Sky News host Chris Kenny says the World Health Organisation’s visit to Wuhan becomes a “bit of a circular investigation” after revelations the WHO's findings rely on evidence provided by Chinese scientists.
“Let me give you a bit of an update though on China, the World Health Organisation, and that complete whitewash,” Mr Kenny said.
He pointed to an exchange between one US member of the WHO team of experts (Peter Daszak) and a CNN interviewer, in which the US scientist conceded the evidence behind one of the findings of the recent investigation came from “what China’s been doing”.
“The evidence the WHO relies on for this frozen food theory, is the evidence provided by the Chinese scientists? Really? What was the point of going there, what a sham,” Mr Kenny said.
“Oh, and that scientist, esteemed and renowned as he is, has some relevant connections.
“He has been involved in previous studies funded by the Chinese government and the US government.
“According to a number of US media reports, those studies have gone on for decades and they have occurred in collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“It becomes a bit of a circular investigation doesn’t it?
“No wonder China has so far been able to bat this one away.”
