China pressured WHO team to say lab leak ‘extremely unlikely’

The transcript discusses the theory that a Chinese lab leak was unlikely to be the origin of COVID-19, as stated by a Danish TV station. Danish scientist Peter Embarek revealed that the term 'extremely unlikely' was used due to pressure from Chinese team members. He highlighted the refusal to discuss the possibility of human error in a Chinese lab and pointed out that horseshoe bats are not native to Wuhan, suggesting patient zero could have been a lab worker. Concerns were raised about a Chinese CDC lab moving close to the pandemic's epicenter in December 2019, which could have increased the risk of a lab leak.
