Aiya. That Lancet report said the laboratories in Wuhan, China, where the virus was initially reported to have jumped from animals to humans at a wet market but not yet investigated. US labs and that the National Institutes of Health has “resisted disclosing details” of its work on viruses related to SARS-CoV. Did WHO said this also?
This Assmerican, Sache, is just an economist and not a virologist. He was quoted as “a long-time advocate of dismantling American hegemony and embracing the rise of China” What do u expect him to say?
A Canadian Virologist, Angela Rasmussen, said “This may be one of The Lancet’s most shameful moments regarding its role as a steward and leader in communicating crucial findings about science and medicine,”
This was what Sache said in the Lancet final report
"In its final report this week, the Lancet Commission on Covid-19 led by Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs said the virus could well have had a natural origin, but the commission could not rule out it could have passed to humans during laboratory research in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the virus was first detected, or elsewhere."
Think he got smart this time after lots of scoldings. Nothing was mentioned about US resisting disclosing details. So stop spreading such old news.
Lancet Covid Commission Head Jeffrey Sachs: The U.S. Government Knows More Than It Is Telling Us About The Origin Of Covid-19
The Lancet's Covid-19 Commission, led by Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs, is looking into the origin of the virus. Sachs told CNN on Thursday that the U.S. government knows more than it has stated publicly about where Covid-19 came from.

Just his opinion. Needs evidence backed by Science & virologists, not from political or politicians. May b he was frustrated that he could not express this opinion in Lancet in the final report. Best party to do this is WHO.
Wiki has a very detailed article about COVID-19 lab leak theory
Quote:Tedros called for "audits of relevant laboratories and research institutions" in the area of the initial COVID-19 cases.[105] China refused saying it showed "disrespect" and "arrogance towards science".[106][104][107] The United States criticised China's position on the follow-up origin probe as "irresponsible" and "dangerous".[108]

Now this is a bit worrying...Even US' ally S Koreans are openly concern with the US military bringing bio-weapon into the country.
This is "incident" was not covered by CNN, BBC nor CNA but widely known by S Koreans about the US is doing in their country.
"Lack of trust deepens fear....in May 2015, the Pentagon confirmed that its laboratory in Utah had “inadvertently” sent live anthrax samples to one of its military bases in South Korea, rather than the inactivated samples that were meant to be delivered for the project."

Strange - your source says she is a "Canadian Virologist"...and yet Wiki is "American virologist"....
BTW she formerly work for NIH ( US gov National Institutes of Health) ..the very institution, where Dr Fauci is a director, help funded research on SARS virus by EcoHealth Alliance which worked with WIV.
Speaking of mixing Politics with the Pandemic - even our famous Dr Fauci kenna questioned by US "law makers".
The pandemic not only kill over 1 million Americans, it also killed any remaining trust between US politicians, academics, institutions, goverment and people...Now that even Dr Fauci kenna attacked simply because US has worked with China on virus research in the past..HA!
In May 2021 when COVID was surging globally, a calm Dr Fauci trying to explain science to a US politician about why NIH was funding research at WIV (Wuhan Institution of Virology) . This basically shows how divided and detached America is today...
