The head of the World Health Organisation privately believes the Covid pandemic started following a leak from a Chinese laboratory, a senior Government source claims. The Mail on Sunday has more.
The source said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), had recently confided to a senior European politician that the most likely explanation was a catastrophic accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, where infections first spread during late 2019.
The Mail on Sunday first revealed concerns within Western intelligence services about the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where scientists were manipulating coronaviruses sampled from bats in caves nearly 1,000 miles away – the same caves where Covid-19 is suspected to have originated – in April 2020. The worldwide death toll from the Covid pandemic is now estimated to have hit more than 18 million.
The WHO was initially criticised for its deferential approach to China over the pandemic, as well as a willingness to accept Beijing’s protestations that claims of a laboratory leak were just a ‘conspiracy theory’.
However, in the absence of any compelling evidence of ‘zoonotic’ spread – the process by which a virus leaps from animals to humans – it is now adopting a more neutral public stance.
Dr Tedros updated member states on the pandemic this month, admitting: “We do not yet have the answers as to where it came from or how it entered the human population.
“Understanding the origins of the virus is very important scientifically to prevent future epidemics and pandemics.
“But morally, we also owe it to all those who have suffered and died and their families. The longer it takes, the harder it becomes. We need to speed up and act with a sense of urgency.
“All hypotheses must remain on the table until we have evidence that enables us to rule certain hypotheses in or out. This makes it all the more urgent that this scientific work be kept separate from politics. The way to prevent politicisation is for countries to share data and samples with transparency and without interference from any government. The only way this scientific work can progress successfully is with full collaboration from all countries, including China, where the first cases of SARS-CoV-2 were reported.”

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
Unbelievable hypocrisy, Yet they seem to just get away with it.
I’m afraid that even the charitable diagnosis of ignorance or mental illness doesn’t work as an excuse for child abuse. Munchausan’s Syndrome or simple abuse by proxy – same thing. There needs to be protection against it.
Safeguarding requires that both Scottish and UK governments are stripped of their powers to abuse minors, and parents and teachers need to be de-programmed.
There also needs to be awareness that this is far more widespread and affects far more children than the traditional images of abuse that (allegedly) horrifies people.
in 3 … 2 …. 1 …. “you just want kids to die I guess” ….
“It’s estimated that 500,000 people in the UK have long covid” according to Channel 4 Dispatches.
Who the fuck by? Is there no end to the utter, utter shit these people will spout?
“Is there no end to the utter, utter shit these people will spout?”
If there is, it’s nowhere in sight yet. Mass hypochondria rules!
There was a time when Dispatches challenged the establishment rather than acted as another arm of propaganda.
I support mandatory masks, handcuffs, ball and chains, and a dungeon.
For Johnson, Hancock, Whitty, Vallance, Ferguson, etc., after their televised trials.
The article says this is mandatory – is there a link to that law? Believe the guidance might imply that it is, but last secondary legislation specifically exempted schools.
Face masks are not mandatory anywhere, there are exemptions that apply, no proof required.
I do hope at least some young people have the backbone to make a stand against this. Set yourself free!
