The United States, the United Kingdom and twelve other countries revealed this Tuesday World Health Organization (WHO) report on the origin of COVID-19 “worries” Further “transparency” is needed in the next stages of the study. “We unite to express our shared concerns about the recent WHO China study, while reiterating the importance of working together to create and use a quick, effective, transparent, science-based and independent process, which should be used in international assessments as a kind of explosive in the future,” the governments of 14 countries said.

The original data could not be reviewed by the WHO team Based on these reports, according to American media outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, this would have allowed them to reach their own conclusions about the origin and spread of the virus. “Scientific work like this – confirmed by fourteen governments – can do their work independently and under conditions that make objective recommendations and discoveries.”
Therefore, they asked that the following stages of the study of the origin of the virus be developed Adherence to “transparency”, “speed” and “resource-based process”. The WHO report does not provide a final answer on the origin of the virus, whose results are summarized in four hypotheses, most of which are classified from first to least.
