Both #OriginsOfCovid study committees with strong ties to EcoHealth Alliance & WIV have finally been disbanded.
As many are aware by now, there are plentiful opportunities outside China to collect information about the early days of the outbreak in Wuhan.

"The previous WHO-selected team.. recommended that their Chinese counterparts analyze blood banks, test farmworkers and further scrutinize the earliest suspected cases.. China hasn’t said whether it has undertaken such work. The original WHO team has been disbanded."
If there are any people out there who believe China would not do everything in its power to rapidly identify the source of a killer virus in one of its top cities, with or without the recommendations of foreign experts...

If the Chinese gov truly thought another country had caused an outbreak in China, I don't think that country would exist in its current form today...
"China’s government has insisted.. that studies on the origins of the virus should now focus on other countries, such as Italy.."

Can I recommend to @WHO that instead of flying the new team to China, you should be flying out Chinese experts?
Could be a more productive approach to getting to the bottom of #OriginsOfCovid
If the Chinese gov won't let its own experts leave, that also tells us something.

Especially considering the new era of hostage diplomacy, we don't want to risk the new 20 international experts being put in Chinese prison for various accused crimes for many years.
"the WHO lacks power and it’s inconceivable to me that a new committee will be able to negotiate access to China…This is building a beautiful committee with nowhere to go."
Don't fly the beautiful committee into China. Fly the Chinese scientists (& their families) out of China.
