China Refuses To Cooperate With WHO Investigation; Says Lab Leak Possibility Is A “Conspiracy Theory” And “Against Science”

The communist Chinese government is again refusing to cooperate with the World Health Organisation’s investigation into the origins of COVID-19, declaring that any attempt to look into the lab leak theory goes “against science”.
Zeng Yixin, deputy head of China’s National Health Commission announced Thursday that Chinese authorities will not participate in phase two of the WHO’s probe, which involves a further visit to the Wuhan lab.
“In some aspects, the WHO’s plan for the next phase of investigation of the coronavirus origin doesn’t respect common sense, and it’s against science. It’s impossible for us to accept such a plan,” Zeng declared during a press briefing, calling the lab leak notion a “conspiracy theory.”
Meanwhile, in the U.S., House Democrats have blocked a bill that would see intelligence on the origins of COVID-19 declassified. (...)
