Unless the WHO team can travel to Wu Han at the time Australia pushed for a global inquiry into COVID origin, and have the right to contact the relatives of the COVID victims to find out how their loved ones died or interview the doctors who first reported the virus to the government, this pseudo investigation only serves China and Tedros.

Nothing new, would anybody expect anything against dictatorships inside the dictatorships? Comedy...

This baseless report has rendered the WHO an irrelevance, and brought its role and future in doubt.

Not only does this so-called investigation discount the pandemic wasn’t the result of a leak from a Wuhan laboratory, apparently the pandemic didn’t originate from Wuhan at all.

The WHO is even suggesting the virus didn’t originate in China.

WHO is clearly no longer an independent global institution.

Whew, looks like the suspense is over boys.

I really thought maybe 50/50 it would come back that WHO found something that would go against what China would want exposed. Haha.

How unusual...

Such a Memory Hole moment. It's even in the mainstream media that the CCP had evidence of the origins of the virus destroyed. Do a search for: China lab Wuhan destroyed. Look at all the articles about evidence being destroyed way before the WHO arrived in China.

The world has been condemning the CCP over its initial mishandling of the local virus. Beijing is solely responsible and liable in this regard. Besides neighbors get frustrated that the CCP is taking advantage of the crisis to strengthen the grip on disputed territories and homeland suppressions.

Payback time will surely come and Beijing won't be able to get away.

Yeah, no one is buying that, lol

I guess the WHO had to say something, otherwise fall foul of the new Security Law within China and find themselves permanently imprisoned or even sold off for spare body parts...

well said!

Everyone already knew that it was CCP behind the corona virus. Because of the mishandling of the China it was able to execute its plan and was able to brake the economical backbone of all countries. As it always look forward to make it superior. And the world knows that it is taking advantage of the crisis to strengthen the grip on disputed territories and homeland suppressions. No one knows what is the relation of WHO with CCP or may be it is getting suppressed too but it is clearly visible that the outcomes which are presented is just 1% of the originals.

Ridiculous dog and pony show. The WHO needs house cleaning, Tedros needs to have his personal finanaces investigated. The CCP with the WHO's collaboration delayed the announcement that Covid19 was infectious Human-to-Human (WHO annouced it was but to a limited extent) and they delayed announcing the Pandemic. Their delay directly affected global response to this crisis. Now they carry out an "investigation" a year after when they should have, following the CCP script.

RaTG13 !!! There were no bats in the wet market. There were infected bats at the WIV. No one has to be Lt Colombo to figure this out.

Remember Dr Li Wenliang or other doctors that have disappeared and were threatened and told to ‘shut up?’

The crematoriums were working full time and people were dropping in the streets!

Yet, all the time the news was being suppressed!

The CCP had no time for the truth did they?

Why have there been no other outbreaks of the virus since?

If bats and other animals spread it then why isn’t the virus rampant in other parts of China?

Where are the mutations?

Why are people still not being infected-there are many many wet markets of questionable hygiene all over China, are there not?

The WHO visit is a pathetic sham that has NOT revealed the truth...

The team found no evidence that the disease was spreading widely any earlier than the initial outbreak in the second half of December 2019.

“We haven’t been able to fully do the research, but there is no indication there were clusters before what we saw happen in the later part of December in Wuhan,” Liang said.

So it couldn't have originated from Italy neither

After looking at the number of people died from the virus, I trusted China even more. A country which let its own people die like flies from a preventable disease do not deserve to be trusted. No matter whether it’s freedom or democracy, lives of its own citizen should come first. Facts have been revealed again and again that China was right in dealing with the virus but the West ignored and even smeared China. Now the WHO results have proven that China is innocent and right all along.

You have to be a total moron to believe the China Communist Party!!!

This investigation is a circus!

Most sensible people will probably take these results with a pinch/grain of salt.

Trump should replace Tedros!

Still got posters criticizing the WHO without providing any kind of explanation as to how the WHO should have fulfilled their mandate as the WORLD Heath Organization, while being kicked out of China for going political and using the name Taiwan.

It's easy to criticize. It takes intelligence to realize that there may not actually be a solution to the thing you are criticizing.

Nothing new here, the experts around the world have been saying this from day one. Only the tin hat brigade of conspiracy theory crackpots and anti-China right wingers have been making stuff up .... as usual.
