has also lamented the "filth being poured on an innocent scientist".
&ldquo;How on earth can I offer up evidence for something where there is no evidence?&rdquo; she told the New York Times in rare comment to the media on the issue.
In a March 2020 article in Scientific American, Shi said that the genetic code of the virus that causes Covid-19 doesn&rsquo;t match any of her lab&rsquo;s samples.
There have been growing calls to probe deeper the possibility of virus lab leak and calls for greater transparency and aooperation from Beijing.

A report on the origins of Covid-19 by a U.S. government national laboratory concluded the hypothesis claiming the virus leaked from a Chinese lab in Wuhan is plausible and deserves further investigation. 
The study was prepared in May 2020 by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California and was referred by the State Department when it conducted an inquiry into the pandemic's origins, The Wall Street Journal has reported.
The US has consistently&nbsp;accused China of a cover-up at the start of the Covid pandemic and has sought more transparency from Beijing in probe into the virus origins.
China has rejected assertions that coronavirus escaped from a Wuhan lab, a theory that has got tremendous mainstream traction off late.

Amid calls for a fresh probe into the origins of the coronavirus and greater traction for the&nbsp;Wuhan lab leak theroy, a new study has claimed that Chinese scientists created the virus in a lab.
The new research paper by British professor Angus Dalgleish and Norwegian scientist Dr Birger Sorensen has stated that the Chinese scientists tried to cover their tracks by reverse-engineering versions of the virus to make it look like it evolved naturally from bats.
British media has reported that the research has also found that the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has no "credible natural ancestor" giving more credence to the theory that it was created in a lab.
The study has alleged "deliberate destruction, concealment or contamination of data" at Chinese labs and notes the silencing and disappearance of scientists in China who spoke out about the activities.

days after US President Joe Biden asked intelligence agencies to redouble efforts to probe the origins of coronavirus, India has backed the call for further investigation into the origins of the virus that has wreaked havoc in the world. New Delhi has also sought the cooperation of China and other parties for such studies. The External affairs ministry on Friday said the World Health Organization (WHO)-led study was an &ldquo;important first step&rdquo;, but more studies were needed to reach &ldquo;robust conclusions&rdquo;. The theory that Covid virus may have leaked from a Wuhan lab has gain major mainstream traction and has led to calls for probe. China has all along dismissed the lab leak theory and has maintained that the virus originated naturally.
