A bit more on the letter from Peter Daszak (the guy who led the Wuhan research proposal):
"An open letter co-authored by Daszak, signed by 27 scientists and published in The Lancet on 19 February 2020, stated: “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that COVID-19 does not have a natural origin…and overwhelmingly conclude that this coronavirus originated in wildlife.” It further warned that blaming Chinese researchers for the virus’ origin jeopardised the fight against the disease.[28].
The letter has been criticized by Jamie Metzl for “scientific propaganda and thuggery”, and by Katherine Eban of Vanity Fair as having had a “chilling effect” on scientific research and the scientific community by implying that scientists who “bring up the lab-leak theory… are doing the work of conspiracy theorists”.[29][30][31]
According to emails obtained by FOIA, Daszak was the primary organizer of the letter, and had communicated with colleagues while drafting and signing the letter to “conceal his role and creat[e] the impression of scientific unanimity.”[31] It also caused controversy since Daszak did not disclose that his EcoHealth Alliance group had an existing relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology, with some alleging that this was an apparent conflict of interest.[32] In June 2021, The Lancet published an addendum in which the April 2020 letter’s authors were asked to update their competing interest disclosures. As the only author to do so, Daszak listed his cooperation with researchers in China "
Also:
“In 2020 Daszak was named by the World Health Organization as the sole U.S.-based representative on a team sent to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic”
Lol - dodgy as fuck.
