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.

So they sit every year at the executive board in January or January and the World Health Assembly every May here in Geneva. And they come together to outline what they want us to do in support of all member states. We have a global program of work. All of that is online. You can see what it is that our member states are asking us to do. But we have the power that they want us to have.
