WHO slams critics of COVID-19 origins probe

The World Health Organization has blasted critics of its investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and challenged those claiming to know better to come forward with proof.

The UN agency’s emergencies director Michael Ryan hit out at those taking a swipe at the mission.

Ryan said many critics were saying they won’t accept the report when it comes out, or that there is other intelligence available that may show different findings on how the virus broke out.

The WHO mission comes with heavy political baggage as china refused the team access until mid-January.
