Now, the other hypothesis is that there was a breach in biosafety, biosecurity leaked from a lab. This is the lab leak hypothesis, not an intentional release, but that either the Wuhan Institute of Virology or the

Now, there's a lot of intelligence reports that have come out from the U.S., from France, from Germany, and many of them say they believe it was a lab leak. But none of those reports actually provide any evidence or data to show that that had happened. So right now it's a debate. We want it to be a scientific debate and not a political debate.

Listen, I mean, I am glad people know what WHO does. I'm glad we have an opportunity to answer these questions. We are in lacrosse hairs, but we are in the long game. You know, you mentioned in one of your earlier questions here, you know, these outbreaks, these epidemics, the work that we do, whether it's climate change or pandemic preparedness, outlives any election cycle.
