The re -emergence of laboratory allegations in China is the starting point COVID-19 virus. The accusation this time comes from a report by the Republican Party of the United States (US).
The report was released on Monday (3/8/2021) and its conclusions have not been confirmed, the US intelligence agency said. Inside, it contains a wealth of evidence claiming that the scientists of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) carried out the modifications corona virus to infect humans as well as manipulations that can be hidden.
It is said, WIV works assisted by experts from the US. Meanwhile, the funds also come from the US.
Quoted from the page Reuters, Republican Representative Mike McCaul released a report by his party panel staff. He also urged to conduct an investigation regarding origin of Corona.
Wuhan is known to be the place where the Corona virus was first detected in 2019. Regarding the allegations, China categorically denies the theory and Beijing denies covering up.
Meanwhile, another theory that has developed from experts is that the pandemic is caused by an animal virus. The virus was likely transmitted to humans at a seafood market near WIV.
But the Republican report said it was time to ignore the source of the pandemic from the market. It is written if a lot of evidence points to the virus leaking from WIV.
“We also believe there is ample evidence that the virus did indeed leak from WIV and that it occurred before September 12, 2019,” the report said.
The report cites what it says is new and underreported information about safety protocols in laboratories.
This includes a request for an overhaul of the hazardous treatment system in July 2019. Reports put the system’s cost at $1.5 million for a facility that is not yet two years old.
Meanwhile, in April, the US intelligence agency said it agreed with the scientific consensus that the virus was not man-made or genetically modified.
One month later, President Joe Biden also asked intelligence agencies in the US to speed up the search for the origin of the virus. He requested that the report be available within 90 days.
According to a source, the US intelligence community has yet to reach a conclusion as to whether the virus has animal origin or WIV.
