because from china s view, not only did the virus not originate in a lab in wuhan, they don t believe that it started in china at all. and so, if there is going to be mounting pressure on china to have investigators on the ground, u.s. scientists come to look at any audits, we expect there should be a discussion around reciprocation. at the same time the lab leak theory has been refloated, china has been fighting back with what is could be called the ft. detrick theory. this belief that the world health organization needs to start looking elsewhere at other labs in other facilities in other countries, in particular in the u.s. so the thing is that nothing has really changed in that position, from china s perspective, except that now this lab leak theory
feels they ve done their part and the w.h.o. feels they opened up the investigation, broadened the investigation to other lab facilities around the world, in particular the united states. so now it becomes a matter of fighting the lab leak theory with the ft. detrick theory. so 20 come up with some of the answers president biden is looking for in 90 days to help steer or guide this investigation into a better direction, it s still unclear. what we know at this point is there s been no indication here on the part of china they re going to be willing to allow u.s. investigators or w.h.o. investigators back on the ground here before the w.h.o. has a look elsewhere. dr. jha, let s talk about why it s so important to determine the origins of this. if the virus did leak from a wuhan lab, what would the potential implications of that be? yeah, so, stephanie, first, thank you for having me back. we need to understand what the origin is for a variety of reasons. not the least of which is we
