Dismissal of Wuhan lab leak theory ‘did damage’ to system of COVID-19 inquiry

Australian Strategic Policy Institute’s Peter Jennings says the initial dismissal of the Wuhan lab leak theory as a conspiracy theory has “done damage” to what should have been a more open system of inquiry.

It comes after US President Joe Biden ordered a 90-day probe into the origins of COVID-19, as the theory it was leaked from a lab in Wuhan gains momentum.

“There is now a reasonable prospect that we will get much closer to the truth,” Mr Jennings told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“And truth is going to look something more like a leak from the Institute of Virology in Wuhan rather than animal to human transfer at a wet market.”
