The Point: How dangerous is politicizing COVID-19 origin research?

For more:

The China-WHO joint mission said it hasn't discovered the origin of COVID-19 after its investigation in Wuhan but that it is "extremely unlikely" the virus leaked from a lab there. Why is tracing the source so important, and what are the next steps?

China was right in suggesting US opened up Fort Detrick for WHO do the same intensive investigation.

Who should investigated the outbreak of an unknown respiratory 'flu-like" outbreak in August 2019 near US Fort Derrick biological weapons laboratory. Bt W the lab had to be closed during the autumn 2019 due to poor control.

Like a bad smell US is keen to point fingers at others.

I always blamed China at the beginning of out break of pandemic I now know finally realised that the truth has come out on the spot now I must call CHEYNA, CHEYNA, CHEYNA, you are the one first victim and first line of defence, you are the one who released genetic sequence COD selflessly, you are the one who helped to save lives multi million people around the globe I greatly admired yours courageous handling of covid 19 and openness.

It is necessary to know the origin of the virus, be it in France, Italy, Spain or Fort Detrick USA or even the burned animals of Australia or the animal lovers who put the rescued animals on the tables while eatring with them, just so that in future we know where to curb such outgrowth instead of having millions die.

There is no way the world dare to conduct investigations on ... What to do?

[jinsoonchin]

Why can't pompeo or trump bring out the evidences if what they said is true.

When one farts and it stinks, one surely won't admit that's one's fart!

We will only know who farts until we see who runs to toilet and poo...

[zCaptainz]

I know exactly where and how it started

[cammm]

The rabbits around Fort Detrick, lot of them there. Strange that RABBITS is now being mentioned, when the bats was certain culprits.

Fine, I'll believe it if you show the proof.
