BEIJING - Mientras la Organización Mundial de la Salud elabora planes para la siguiente fase de su investigación sobre cómo comenzó la pandemia de coronavirus, un número cada vez mayor de científicos dice que la agencia de la ONU no está a la altura de la tarea y no debería ser la que investigue.
Numerosos expertos, algunos con fuertes vínculos con la OMS, dicen que las tensiones políticas entre Estados Unidos y China hacen imposible que una investigación de la agencia encuentre respuestas creíbles.
Dicen que lo que se necesita es un análisis amplio e independiente más cercano a lo que sucedió después del desastre nuclear de Chernobyl de 1986.

Beijing – As the World Health Organization draws up plans for the next phase of its probe of how the coronavirus pandemic started, an increasing number of scientists say the U.N. agency it isn’t up to the task and shouldn’t be the one to investigate.
Numerous experts, some with strong ties to WHO, say that political tensions between the U.S. and China make it impossible for an investigation by the agency to find credible answers.
They say what’s needed is a broad, independent analysis closer to what happened in the aftermath of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
