White House COVID-19 adviser Andy Slavitt called for full assistance from the World Health Organization (WHO) in an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus and said "we don't have that now."
Slavitt spoke during Tuesday's COVID-19 task force briefing and said help from the WHO is needed alongside China, and that they both need to increase their efforts to provide answers to the world. His comments came as the White House announced that 50% of fully vaccinated U.S. adults will be reached on Tuesday.
