In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/who-china-report-coronavirus-origins-e1a0b917-6302-437d-956c-aa7df7cb8f42.html\">leaked copy<\/a> of the report, which was expected to be released Tuesday, it stated the origins of the outbreak were \u201cinconclusive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It also characterized the theory that said the virus emerged from a lab in Wuhan as \u201cextremely unlikely\u201d \u2014 a conclusion that was met with criticism over a potential conflict of interest. The only American researcher on the team, EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak, admitted they did not investigate China\u2019s lack of transparency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut weren\u2019t the Chinese engaged in a cover-up?\u201d questioned \u201960 Minutes\u2019 Correspondent Lesley Stahl during an interview. \u201cThey destroyed evidence? They punished scientists who were trying to give evidence on this very question of the origin?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, that wasn\u2019t our task, to find out if China had covered up the origin issue,\u201d claimed Peter Daszak.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Peter Daszak, a member of the WHO-led inquiry into the origins of the COVID-19 virus and expert on coronaviruses, says the team looked into the theory that the virus originated in an accidental lab leak, but deemed the theory \u201cextremely unlikely.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/4RhcMEZcbc\">https:\/\/t.co\/4RhcMEZcbc<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uZY3fNhPT3\">pic.twitter.com\/uZY3fNhPT3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 60 Minutes (@60Minutes) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/60Minutes\/status\/1376315287323222023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, some scientists have questioned Daszak\u2019s involvement in the probe.
