Several international researchers are now criticizing the report on the origin of the pandemic virus, which the World Health Organization WHO presented last week.
– I am a little disappointed that they have not had access to more data and were able to do a proper investigation. What they have done they have done, but it would need to be done so much more, says Magnus Evander, professor of virology at Umeå University.
Researchers in Australia, France, Spain, Austria and the USA, among others, are critical of, among other things, that blood from blood banks has not been examined to see if the virus circulated in the population before the then unknown respiratory disease was discovered in a patient on December 8, 2019 in Wuhan in China, the disease which was later named covid19.
They also point out that in order to be able to write off that the virus was spread from the security lab in Wuhan, where they worked with coronavirus, the coronaviruses they possibly worked with must be sequenced and blood tests with staff antibody levels before the outbreak must be reported. Tomas Bergström, professor of clinical microbiology at the Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg, agrees with the criticism
–It is not possible to sweep it under the carpet. It is too big an event with covid19 and there are too many question marks around the initial stage, and then there are many researchers who ask these questions now and want to present data, says professor of clinical microbiology Tomas Bergström.
Epidemiology professor Thea Fischer at the University of Copenhagen is one of the participants in the WHO’s international team. She replies in an email to Vetenskapsradion that she does not understand the criticism, as the report describes that the team met the head of the blood bank in Wuhan, and after that has requested that a study from the blood bank be done.
