A member of the World Health Organization team in Wuhan to study the origin of the pandemic hit out at U.S. intelligence on Feb. 9, hours after a State Department spokesperson said that the “jury’s still out” on whether the Chinese regime gave the team full transparency.

President Joe Biden “has to look tough on China,” Peter Daszack, a US scientist who is part of the WHO investigation of the virus origin in Wuhan, said on Twitter as the mission ended.
