don t know. even this bit of information we grot from the wall street journal doesn t get us far honestly. if the intelligence community doesn t know, okay they don t know that doesn t mean we should stop and throw up our hands and say we can t figure it out. because we need to figure if out because we need to to prevent the next pandemic which will surely come. they are actively deenting it in the biden administration. it s a political sort of like problem for them. it s a real it s a no-one situation. if they find out the lab react was true. they have to knit trump and pompeo were right. on the other hand they want to make sure we don t have another pandemic. in the end i hope they do the right thing. investigate the natural theory, the lab theory and find out what happened to the 580,000 americans who dyed. politically speaking is the biden s biggest fear upsetting the trump or admitting the trump administration was right
for that. thank you. without the data that they would need to make that determination and some sciences said it was a conflict of interest and ahead of the w.h.o. that we need to spend more time in the lab. there is a lot of visions and we have not found any evidence that s true. now if you are saying we need to look into both. yeah, i think we do. we have to recognize it is not it has been a year of scientists tells us not to look in the lab theory. and now we should look at both, great, that does not mean we have done that. that s simply not the case. dr. gounder. with all do reue respect, if are investigating broad spill
get cities and states ready. so the when is the thing that is just inexcusable. it s a great point. it s not just time is money here but time is lives. right. because early response, you know, would have made a difference. yeah. for sure. and dr. del rio, to you, what also matters about the origin is how do you prevent it from happening again? even if if the lab theory proves out, and we re a long way from that, you know, one is to say that something akin to that from increased testing to try to make something more contagious, et. cetera isn t done again. what are the global laws and rules protecting against them? well, that s exactly right. right. we need better global health security framework that actually allows those things not to happen and not to occur, whether it s by accident or intention. but more importantly, also, with the increasing, you know we have humans into animals and the changes in the environment, we re likely going to see
out. dr. fauci actually said recently that he is not confident this occurred naturally and the lab theory requires more investigation. so it is important to note that we don t know, and neither does the u.s. intelligence community, for that matter, what the researchers got sick with. their symptoms were consistent with symptoms of coronavirus but they were consistent with other technical illnesses. things like the flu, for example. so the intention community does not know whether they had covid-19 and that is why they had to seek hospital care. but, of course, that s something that the biden administration and the international community has said needs more investigation. yeah. exactly. they re not eliminating it. more open to the lab escape theory than before. david, the china government s typical response is to deny, deny, deny. that s what they re doing here. do they have any evidence to back that denial?
china keeps stonewalling the origins of the virus, what options does president biden have? the existence of the intelligence, and michael rig rightly pointed out, this reports back as far as january, and it indicates to me why the biden administration has already been aware of this intelligence and why they had a consistent line of being pretty tough and saying china needs to be more forth coming and we don t rule out this lab theory and demand more investigation. i was expecting them to take a different tone when they came in, and the fact that this intelligence, it helps me to know why the biden administration continues to press china on its lack of cooperation and there s the issue of the credibility of the world health organization. this is in the context of an investigation. clearly it was insufficient, the
