No country has boycotted the Olympics, however, for that cause.<\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>Global Times<\/em> emphasized Tedros\u2019 close relationship with the Xi Jinping dictatorship, noting that the W.H.O. chief visited China in the early days of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic to allegedly aid Beijing with its response.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOver the past two years, China and the WHO have been working closely in sharing information, providing experiences, origins-tracing studies, supporting vaccinations among other areas of collaboration,\u201d the state propaganda outlet reported.<\/p>\n<p>The World Health Organization has faced severe criticism for defending multiple debunked claims out of Beijing, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/europe\/2021\/01\/14\/one-year-ago-w-h-o-shared-chinese-covid-propaganda-no-clear-evidence-of-human-to-human-transmission\/\">announcing<\/a> in late January 2020 that the highly contagious virus was not transmissible from human to human.

According to&nbsp;<em>Der Spiegel<\/em>, Tedros spoke to Xi directly, who urged him not to declare the rapidly spreading disease a pandemic. Tedros visited Beijing a week after the alleged call to praise the Communist Party for its handling of the situation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13323697\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13323697\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/wuhan-laboratory-2.jpg\" alt=\"Inside the P4 laboratory in Wuhan in 2017.BY\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli (L) is seen inside the P4 laboratory in Wuhan. (Photo by JOHANNES EISELE\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The W.H.O. delayed an investigation into the origins of the Chinese coronavirus in Wuhan for over a year, allowing China to destroy critical evidence. When W.H.O. officials finally visited, the Communist Party significantly curtailed their access to key locations and forcibly oversaw the probe. The W.H.O. investigators concluded, despite finding no evidence of an animal reservoir of the disease, that it had originated in an animal who infected an intermediary species that then naturally infected humans. It ruled out any speculation about the virus potentially originating in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a top laboratory that had been studying coronavirus at the time of the initial outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>Tedros himself <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/03\/30\/w-h-o-chief-tedros-w-h-o-probe-into-wuhan-lab-not-extensive-enough\/\">condemned<\/a> the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do not believe that this assessment was extensive enough. Further data and studies will be needed to reach more robust conclusions,\u201d he said following its publication in March 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the team has concluded that a laboratory leak is the least likely hypothesis, this requires further investigation, potentially with additional missions involving specialist experts, which I am ready to deploy,\u201d he added. \u201cWe will keep you informed as plans progress, and as always, we very much welcome your input.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Frances Martel on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/francesimartel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/francesimartel\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1643765950098000&amp;usg=AOvVaw23AQC9DygBP6Uvx2AKooEo\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/francesmartel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/twitter.com\/francesmartel&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1643765950098000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1V8tY067ZdeWpATK5ZWNXI\">Twitter.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Health Organization (W.H.O.)
