Science is needed to find how sars-cov2 reached humans

Call to action:

“”” We welcome calls for scientifically rigorous investigations.10, 11 To accomplish this, we encourage WHO and scientific partners across the world to expeditiously move to continue and further extend their initial investigation with experts in China and the Chinese Government. WHO's report from March, 2021,12 must be considered the beginning rather than the end of an inquiry, and we strongly support the G7 leaders' call for “a timely, transparent, expert-led, and science-based WHO-convened phase 2 COVID-19 origins study”.13 We also understand that it might take years of field and laboratory study to assemble and link the data essential to reach rational and objective conclusions, but that is what the global scientific community must strive to do “””

They also call to move beyond rhetoric with a goal of ending this pandemic and enacting systemic change to sense and halt the next one.

“”” Having robust surveillance and detection systems in place across the globe is essential to detect and report new or evolving pathogens that can potentially unleash the next local or global threat, as required by the International Health Regulations. Equally essential will be ensuring that the field workforce, laboratory facilities, and the health-care community can all work under the safest conditions. Until this pandemic ends, we ask, as we did in February, 2020,1 for solidarity and rigorous scientific data.

Ecohealth Alliance with another "peer-reviewed" published paper attempting to quell the lab-leak hypothesis.

Peter Daszak being one of the authors of this paper basically removes any shred of credibility for what is effectively an opinion piece.

It's not?

For example, "Did a nuclear power plant meltdown in Kansas yesterday?"

We use science for all sorts of stuff like that.

I don't think anyone should be absolutely sure one way or another, but China is a pretty big place and the country only has two labs at that level. Coincidences happen, yes, but this one seems pretty unlikely.

Peter Daszak, conflicts of interest, Ecohealth Alliance. That is why.
