The CDC lab that was in Wuhan, the China Centers for Disease Control lab in Wuhan was working with similar viruses. The virus infected someone working in that lab, and then the outbreak began. The problem is, is that China has not been forthcoming. They have not collaborated with, they have not communicated with us to the ability that we believe that they could.

And the frustration that I have at WHO is we cannot force a country to tell us. We cannot force a country to work with us. We couldn't do this with the U.S. We couldn't do this with France. We couldn't do this with South Africa. We have to rely on countries to share this information with us.

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. Right now it's politics.

And this is hurting everything. It's hurting all of the work that we do on surveillance. It's hurting all of the work for collaboration and trust in science. And this is the frustration that I have. So would I like us to do more? Absolutely. But we will not stop until we have exhausted every avenue to understand how this pandemic began.

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.

These transcend election cycles. And politicians need to show their people that they are responsible for, that they've got them through this.

And so there's this collective amnesia right now about what's happening with COVID, which is very detrimental, again, to what we need to do for it, especially in a constricting fiscal space of most of the money from health, certainly from COVID crisis shrinking. going to Gaza, going to Ukraine, and now many of the government budgets going from health to defense.
