A World health Organization (WHO) expert panel that went to China to investigate the origin of the Chinese Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia) concluded that COVID-19 (a disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus) could not have originated in the Wuhan laboratory. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) responded Wednesday (Feb. 10) that the WHO was parroting the CCP’s lies.
“Shameful. At the beginning of the outbreak, WHO acted as a propagandist for the Chinese Communist Party, echoing its lies.” Cruz tweeted a statement saying, “Now, WHO concludes that the virus was not accidentally leaked from the Wuhan government’s lab, because …… that’s what the CCP told them.”
The WHO experts concluded their trip to China on Feb. 9. Danish scientist Peter Ben Embarek, who led the WHO fact-finding mission, dismissed as “highly unlikely” the suggestion that the CCP virus could have leaked from a local virology lab. He said bats remain suspect.
“The laboratory event hypothesis is highly unlikely to explain the entry of the virus into humans.” Embarek said, “So (it) is not among the hypotheses we would recommend for future research.”
Days before former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo left office, the State Department issued a fact sheet stating that there is reason to believe several researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virus Research exhibited symptoms similar to COVID-19, a disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus, in the fall of 2019.
The U.S. State Department expressed doubts Feb. 9 about the transparency of the WHO team during its Time in Wuhan, saying the U.S. would draw conclusions after reviewing the full WHO report.
The team visited the Wuhan laboratory on Feb. 3.
“I think this report is disgraceful.” Cruz told Fox News Wednesday that “WHO did not step in as a medical professional and did not act quickly to stop this outbreak …… simply echoing the lies of the Chinese Communist government.”
Cruz noted that WHO assisted the Chinese Communist regime in covering up the early stages of the Wuhan outbreak in late 2019 by failing to act to stop international travel from Wuhan, leading to a full-blown outbreak.
A congressional Republican audit last September concluded that the Chinese Communist Party and WHO were “culpable” for the spread of the virus and that the global pandemic could have been prevented if they had not done so.
The report, launched by Republican members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, said the Chinese Communist Party actively covered up information about the spread of the virus, while the WHO enabled the cover-up by praising the Communist Party and “parroting” its talking points.
Last July, the Trump administration announced plans to withdraw from the WHO.
Former President Donald Trump said the WHO had failed to investigate credible information from Wuhan, China, that contradicted Beijing‘s claims about the spread of the virus and “parroted and publicly supported” the claim that the virus was not human-to-human.
U.S. President Joe Biden reversed Trump’s decision to leave the WHO once he took office.
Separately, Chinese dissident Yuan Hongbing, a scholar who has openly criticized the Chinese Communist Party, denounced the WHO’s findings on the source of the outbreak as “a farce staged by the Chinese (Communist) regime. He added that the Chinese Communist Party is likely to use the findings to shirk responsibility for the global crisis.
The WHO team said it could take years for health experts to fully understand the source of the Chinese Communist virus.
